HE MORE FOOD YOU WANT TO COOK
takes. A rule of thumb is that double amount
of food requires almost double the time.
T
HE LOWER STARTING TEMPERATURE
ing time is required. Food at room tem-
perature cooks faster than food taken di-
rectly from the refrigerator.

place them in a ring pattern for uniform
cooking.
S
OME FOODS ARE COVERED BY A SKIN OR MEMBRANE
potatoes, apples and egg yolks. These food
should be pricked with a fork or cocktail stick
to relieve the pressure and to prevent bursting.

MALLER PIECES OF FOOD WILL COOK FASTER
er pieces and uniform pieces of food cook
more evenly than irregularly shaped foods.

TIRRING AND TURNING OF FOOD ARE
used in conventional cooking as well as in mi-
crowave cooking to distribute the heat quick-
ly to the center of the dish and avoids over-
cooking at the outer edges of the food.
W
HEN COOKING FOOD OF UNEVEN SHAPE
thickness, place the thinner area of
food towards the center of the dish,
where it will be heated last.
F
OOD WITH LOT OF FAT AND SUGAR
cooked faster than food containing a lot
e.g.
of water. Fat and sugar will also reach a higher
temperature than water.
A
LWAYS ALLOW THE FOOD TO STAND
after cooking. Standing time always improves
the result since the temperature will then be
evenly distributed throughout the food.
