Microwave Basics & Cooking Techniques:
We need to know the basic uses of microwave in today's trend of cooking
they are
mostly labeled microwave use, mostly every dishes can be use. Using stainless
steel and related foil products will burn and sparkle and break the circuit. So
it's best bet to ensure that they are microwave uses, not all plastic wares can
be use also, especially softer plastic containers. It's very handy to read the
manual instructions before proceeding, especially if it is your first
time. If you purchase a powerful one, I suggest to read the instruction
more broader and get use too, using and cooking by microwave, they will become
easier as you are learning to use and it will make your life easier.
Few techniques are the following:
 | You should always cover the food with lids or safe plastic wrap, this will
hold the steam and will help the food you're cooking to cook faster. |
| Cooking by covered plastic wrap, vent it as turn on one corner, to
allow to escape the excess steam. |
| To stir the food while cooking, do the hottest portion first, then outside in
the cooler center, as microwave energy intends to penetrate the edges of the
cooking food. |
| Food that can't be stirred needs rearranging to cook evenly, move the less
cooked food from the center of the dish. Cooking fish fillets, chicken
pieces, also muffins and individual dishes needs to be rearrange. |
| Any food that can't be stir and rearrange need to be turn. Always follow the
recipe instruction if they mention to turn the food while cooking in the
microwave. |
| It is necessary to turn over large pieces of food when you cook by microwave,
especially if you see them they are cooking faster on the bottom than the top
surface, particularly big hamburgers. |
| Not all the time you should follow the doneness of the ready made recipes for
microwave cooking, ( this depends on how high watts voltage you're using, so
some adjustment is needed) and to test if the food is done, scratch the surface
to see if the texture is cook has formed underneath, like ready made cakes and
muffins, they still look wet but not done. Some microwave ready foods look they
are cook, but need to be done more. |
