Everything you have learnt as a conventional cook needs to be put to one side and a new feel for cookery needs to be developed.Microwave cooking times vary depending on the temperature of the food when it goes into the oven, whether the oven has been used to cook a number of foods in succession, the material of the cooking vessel and sometimes even the time of day. All cooking times are a guide only, not an absolute rule. It is better to remember to choose the lowest time given in a microwave recipe, as it is simple to add to the cooking time. There is no turning back if you overcook a food and in the microwave it happens so quickly. The words used to describe different power levels vary depending on the oven brand. This is why for all power levels we have included the percentage of power used. Look in your oven manual and you will find an explanation of what each power level is called for your oven. When trying a new recipe, slightly undercook the food then add extra time if necessary. Turning food during cooking ensures it cooks evenly. This is often only necessary if your microwave tends to cook unevenly – however, we have included turning instructions where they are important to the success of a recipe. USING THIS BOOK
