800 W/HIGH Used for fast cooking or reheating (e.g. soup, casseroles, canned food, hot beverages, vegetables, fish).

560 W Used for longer cooking of dense foods such as roast joints, meat loaf and plated meals, also for sensitive dishes such as cheese sauce and sponge cakes. At this reduced setting, the sauce will not boil over and food will cook evenly without over cooking at the sides.

400 W For dense foods which require a long cooking time when cooked conventionally (e.g. beef dishes) it is advisable to use this power setting to ensure the meat will be tender.

240 W/DEFROST To defrost, select this power setting, to ensure that the dish defrosts evenly. This setting is also ideal for simmering rice, pasta, dumplings and cooking egg custard.

80 W For gentle defrosting (e.g. cream gateaux or pastry).

HINTS AND TIPS

Microwave safe cookware

Cookware Microwave	safe	Comments
Aluminium foil/containers	√/×	Small pieces of aluminium foil can be used to shield food from overheating. Keep foil at least 2 cm from the oven walls, as arcing may occur. Foil containers are not recommended unless specified by the manufacturer. Follow instructions carefully.
China and ceramics	√/×	Porcelain, pottery, glazed earthenware and bone china are usually suitable, except for those with metallic decoration.
Glasswaree.g. Pyrex®	√	Care should be taken if using fine glassware as it can break or crack if heated suddenly.
Metal	×	It is not recommended to use metal cookware when using microwave power as it will arc, which can lead to fire.
Plastic/polystyrenee.g. fast foodcontainers	√	Care must be taken as some containers warp, melt or discolour at high temperatures.
Freezer/roasting bags	√	Must be pierced to let steam escape. Ensure bags are suitable for microwave use. Do not use plastic or metal ties, as they may melt or catch fire due to the metal arcing.
Paper - plates, cupsand kitchen paper	√	Only use for warming or to absorb moisture. Care must be taken as overheating may cause fire.
Straw and woodencontainers	√	Always attend the oven when using these materials as overheating may cause fire.
Recycled paper andnewspaper	×	May contain extracts of metal which will cause arcing and may lead to fire.

Microwave cooking advice

Microwave cooking advice
Composition Foods	high in fat or sugar (e.g. Christmas pudding, mince pies) require less heating time. Care should be taken as overheating can lead to fire.
Size For even cooking make all the pieces the same size.
Temperature of food	The initial temperature of food affects the amount of cooking time needed. Cut into foods with fillings (e.g. jam doughnuts) to release heat or steam.
Arrange Place the thickest parts of food towards the outside of the dish (e.g. chicken drumsticks).
Cover Use vented microwave cling film or a suitable lid.
Pierce Foods with a shell, skin or membrane must be pierced in several places before cooking or reheating as steam will build up and may cause food to explode (e.g. potatoes, fish, chicken, sausages).IMPORTANT! Eggs should not be heated using microwave power as they may explode, even after cooking has ended (e.g. poached, hard boiled).
Stir, turn and rearrange	For even cooking it is essential to stir, turn and rearrange food during cooking. Always stir and rearrange from the outside towards the centre.
Stand Standing time	is necessary after cooking to enable the heat to disperse equally throughout the food.
Shield Warm areas	can be shielded with small pieces of foil, which reflect microwaves (e.g. legs and wings on a chicken).

Use pot holders or oven gloves when removing food from the oven to prevent burns. Always open containers, popcorn makers, oven cooking bags, etc., away from the face and hands to avoid steam burns. Always stand back from the oven door when opening to avoid burns from escaping steam and heat. Slice stuffed baked foods after heating to release steam and avoid burns.
