Factors that affect the cooking process
The temperature of the ingredients affects the cooking times. A cold meal will require
a longer cooking time than a meal that is already at room temperature.
Light, delicate foods cook more quickly than heavy, solid foods, such as stews
and rolled meats. Take care when cooking light, delicate foods. The edges quickly
become dry and tough.
Small pieces of food are heated more evenly if you place them separately in the
microwave, preferably in a circle.
Bones and fat conduct heat better than meat. Covering chicken legs and wings with
aluminium foil prevents burning these parts.
Microwaves penetrate food to a depth of about 3 cm. The centre of thick foods is
heated as a result of heat from the heated part (the outside) spreading to the inside.
Meat and poultry that is cooked in the microwave for more than about 15 minutes
becomes lightly browned. Any food cooked for a shorter time can be rubbed
beforehand with a ‘browning’ sauce, such as Worcestershire sauce, soya bean oil or
barbecue sauce.
Greaseproof paper prevents splattering. It also retains heat better.
Cooking vegetables
Use fresh vegetables if possible. If the vegetables have become limp because they
have been kept for too long, you can refresh them by soaking them in cold water for
a little while.
Use a large dish to cook vegetables, so the bottom of the dish is not covered by too
thick a layer.
Preferably cook vegetables with the water that clings to them.
Always cover the dish with a lid or microwave cling film.
Do not add salt. The salts naturally present in the vegetables usually provide enough
flavour. If you must add salt, do so after cooking.
Cook vegetables for as short a time as possible. Allow for them continuing to cook
after the microwave has been switched off.
Check whether the vegetables are done by pricking them with a fork or skewer.
Cooking fish
Fish should be cooked gradually. With thin fish, fatty fish or small portions, therefore,
set the power level to 30%. In other cases, you can safely set the power level a bit
higher. Allow, however, for the food continuing to cook after the microwave has been
switched off. Fish is done when the flesh has become opaque.
