§ Mr. Matthew TaylorTo ask the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food if he will make a statement on the use of microwaves for primary heating of food products.
§ Mr. MacleanThe question presumably refers to the use of microwave ovens to cook food from raw. Each microwave oven manufacturer provides instructions on how best to do this using his particular oven. The user should of course check that the food is thoroughly cooked in the same way as is necessary with any other cooking method.
