Microwaves
Microwave energy actually penetrates food, 
attracted and absorbed by its water, fat and 
sugar content.
The microwaves cause the molecules in the 
food to move rapidly. The rapid movement 
of these molecules creates friction and the 
resulting heat cooks the food.
Cooking
Cookware for microwave cooking:
Cookware must allow microwave energy 
to pass through it for maximum efficiency. 
Microwaves are reflected by metal, such as 
stainless steel, aluminium and copper, but 
they can penetrate through ceramic, glass, 
porcelain and plastic as well as paper and 
wood. So food must never be cooked in 
metal containers.
Food suitable for microwave cooking:
Many kinds of food are suitable for 
microwave cooking, including fresh or 
frozen vegetables, fruit, pasta, rice, grains, 
beans, fish, and meat. Sauces, custard, soups, 
steamed puddings, preserves, and chutneys 
can also be cooked in a microwave oven. 
Generally speaking, microwave cooking 
is ideal for any food that would normally 
be prepared on a hob. Melting butter or 
chocolate, for example (see the chapter with 
tips, techniques and hints).

Covering during cooking
To cover the food during cooking is very 
important, as the evaporated water rises as 
steam and contributes to cooking process. 
Food can be covered in different ways: 
e.g. with a ceramic plate, plastic cover or 
microwave suitable cling film.
Standing times
After cooking is over food the standing time 
is important to allow the temperature to 
even out within the food.
