The dish used to cook or reheat the food will get warm during cooking, as the heat
conducts from the food. Even in micro waving, oven gloves are required!
MICROWAVES CANNOT PASS THROUGH METAL AND THERE FORE METAL
COOKING UTEN SILS CAN NEVER BE USED IN A MICROWAVE, FOR COOKING
ON MICROWAVE ONLY
Foods Not Suitable for Cooking by Microwave Only:
Yorkshire Puddings, Souffles, Double Crust Pastry Pies.
Because these foods rely on dry external heat to cook correctly, do not attempt to cook
by micro wave.
Foods that require deep fat frying cannot be cooked either.
STANDING TIME
When a microwave oven is switched off, the food will continue to cook by
conduction – NOT BY MICROWAVE ENERGY. Hence STANDING TIME is very
important in microwaving, particularly for dense foods i.e. meat, cakes and reheated
meals (refer to page 14).
Boiled Eggs
Do not boil eggs in your microwave.
Raw eggs boiled in their shells can
explode and cause serious injury.
