Different foodstuffsshould not be placed in layers on top of one another.■ Cook the food in ovenware with a lid. If you do not have asuitable lid for your ovenware, use a plate or specialmicrowave foil.■ This will help the food retain its own distinct taste, so it willrequire less seasoning.■ After cooking, allow the food to stand for a further 2 to5 minutes so that it can achieve an even temperature.■ Always use an oven cloth or oven gloves when removingplates from the oven.Microwave tipsCondensationCondensation may appear on the door window, interior wallsand floor.
