COOKING TIPS

The following factors may affect the cooking result:

Food arrangement

Place thicker areas towards the outside of the dish, the thinner part towards the centre, and spread it evenly. Do not overlap if possible.

Cooking time length

Start cooking with a short time setting, evaluate it after it times out, and extend it according to actual need. Overcooking may result in smoke and burns.

Cooking food evenly

Food such as chicken, hamburger, or steak should be turned once during cooking.

Depending on the type of food, if applicable, stir it from outside to centre of dish once or twice during cooking.

Allow standing time

After cooking times out, leave the food in the oven for an adequate length of time. This allows it to complete its cooking cycle and cool down in a gradual manner.

Whether the food is done

Color and hardness of food help to determine if it is done. These include:

• Steam coming out from all parts of food, not just the edge
• Joints of poultry can be moved easily
• Pork or poultry shows no signs of blood.
• Fish is opaque and can be sliced easily with a fork.

Browning dish

When using a browning dish or self-heating container, always place a heat-resistant insulator such as a porcelain plate under it to prevent damage to the turntable and rotating ring.

Microwave safe plastic wrap

When cooking food with high fat content, do not allow the plastic wrap to come into contact with food as it may melt.

Microwave safe plastic cookware

Some microwave safe plastic cookware might not be suitable for cooking foods with high fat and sugar content. Also, the preheating time specified in the dish instruction manual must not be exceeded.
