Ramtons Microwave - Tips To Use Your Microwave

A must-have in every modern kitchen, the microwave oven helps you cook, bake, roast, grill and toast. This saves time while preserving the nutrient and water content of the food. Cooking in a microwave oven is not like any conventional cooking. Microwave ovens are very handy, especially when you are in a hurry. They heat food quickly; in half the time of a conventional oven, and they can also be used for melting.

Tips for using the microwave

Be careful of what you put in the microwave

Metal cookware tends to ignite and spark and cause a fire. Always remove aluminum foil or any seal before reheating food in the microwave. Do not use paper cups or utensils that can be used for cooking and heating.

Don’t crowd the microwave

Different foods are heated in different ways. Denser foods heat differently than foods made with more liquid. Liquid heats up much faster, but loses heat faster. Placing multiple foods in the microwave can disrupt the cooking process.

Stir food occasionally

Microwave ovens have a turntable to ensure food is heated evenly. Even so, not all parts are fully heated. You need to mix the food to evenly distribute the heat. Open the microwave regularly and reheat the food well to make sure it heats up properly all the time.

Clean your microwave often

Do not clean the inside of the microwave oven with large amounts of water. To clean the appliance, dampen a handkerchief and soak it with mild soap and then clean the microwave. Wipe the microwave with a dry cloth and leave it uncovered for at least an hour to avoid the smell of soapy water. You should always cover the food while cooking it in the microwave, even if it is only with a paper towel, to prevent the food from splashing inside the microwave.
