- shield the exposed bone with foil.
- Place chicken pieces on a shallow dish.
- turn over the food in the middle course. And then rearrange and shield the defrosted portions.
- Close the door to continue defrosting.
- After defrost time, stand covered with aluminum foil for 5-30 minutes.
Cooking Tips
1) Arrange food carefully, place thickest areas toward outside of dish.
2) Watch cooking time, cook for the shortest amount of time indicated and add more time as needed.
3) Cover foods before cooking
check recipe for suggestions: paper towels, microwave plastic wrap or a lid.
Covers prevent spattering and help foods to cook evenly. (Helps keep oven clean).
4) Shield foods
Use small pieces of aluminum foil to cover thin areas of meats or poultry to avoid overcooking.
5) Stir foods
From outside to center of dish once or twice during cooking, if possible.
6) Turn foods
Foods such as chicken, hamburgers or steaks should be turned over once during cooking.
7) Rearrange foods
Like meatballs halfway through cooking both from top to bottom and from the center of the dish
to the outside.
8) Allow standing time
Heated liquid or beverage may result in delayed eruptive boiling. After cooking ensure adequate
standing time.
Remove food from oven and stir if possible.
Cover for standing time which allows the food to finish cooking without overcooking.
8) Check for doneness
Look for signs indicating that cooking temperature has been reached. Doneness signs include:
-Food steams throughout, not just at edge.
-Poultry thigh joints move easily.
-Pork and poultry show no pinkness..
-Fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
9) Condensation
A normal part of microwave cooking. The humidity and moisture in food will influence the amount of
moisture in the oven. Generally, covered foods will not cause as much condensation as uncovered
foods. Ensure that the ventilation openings are not blocked.
10) Browning dish
when using a browning dish or self-heating material, always place a heat-resistant insulator such as
a porcelain plate under it to prevent damage to the turntable, rotating ring due to heat stress. The
preheating time specified in the dishes instructions must not be exceeded.
11) Microwave safe plastic wrap
for cooking food with high fat content, do not bring the wrap in contact with the food as it may melt.
12) Microwave safe plastic cookware
Some microwave safe plastic cookware are not suitable for cooking foods with high fat and
sugar content.
13) Liquid and similar food must not be cooked in sealed containers since they are liable to explode.
