[. . . ] When removing covers (such as cling film), opening roasting bags or popcorn packaging, direct steam away from face and hands. Stir, turn & stand For even cooking stir, turn or rearrange food during cooking. Where recommended, leave food to stand after cooking or defrosting. Initial and final temperature of food The initial temperature of food affects the amount of cooking time needed, eg. The temperature of the container is not a true indication of the temperature of the food or drink. Cut into foods with fillings, for example, jam doughnuts, to release heat or steam. Check the temperature of food and drink and stir before serving. The contents of feeding bottles and baby food jars are to be stirred or shaken and the temperature is to be checked before consumption to avoid burns. Composition & quality Food high in fat or sugar (Christmas pudding or mince pies) requires less heating time and should be watched, over-heating can lead to fire. Economical cuts of meat are recommended for casserole. 32 R-393M O/M & C/B 08/06/2000 16:07 Page 33 FOOD HANDLING AND PREPARATION Piercing Food with skin (such as potatoes, apples, fish, chicken), or with membrane (such as the white and yolk of eggs, including boiled eggs), must be pierced in several places before cooking or reheating. Note: Eggs in their shells and whole hard boiled eggs should not be heated in the microwave ovens since they may explode even after microwaving has ended. Arrangement Place thickest parts of food on the outside of the dish, for example, the meaty ends of chicken drumsticks should be placed on the outside of the dish. Covering Fish, vegetables and certain other foods benefit from being covered during microwave cookery, follow recommendations where given and use vented microwave cling film or a suitable lid. Size & shape Food size and shape affect the amount of cooking time needed. When cooking more than one portion of the same food ensure they are of a similar size and shape. Density & Food density and quantity affect the amount of cooking time quantity needed, for example, potatoes require more cooking than peas; four potatoes will take longer to cook than two. Hygiene Food hygiene standards (storage, handling and preparation) apply to microwaving. Always store convenience foods as recommended by the food manufacturer and keep no longer than the "Use By" date. ADVICE FOR COOKING WARNING - Always attend the oven when in use. If you exceed recommended cooking times and/or use power levels that are too high, food may overheat, burn, and in extreme circumstances, catch fire and damage the oven. The microwave power level will default to 100% unless you press the POWER LEVEL key to reach the desired setting. Take care when heating foods with high sugar or fat content, for example, Christmas pudding, mince pies and fruit cakes. Before use, the user should check that utensils are suitable for use in microwave ovens. Lids: Always remove lids from food jars and containers before you use them in the oven. If you do not, steam and pressure will build up inside and the container may explode.
