Tip of the week

Cooking:

Round or oval containers will spread heat more evenly in a microwave oven than square, rectangular or odd shaped ones.
Health:
It's true. Chicken soup really does help to relieve the symptoms of a cold. The hot vapors help break up congestion, making it easier for you to breathe. Vegetable soup should also do the trick if you are a non-meat eater. Don't forget to drink plenty of fluids and avoid caffeinated beverages, which dehydrate the body.

Cookery term
Grilling:

Cooking food on a metal grate over a heat source (charcoal, gas or electric coil).


Cooking For Health: Tips on using a Microwave

*Food must be placed off-center as the microwave energy disperses more to the corners and side-walls.
*Ovenware treated for high-intensity heat such as bowls, cake dishes and also bags, film, paper towels, practically any material can be used except metal.
*This is an important factor to be noted. Dishes must be ½ or ¾ filled depending on the liquid content of the food.
