COOKING INSTRUCTIONS ON FOOD PACKAGING
Microwave Symbols
On the front of your oven there is a microwave oven symbol, as
shown below.
This symbol has been introduced for your benet
when cooking or reheating packaged food.
Packaged food is also, increasingly, using a microwave
symbol similar to the one below. When you see this
Symbol on food packaging, cooking instructions are
based on either the IEC Power Output Rating, or the
Reheating Categories A, B, C, D or E.
COOKING INSTRUCTIONS
The IEC Power Output rating is an internationally standardised
rating, so all microwave manufacturers now use the same method of
measuring power output.
If food packaging gives cooking instructions based on IEC Power
ratings, set cooking times according to the IEC Power of your oven.
For example :
If the cooking instructions are based on a 650 W oven, then you will
need to reduce some cooking time for the ME73A (800 W).
Ready meals are now very convenient and popular. These are meals
which are already prepared and cooked by the food manufacturer,
and then frozen, chilled or vacuum sealed for long life.
Increasingly, heating times for such ready meals are being based on
the Heating Categories A, B, C, D and E.
On this instance, simply match the heating category of your oven to
the instructions on the food package, and set your timer accordingly.
For example :
If the heating instructions are 3 minutes on HIGH for a D category
oven, then you will need to set your timer for less than 3 minutes on
HIGH for the ME73A (E category).
IMPORTANT: Always remember that cooking instructions are intended
only as a guide. If you have followed the instructions and the food is
still not piping hot throughout, simply return it to the oven and cook
it until it is.
