Microwaves cook food faster than conventional 
cooking. It is therefore essential that certain 
techniques are followed to ensure good results.

Many of the following techniques are similar to 
those used in conventional cooking.

WARNING:
Follow instructions in the SHARP operation manual at all times.
If you exceed recommended cooking times and use power levels that are too high, food may 
overheat, burn and in extreme circumstances, catch fire and damage the oven.

COOKING ADVICE NOTES:
• 

• 

•  Refer to the charts in the cookbook section for 

recommended cooking times and power levels.

•  Do not place hot foods/utensils on a cold 

turntable or cold foods/utensils on a hot 
turntable. 

• 

•  Only use microwave popcorn within the 

re c o m m e n d e d   p a c k a g i n g   ( fo l l ow   t h e 
manufacturers instructions). Never use oil 
unless specified by the manufacturer and never 
cook for longer than instructed.

Place the thickest parts of food towards the  outside of the dish.
e.g. Chicken drumsticks. 
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. Potatoes, Fish, 
Chicken, Sausages.
NOTE:  Eggs in their shells and hard / soft boiled eggs should not be 

For even cooking it is essential to stir, turn and rearrange food during cooking. 
Always stir and rearrange from the outside towards the centre.

Standing time is necessary after cooking as it enables the heat to disperse equally 
throughout the food.
