• Arrange food carefully. Place thickest areas towards outside of dish.
• Watch cooking time. Cook for the shortest amount of time indicated and add more as needed. Food
severely overcooked can smoke or ignite.
• Cover foods while cooking. Covers prevent spattering and help foods to cook evenly.
• Turn foods over once during microwaving to speed cooking of such foods as chicken and hamburgers.
Large items like roasts must be turned over at least once.
• Rearrange foods such as meatballs halfway through cooking both from top to bottom and from the
center of the dish to the outside.
• The ideal material for a microwave utensil is transparent to microwave, it allows energy to pass through
the container and heat the food.
• Microwave can not penetrate metal, so metal utensils or dishes with metallic trim should not be used.
• Do not use recycled paper products when microwave cooking, as they may contain small metal fragments
which may cause sparks and/or fires.
• Round /oval dishes rather than square/oblong ones are recommend, as food in corners tends to overcook.
• Narrow strips of aluminum foil may be used to prevent overcooking of exposed areas. But be careful don’t
use too much and keep a distance of 1 inch (2.54cm) between foil and cavity.
