MICROWAVES When preparing ready-to-serve food (like TV dinners) always carefully follow the
instructions provided by the food manufacturer on the package and also the tips and
a n d O V E N guidelines contained at the end of this manual.
CAUTION : Always set short cooking times and check the food frequently.
If the recommended cooking times are exceeded the food, especially oil
or fat, will be spoiled and in extreme circumstances could catch fire.

Cooking with microwaves differs in some aspects from normal cooking. The guidelines
APPENDIX and tips below will help you get better results using a microwave oven.
Defrosting
◆ Defrosting is faster in flatter dishes than in higher dishes.
◆ Divide large pieces of food into smaller pieces for faster defrosting.
◆ Cover the smaller pieces when they start to warm up.
◆ Do not defrost completely under power, let the food stand for a
while.
Amount
To warm up more food you need more time. Rule of thumb:
double the food, double the time (almost).
3/4
Initial temperature
The colder the food, the more time is needed.
Different foods
When cooking a meal with various ingredients remember that fat and
sugar heat up faster than water.
This means that ingredients with higher fat and sugar contents will
have higher temperatures after cooking than those containing water.
The more dense a food, the longer it takes to cook/defrost. Very dense
foods, like meat, take much longer to warm up than say sponge cake.
Microwave heating of beverages can result in delayed eruptive boilling,
therefore care has to be taken when handling the container.
12
APPENDIX
Skins, peels, shells ...
Some foods have a skin or peel or a shell (eggs, potatoes, apples, liver, sausages).
Puncture the skin or peel with for example a fork to allow steam to escape and the food to
expand - this releases pressure and prevents the food from bursting.
Water
Cooking in a microwave needs very little water. For 100 g of vegetables or potatoes,
use 1 tablespoon of water.
Covering food
Food can be covered with foils or tops which let microwave through in order
◆ to prevent splashing
◆ to shorten the cooking time and/or
◆ to retain any natural moisture in the food (➝ Microwave suitable dishes and utensils).
13
◆ For more information read the first chapter and the appendix.
This should answer most of your questions.
◆ If you cannot solve your problem, ask a qualified service technician.
14
APPENDIX
Microwave suitable dishes and utensils
Microwave suitable dishes are transparent to microwaves (i.e. made of such materials as
plastic, glass and ceramics), especially when also fireproof. Suitable dishes only become
slightly warm after one minute microwave cooking at high power.
Dishes unsuitable for microwave ovens are all metal dishes which reflect microwaves.
Also unsuitable for microwaves are dishes made of lead glass, dishes with metal applications
(gold edged), paper or plastic containers which cannot withstand high temperatures (120° C).
Best cooking results are achieved if not only the material but also the shape of the dish is
suitable.
Round dishes promote more even heating, whereas in square or rectangular dishes the food
can easily dry out or char in the corners.
Food in flat dishes will cook more evenly.
Small pieces of aluminium foil are good for covering any vulnerable sections (e.g. the thin flat
tail end of a fish).
