Microwave cooking techniques

1. The timing is of utmost importance when cooking in a microwave as it depends on the quantity, starting temperature & type of food to be cooked.
2. Covering food with a lid or a special microwave cling film retains the steam and moisture.
3. A loose cover will prevent splattering of food on the oven walls.
4. Glass covers prove useful when food does not need much moisture.
5. Paper towels come in handy if you wish to keep a certain food item dry.
