Helpful hints and tips
Microwave hints
• Always keep the oven clean - avoid spill-
overs and do not forget to clean under the
glass tray and the inside of the door.
• Preferably use round or oval casseroles
with a lid when cooking in your microwave
oven.
• Do not use metal or metal decorated cas-
seroles. Certain plastic materials can melt
and be warped by hot food.
• Cover the food when cooking. Use a glass
lid, a plate or grease proof paper.
• Pastry, bread and the like can be defrosted
directly in a bread basket or on a paper
towel.
• If frozen food is heated in its packaging,
the packaging should be opened. Pack-
aging containing metal or metal decoration
must not be used unless specifically rec-
ommended for use in the microwave. Re-
move metal clips and wire ties.
• Smaller pieces of aluminium foil can be
used to cover parts that easily over cook
such as chicken legs.
• Food with peel or skin should be pierced
with a fork - e.g. potatoes and sausages.
Do not boil eggs in the microwave oven as
they can explode.
• Put large, thick pieces close to the edge of
the casserole and try to cut the food in to
even sized pieces. Always place the food
in the centre of the oven.
• The food will be evenly cooked if you stir
or turn it a few times.
• Always set a shorter cooking time than in-
dicated in your recipe to avoid over cook-
ing. The larger the amount of food the lon-
ger it takes.
• Use little or no water for vegetables.

Microwave tips
• Softening Honey
If you have a jar of honey which has crys-
tallised, remove lid and place the jar in the
oven, microwave on medium power for 2
minutes.

Break 100g of chocolate into squares,
place in a bowl and heat on high power for
1-2 minutes and stir well.

Heat 3 or 4 cloves of garlic on high power
for 15 seconds. Squeeze at one end until
the clove pops out.

Citrus fruits will yield more juice if they are
heated on high power for 15 seconds be-
fore squeezing.
