~
Always ensure that food is
sufficiently heated.
Many factors will affect the
overall cooking time, including
the type, amount and nature of
the food, its initial temperature,
and changes to the recipe.
Some foods may contain micro-
organisms which are only
destroyed by thorough cooking.
Therefore, when cooking or
reheating food, it is particularly
important that food is heated at
adequate temperatures for a
sufficient amount of time. When
in doubt, select a longer cooking
or reheating time.
~
It is important that enough
heat is allowed to spread evenly
throughout the food being
cooked.
This can be achieved by stirring
and/or turning the food, and by
observing a sufficiently long
standing time, which should be
added to the time needed for
cooking, reheating or defrosting.
Standing times are "resting"
times in which the heat is
uniformly distributed in the food.
~
Always remember that times
for cooking, reheating and
defrosting in a microwave oven
are usually considerably shorter
than in the case of traditional
methods of food preparation.
Excessively long cooking times
can lead to food drying out and
burning, or may even cause it to
catch fire.
Do not dry bread, rolls, flowers,
herbs, etc., in the microwave
oven as these could also catch
fire.
~
Do not use the microwave
oven to heat up pads or
cushions filled with cherry pits,
wheat grains, lavender or gel,
such as those used in
aromatherapy. These pads can
ignite when heated even after
they have been removed from
the appliance.
~
The microwave oven is not
suitable for cleaning or
disinfecting items.
Items can get extremely hot and
there is a danger of burning
when the item is removed from
the appliance. Fire hazard!
