• Cover food while cooking: covering the food you are going to cook avoids spattering and allows for a more even cooking.
  – Turn or stir food 1 time during the cooking process (e.g., hamburgers or steaks).
• Follow the recommended pre-heating time. Pre-heating time specified on the food label must not be exceeded.
• Switch the food in the middle of the process, e.g., place the meatballs first on top and then on the bottom, and the meatballs on the outside to the inside and vice versa.
• The use of round or oval plates is recommended rather than square plates, as the food in corners tends to overcook.
• It is important to use materials and containers which are suitable and safe for microwave cooking. The table below shows which materials are suitable and which are not:
