FOOD HANDLING & PREPARATION (Continued) Composition & quality Piercing Food high in fat or sugar (Christmas pudding, mince pies) requires less heating time and should be watched, over-heating can lead to fire. Use good quality ingredients for microwaving. Economical cuts of meat can be used for casseroles. Food with skin (e.g. potatoes, apples, fish, sausages, chicken), or with membrane (e.g egg whites/yolks), must be pierced in several places before cooking or reheating.
ADVICE FOR DEFROSTING Meat joints Poultry Place in a flan dish, turn over at least 4-5 times during defrosting, shield any warm areas with small, flat pieces of foil. After defrosting, wrap in foil and allow meat to stand for 45-90 minutes, until thoroughly defrosted.

After defrosting, wrap in foil and allow poultry to stand for 45-90 minutes, until thoroughly defrosted.
ADVICE FOR REHEATING WARNINGS: Oil & Fat: Never heat oil or fat for deep frying as this may lead to overheating and fire. Stand back when opening the oven door to allow heat or steam to disperse. When removing covers (such as cling-film), opening roasting bags or popcorn packaging, direct steam away from face and hands. Never heat liquids in narrow-necked containers, as this could result in the contents erupting from the container and may cause burns.
CLEANING & MAINTENANCE OVEN INTERIOR Clean the microwave oven cavity after each use with a mild detergent solution on a soft cloth, pay special attention to the waveguide cover. WARNING Ensure all food splashes are wiped off immediately after use, otherwise it is possible that any food deposits will become baked onto the rear of the oven cavity resulting in staining of the polished surface, which may then be impossible to remove.
