MICROWAVE OVEN COOKING

1. Position evenly the food items in a covered dish. Add some liquid if necessary. Cover it with a lid or plastic wrap. Do not cover completely to let steam come out. The moist heat created will destroy harmful bacteria.

2. Better to cook large cuts of meat on medium power for longer periods than on high power. Heat reaches the center without overcooking outer areas.

3. Mix or rotate food midway through the microwaving time. Important because it eliminate cold spots where harmful bacteria can survive and for more even cooking.

4. When partially cooking food in the microwave oven to finish cooking on the grill or in a conventional oven, it is important to transfer the microwaved food to the other heat source immediately. Never partially cook food and store it for later use.

5.Use a food thermometer or the oven’s temperature probe to verify the food has reached a safe minimum internal temperature. Cooking times may vary because ovens vary in power and efficiency. Always allow standing time, which completes the cooking, before checking the internal temperature with a food thermometer.

MICROWAVE DEFROSTING

1. Remove food from the package before defrosting. Do not use foam trays and plastic wraps because they are not heat stable at high temperatures. Melting or warping may cause harmful chemicals to migrate into food.

2. Immediately, after defrosting meat and poultry in microwave oven, they should be cooked since some areas of the frozen food may begin to cook during the defrosting time
