MICROWAVING
Introduction:
Water, sugar and fat in food absorb microwaves
which causes them to vibrate.  This creates heat by
friction, in the same way your hands get warm when
you rub them together.
Outer areas of food are heated by microwave energy,
and remaining portions by conduction.  It is, therefore,
important to turnrearrange or stir food to ensure
even heating.  Where recommended allow food to
stand.  This is not optional but necessary to ensure
thorough cooking and is particularly important for
dense food, such as joints of meat.
Microwaves pass through non-metallic dishes and
utensils and heat the food inside the dishes.
Microwaves are reflected by metal.  The oven is lined
with metal and has a fine metallic mesh in the door to
prevent microwave leakage. Metallic dishes are not
suitable for microwaving. Only use utensils that are
suitable for microwave ovens.
(See suitable cookware, pages 13 - 14).
