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.

• 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. 

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 fi re and damage the oven.

Liquids and foods must not be heated in sealed containers or jars/containers with lids on, as 
pressure will build up inside and may cause the jar/container to explode.

• Only use microwave popcorn within the recommended packaging (follow the 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.

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 so it enables the heat to disperse 
equally throughout the food.
