Cooking Techniques
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.

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.

Food Characteristics
Foods high in fat or sugar (e.g. Christmas pudding, mince pies) require less
heating time. Care should be taken as overheating can lead to fire.
Bones in food conduct heat, making the food cook more quickly. Care must be
taken so that the food is cooked evenly.

Food density will affect the amount of cooking time needed.
Light, porous foods, such as cakes or bread, cook more quickly than heavy,
dense foods, such as roasts and casseroles.

The number of microwaves in your oven remains the same regardless of
how much food is being cooked.The cooking time must be increased as the
amount of food placed in the oven increases.
e.g. Four potatoes will take longer to cook than two.

The initial temperature of food affects the amount of cooking time needed.
Chilled foods will take longer to cook than food at room temperature.
e.g. A cake made with chilled ingredients, (i.e. margarine) will take longer to
cook than a cake made with ingredients at room temperature.
The temperature of the container is not a true indication of the temperature
of the food or drink. Cut into foods with fillings, for example jam doughnuts,
to release heat or steam.
