Cooking food
Notes
Food which lies flat will cook more quickly than food
■
which is piled high. You should therefore distribute
the food so that it is as flat as possible in the
ovenware. Different foodstuffs should not be placed
in layers on top of one another.

Cook the food in ovenware with a lid. If you do not
■
have a suitable lid for your ovenware, use a plate or
special microwave foil.
This will help the food retain its own distinct taste, so
■
it will require less seasoning.
After cooking, allow the food to stand for a further
■
2 to 5 minutes so that it can achieve an even
temperature.
Always use an oven cloth or oven gloves when
■
removing plates from the oven.

Increase or reduce the cooking times using the following rule of thumb:
Double the amount = almost double the cooking time
Half the amount = half the cooking time
Next time, set a shorter cooking time or select a lower microwave power set-
ting. Cover the food and add more liquid.
Set a longer time. Large quantities and food which is piled high require
longer times.
Stir it during the cooking time and next time, select a lower microwave power
setting and a longer cooking time.
Next time, select a lower microwave power setting. If you are defrosting a
large quantity, turn it several times.
