How To Microwave Safely

Food And Drink : Great Food Tips

Many people love using microwaves, as the food is of course very quick and convenient to cook.

However sometimes there will be so called cold spots, where the waves don't heat the food.

To help to avoid this, you should be sure to use the instructions as a guide only, and usually adding 30 seconds on is sensible if food is coming straight out of the fridge before being cooked.

Also, be sure to cover the food when cooking. This means that steam can build up which will help ensure that it is heated evenly in the microwave.

Finally, if you are warming meat up in the microwave then be sure that any bones are removed first. The reason for this is simple: the bones can shield against the microwave waves and make them less effective and therefore less likely and more time consuming to heat the food up.
