Cooking Tips

The following factors may affect the cooking result:

Food Arrangement
Place thicker areas towards outside of dish, the thinner part towards the centre and spread it evenly. Do not overlap if possible.
Cooking Time Length
Start cooking with a short time setting, evaluate it after it times out and extend it according to the actual need. Over cooking may result in smoke and burns.

Allow Resting Time
After cooking times out, leave the food in the oven for an adequate length of time, this allows it to complete its cooking cycle and cooling it down in a gradual manner.
Whether the Food is Done
Color and hardness of food help to determine if it is done, these include:
- Steam coming out from all parts of food, not just the edge
- Joints of poultry can be moved easily
- Pork or poultry shows no signs of blood
- Fish is opaque and can be sliced easily with a fork
Browning Dish
When using a browning dish or self-heating container, always place a heat- resistant insulator such as a porcelain plate under it to prevent damage to the glass tray and roller ring.
Microwave Safe Plastic Wrap
When cooking food with high fat content, do not allow the plastic wrap come into contact with food as it may melt.
Microwave Safe Plastic Cookware
Some microwave safe plastic cookware might not be suitable for cooking foods with high fat and sugar content. Also, the preheating time specified in the dish instruction manual must not be exceeded.
