Cooking Guide

MICROWAVES

Microwave energy actually penetrates food, attracted and absorbed by its water, fat

and sugar content.

The microwaves cause the molecules in the food to move rapidly. The rapid movement

of these molecules creates friction and the resulting heat cooks the food.

COOKING

Cookware for microwave cooking:

Cookware must allow microwave energy to pass through it for maximum efficiency.

Microwaves are reflected by metal, such as stainless steel, aluminium and copper, but

they can penetrate through ceramic, glass, porcelain and plastic as well as paper and

wood. So food must never be cooked in metal containers.

Food suitable for microwave cooking:

Many kinds of food are suitable for microwave cooking, including fresh or frozen

vegetables, fruit, pasta, rice, grains, beans, fish, and meat. Sauces, custard, soups,

steamed puddings, preserves, and chutneys can also be cooked in a microwave oven.

Generally speaking, microwave cooking is ideal for any food that would normally be

prepared on a hob. Melting butter or chocolate, for example (see the chapter with tips,

techniques and hints).

Covering during cooking

To cover the food during cooking is very important, as the evaporated water rises as

steam and contributes to cooking process. Food can be covered in different ways: e.g.

with a ceramic plate, plastic cover or microwave suitable cling film.

Standing times

After cooking is over, standing time for the food is important to allow the temperature to

even out within the food.

Cooking Guide for frozen vegetables

Use a suitable glass pyrex bowl with lid. Cook covered for the minimum time - see

table. Continue cooking to get the result you prefer.

Stir twice during cooking and once after cooking. Add salt, herbs or butter after

cooking. Cover during standing time.

Cooking Guide for rice and pasta

Rice

: Use a large glass pyrex bowl with lid - rice doubles in volume during

cooking. Cook covered.

After the cooking time is over, stir before standing time and add salt or

add herbs and butter.

Remark: the rice may not have absorbed all water after the cooking

time is finished.

Pasta

: Use a large glass pyrex bowl. Add boiling water, a pinch of salt and stir

well. Cook uncovered.

Stir occasionally during and after cooking. Cover during standing time

and drain thoroughly afterwards.
