13.1 Principles of microwave cooking
The power levels and time required for cooking / warming up food items depends on the
starting time, the quantity and the type and consistency of the food, etc. Use the
shortest indicated cooking time and extend the cooking procedure as necessary.
Arrange the food carefully. Position the thickest areas on the external edge of the bowl.
Cover the food while it is cooking. Lids suitable for use in microwaves protect against
spatters and also contribute towards cooking/warming up the food evenly.
During warming, the food should be turned, rearranged or stirred repeatedly, in order for
the temperature to be distributed evenly.
Any existing germs in the food are only killed off if the temperature is sufficiently high
enough (> 70°C) and if the time used is sufficiently long enough (> 10 min).
