Cooking food Fish and seafood Fish fillets Shrimp, medium size shelled and cleaned Whole fish unstuffed Always cook food in covered dishes. You should stir or turn the food during cooking. The individual taste of the food is retained to a large degree. You can therefore use less salt and spices. Food that is laid flat heats up quicker than if it is piled high. Therefore, it is best to spread out the food so that it lies flat in the container. If possible, you should not place layers of food on top of each other. Once you have cooked the meals, leave them to stand for another 2 to 5 minutes so that the temperature can stabilize. Clean fish before starting the recipe. Arrange fish in a single layer; do not overlap edges. Place thicker pieces towards the outside edge of the dish. Shrimp and scallops should be placed in a single layer. Place the dish on the turntable. Cover the dish with plastic wrap. Cook on the power level and for the minimum time recommended in the chart. Halfway through cooking, rearrange, stir shrimp or scallops, and turn fish fillets over. Let stand, covered, 5 minutes. Test for doneness before adding extra cooking time. Fish and seafood should be opaque in color and fish should flake when tested with a fork. If undercooked, return to the oven and continue to cook for 30 Ć 60 seconds.
