6. Microwaves penetrate food only to a depth of 4 cm 1 7 inches so the dense food items are best left to stand for a short period of time once the microwave cooking is complete This ensures the heat inside the food will penetrate to the centre and ensure it is completely cooked Standing time can take place either on the kitchen surface or in the microwave with the power off The food is covered often with foil and left so the heat can transfer evenly throughout the food The denser the food the longer the standing time Shape of Food Always aim for uniform shapes to aid the even cooking of food This is especially relevant when cooking joints of meat and it is advisable to bone and roll joints such as legs of lamb before cooking Covering There are several types of covering and they are all used for different purposes Plastic film or glass lids help to hold in steam and therefore retain moisture so the food can cook more quickly Paper towels or napkins are loose covers used to prevent spitting and also to absorb moisture Wax paper is also a loose cover which holds in some of the moisture and therefore speeds up the cooking time Cookware The range of cooking utensils that can be used in the microwave is wide There are many excellent varieties of cookware specially manufactured for use in the microwave freezer also much of the conventional kitchen equipment is quite suitable The basic rule to remember is not use anythin
