MICROWAVE COOKING GUIDE INTRODUCTION The advantages of a microwave oven A microwave oven is most useful for its speed in cooking. Speedy cooking of meals can be very helpful in some busy families. Microwave cooking roughly takes about one third to one quarter of the conventional cooking time. Of course this varies according to the density, temperature and the amount of food being cooked.
The theory of microwave cooking When the microwave oven is plugged in. the ordinary electrical current is converted to microwaves by a tube called a magnetron. The microwaves are of very short wave length and high frequency The waves are then channelled into the cavity of the oven. Distribution of microwaves is evenly done by a stirring fan installed in the oven. The oven walls will reflect the microwave energy directly to the food, causing its molecules to vibrate at an incredibly high speed.
MICROWAVE COOKING UTENSILS You can test your cooking utensils to see whether they are microproof or not. Do this simple test. Put a glass half full of water in the microwave oven. Place it on top of or next to the dish. Microwave for one minute at full power. If the water becomes hot, the dish is microwave-safe.
SAFETY RULES FOR MICROWAVE COOKING 1. If cling-film or plastic wrap is used to cover food, turn back one corner to vent, thus preventing burns from the steam trapped underneath. Be careful when removing cover to avoid scalding from hot steam. 2. Always use oven gloves when handling browning dishes. Cooking utensils may sometimes become hot because of the heat transferred from the heated food. 3. Do not turn on the oven when it is not in use, to avoid damage to the oven and the danger of fire. 4.
Cooking time varies according to the temperature of the food. Food that is taken straight from the refrigerator takes longer to cook than food at room temperature and room temperature can vary too. Dense food will take longer to cook than porous food, because microwaves cannot penetrate deep into dense food. so the deeper part of food is heated and cooked by the conduction of heat from the outer surface.
Sheilding The thinner ends of joints of meat, or fish or the tips of poultry wings or legs can be shielded with small pieces of aluminium foil, to reflect microwaves away from these areas, to prevent them from cooking too quickly. The foil must never touch the walls of the oven. Covering Covering of food retains moisture and prevents splashing in a microwave oven. If you wish to develop a drier surface, do not cover or use only a paper towel.
Browning Food that requires more than 15 minutes cooking time will brown naturally. The fat in meat attracts microwaves. Food that cooks quickly, such as steaks, chops, hamburgers, can be browned by using a few drops of soy sauce. Quick bread and cakes do not brown, because there is no hot air in the oven to dry out the surface; therefore icing or toppings of cinnamon. sugar, coconut, chopped nuts, and soft brown sugar are recommended to add eye appeal.

DEFROSTING Rapid defrosting of food is one of the great advantages of the microwave oven. Before starting, make sure that you have removed any of the metal twist-ties which often come with frozen food bags, and replace them with strings or elastic bands. Containers such as cartons should be opened before they are placed in the oven. Always slit or pierce plastic pouches or packaging. If food is foil wrapped, remove foil and place it in a suitable container. Slit the skins of frozen food if any.
DEFROSTING CHART Food Recommended Time Suggestions MEAT 1 pack bacon Frankfurters Spare-ribs Ground meat 3-5 minutes 3-5 minutes per lb (454g) 7-8 minutes per lb (454g) 8-11 minutes per lb (454g) Leave packages unopened when defrosting. Microwave till foods can be separated. Turn over after half of defrosting time. Roast Beef Pork Lamb 6-8 minutes per lb (454g) 10-13 minutes per lb (454g) 10-12 minutes per lb (454g) Unwrap roast and place in cooking dish.
Food Recommended Time Suggestions FISH AND SEAFOOD 1lb (454g) fillets 8-10 minutes Leave package unopened when defrosting. Stand in cold water to separate. 2-3 minutes 4-6 minutes No mainpulation Place fish in cooking dish. Turn over once half way through defrosting time. Rinse cavity of fish with cold water. 6-8 minutes Break-up after half of defrosting time. 6-8 minutes No manipulation 16-18 minutes Turn over after half of defrosting time.
RE-HEATING Cooked food and leftovers can be reheated quickly and efficiently without spoiling their freshness and taste. Always place the dense food at the outer edges and the more porous food towards the centre. To retain moisture during re-heating, cover the food with a microproof lid or plastic wrap, because covering the food retains heat and speeds heating. It also prevents spatters. For sandwiches and rolls, wrap them in paper towels loosely to absorb moisture and prevent sogginess.
