Important Recommendations

Cooking should be done only with the microwave safe vessels, we cannot use steel or any other vessel.
1. Temperature of foods. ---for best results it is recommended that foods conventionally prepared be slightly
undercooked when subsequently heated in this oven.
2. Remember that after the heating cycle has been completed, internal food temperatures continue to rise slightly
in foods heated in this oven.
3. A major abuse of microwave applications is the category of breads, pastries and pies are drier than insides or
fillings, they heat more slowly. Therefore, baked foods should only be heated until the crust is warm to the
℃ ℃
touch (45 -55 ).
4. Do not overheat your food: 99% of all food quantity complaints of microwave heated foods can be traced to
overheating.

Microwave Basics

A number of factors determine the success of microwave food preparation. They include:
1. Temperature of foods: frozen or refrigerated food items require longer heating times to reach a desired serving
temperature than foods from room temperature.
2. Food components: foods high in sugar, salt, fats and moisture content heat faster because these properties
attract microwave energy. Denser foods high in protein and fiber, absorb microwave energy slower which
means a lengthier heating time.
3. Bulk/volume: the greater the mass of food, the longer it takes to heat.
4. Containers: ceramic, paper, china, Styrofoam, glass and plastic are suitable for use in microwave ovens with the
following caution. Heating foods with either high sugar or high fat content should be done. Only in high
temperature resistant containers since these foods get very hot. Using Styrofoam containers for these foods
with cause the Styrofoam to warp. Other low temperature restaurant glass or plastic platters may crack or warp
under similar conditions. Do not heat food in a sealed container or bag. Foods expand when heated and can
break the container or bag.
5. Avoid metal: because it bounces the microwaves, causing uneven heating and sometimes even flashes, which
may pit or mar the interior of the oven, the metal container or plate trim.
6. Heated liquids can erupt if not mixed with air. Do not heat liquids in your microwave oven without first
stirring.
