8 Microwave energy has been used in this country to cook and reheat food since early experiments with RADAR in World War II. Microwaves are present in the atmosphere all the time, both naturally and from manmade sources. Manmade sources include radar , radio, television, telecommunication links and car phones.
General Guidelines PIERCING The skin or membrane on some foods will cause steam to build up during cooking. These foods must be pierced or a strip of skin should be peeled off before cooking to allow the steam to escape. Eggs, potatoes, apples, sausages etc, will all need to be pierced before cooking.
10 DISH SIZE Follow the dish sizes given in the recipes, as these affect the cooking and reheating times. A quantity of food spread in a bigger dish cooks and reheats more quickly . QUANTITY Small quantities cook faster than large quantities, also small meals will reheat more quickly than large portions.
11 Containers to use When unsure that a cooking container is suitable for use in your microwave, check by the following test: 1. Fill a microwave safe measuring jug with 300ml ( 1 ⁄ 2 pt) cold water . 2. Place it on the turntable alongside the dish to be tested.
