.COOKING TIPS…………………………………………。……………..……..

The following factors may affect the cooking result:

Food arrangement

Place thicker areas towards outside of dish, the thinner part

towards the centre and spread it evenly. Do not overlap if

possible.

Cooking time length

Start cooking with a short time setting, evaluate it after it times

out and extend it according to the actual need. Over cooking

may result in smoke and burns.

Cooking food evenly

Food such as chicken, hamburger or steak should be turned

once during cooking.

Depending on the type of food, if applicable, stir it from outside

to centre of dish once or twice during cooking

Allow standing time

After cooking times out, leave the food in the oven for an

adequate length of time, this allows it to complete its cooking

cycle and cooling it down in a gradual manner

Whether the food is done

Color and hardness of food help to determine if it is done,

these include:

- Steam coming out from all parts of food, not just the edge

- Joints of poultry can be moved easily

- Pork or poultry shows no signs of blood

- Fish is opaque and can be sliced easily with a fork

Browning dish

When using a browning dish or self-heating container, always

place a heat-resistant insulator such as a porcelain plate under

it to prevent damage to the turntable and rotating ring.

Microwave safe plastic wrap

When cooking food with high fat content, do not allow the

plastic wrap come into contact with food as it may melt.

15

Microwave safe plastic cookware

Some microwave safe plastic cookware might not be suitable

for cooking foods with high fat and sugar content. Also, the

preheating time specified in the dish instruction manual must

not be exceeded.
