[. . . ] Cooking Techniques Arrange Place the thickest parts of food towards the outside of the dish, e. g. Foods that are placed towards the outside of the dish will receive more energy, so cook quicker, than those in the centre. Certain foods benefit from being covered during microwave cooking, follow recommendations where given. Use vented microwave cling film or a suitable lid. Foods with a shell, skin or membrane must be pierced in several places before cooking or reheating as steam will build up and may cause food to explode, e. g. NOTE: Eggs in their shells and hard / soft boiled eggs should not be heated in the microwave oven as they may explode, even after cooking has ended. Cover Pierce Stir, turn and rearrange Stand For even cooking it is essential to stir, turn and rearrange food during cooking. Always stir and rearrange from the outside towards the centre.

Keep foil at least 2cm from the oven walls, as arcing may occur. Foil containers are not recommended unless specified by the manufacturer, e. g. Microfoil ®, follow instructions carefully. Always follow the manufacturers instructions. Be very careful as these dishes become very hot.
