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

eciency. 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

dierent ways: e.g. with a ceramic plate, plastic cover or microwave suitable

cling ﬁlm.

Standing times

After cooking is over food the standing time 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.
