Cling Film
Cling film helps keep the food moist
and the trapped steam assists
in speeding up cooking times.
However it should be pierced before
cooking, to allow excess steam to
escape. Always take care when
removing cling film from a dish as
the build-up of steam will be very
hot. Always purchase cling film that
states on the packet “suitable for
microwave cooking” and use as a
covering only. Do not line dishes
with cling film. Do not cover foods
when cooking by Grill, Oven or
Combination.
Dish Size
Follow the dish sizes given in the
recipes, as these affect the cooking
and reheating times. A quantity of
food spread in a bigger dish cooks
and reheats more quickly.
General Guidelines
Quantity
Small quantities cook faster than
large quantities, also small meals
will reheat more quickly than large
portions.
Spacing
Foods cook more quickly and
evenly if spaced apart. Never pile
foods on top of each other.
Shape
Even shapes cook evenly. Food
cooks better by microwave when
in a round container rather than
square.
Density
Porous airy foods heat more quickly
than dense heavy foods.
Covering
Cover foods with microwave cling
film or a self-fitting lid. Cover fish,
vegetables, casseroles, soups. Do
not cover cakes, sauces, jacket
potatoes, pastry items. Please refer
to cooking charts and recipes for
more information.
