HOW A MICROWAVE OVEN WORKS

Microwaves are high-frequency electromagnetic waves; the energy released enables food to be cooked or reheated without changing either the form or the colour.

You can use your microwave oven to:

Cooking principle.

The microwaves generated by the magnetron reflected at cavity and are distributed uniformly as the food rotates on the turntable. The food is thus cooked evenly.

The microwaves are absorbed by the food up to a depth of about 1 inch (2.5 cm). Cooking then continues as the heat is dissipated within the food.

Cooking times vary according to the container used and the properties of the food:

• Quantity and density

• Water content

• Initial temperature (refrigerated or not)

As the centre of the food is cooked by heat dissipation. cooking continues even when you have taken the food out of the oven. Standing times specified in recipes and in this booklet must therefore be respected to ensure:

• Even cooking of the food right to the centre

• The same temperature throughout the food.

Steam cooker

Purpose: The plastic steam cooker when using power steam function.

DO NOT operate the microwave oven without the roller ring and turntable.

DO NOT operate the Grill. Convection and Combi mode with Steam cooker.

MICROWAVES

Microwave energy actually penetrates food. attracted and absorbed by its water. fat and sugar content.

The microwaves cause the molecules in the food to move rapidly. The rapid movement of these molecules creates friction and the resulting heat cooks the food.

COOKING

Cookware for microwave cooking: Cookware must allow microwave energy to pass through it for maximum efficiency.

Microwaves are reflected by metal. such as stainless steel. aluminium and copper. but they can penetrate through ceramic. glass. porcelain and plastic as well as paper and wood. So food must never be cooked in metal containers.

Food suitable for microwave cooking: Many kinds of food are suitable for microwave cooking. including fresh or frozen vegetables. fruit. pasta. rice. grains. beans. fish. and meat. Sauces. custard. soups. steamed puddings. preserves. and chutneys can also be cooked in a microwave oven.

Generally speaking. microwave cooking is ideal for any food that would normally be prepared on a hob. Melting butter or chocolate. for example (see the chapter with tips. techniques and hints).

Covering during cooking To cover the food during cooking is very important. as the evaporated water rises as steam and contributes to cooking process. Food can be covered in different ways: e.g. with a ceramic plate. plastic cover or microwave suitable cling film.

Standing times After cooking is over food the standing time is important to allow the temperature to even out within the food.

Cooking Guide for frozen vegetables

Use a suitable glass pyrex bowl with lid. Cook covered for the minimum time – see table.

Continue cooking to get the result you prefer.

Stir twice during cooking and once after cooking. Add salt. herbs or butter after cooking.

REHEATING

Your microwave oven will reheat food in a fraction of the time that conventional ovens hobs normally take.

Use the power levels and reheating times in the following chart as a guide. The times in the chart consider liquids with a room temperature of about +18 to +20 °C or a chilled food with a temperature of about +5 to +7 °C.

Arranging and covering Avoid reheating large items such as joint of meat - they tend to overcook and dry out before the centre is piping hot. Reheating small pieces will be more successful.

Power levels and stirring Some foods can be reheated using 900 W power while others should be reheated using 600 W. 450 W or even 300 W.

Check the tables for guidance.

In general. it is better to reheat food using a lower power level. if the food is delicate. in large quantities. or if it is likely to heat up very quickly (mince pies. for example).

Stir well or turn food over during reheating for best results. When possible. stir again before serving.

Take particular care when heating liquids and baby foods. To prevent eruptive boiling of liquids and possible scalding. stir before. during and after heating. Keep them in the microwave oven during standing time. We recommend putting a plastic spoon or glass stick into the liquids. Avoid overheating (and therefore spoiling) the food. It is preferable to underestimate cooking time and add extra heating time. if necessary.

Heating and standing times When reheating food for the first time. it is helpful to make a note of the time taken - for future reference.

Always make sure that the reheated food is piping hot throughout.

Allow food to stand for a short time after reheating - to let the temperature even out.

The recommended standing time after reheating is 2-4 minutes. unless another time is recommended in the chart.

Take particular care when heating liquids and baby food. See also the chapter with the safety precautions.

REHEATING LIQUIDS

Always allow a standing time of at least 20 seconds after the oven has been switched off to allow the temperature to even out. Stir during heating. if necessary. and ALWAYS stir after heating. To prevent eruptive boiling and possible scalding. you should put a spoon or glass stick into the beverages and stir before. during and after heating.

REHEATING BABY FOOD

BABY FOOD: Empty into a deep ceramic plate. Cover with plastic lid. Stir well after reheating! Let stand for 2-3 minutes before serving. Stir again and check the temperature. Recommended serving temperature: between 30-40 °C.

BABY MILK: Pour milk into a sterilised glass bottle. Reheat uncovered. Never heat a baby’s bottle with teat on. as the bottle may explode if overheated. Shake well before standing time and again before serving! Always carefully check the temperature of baby milk or food before giving it to the baby. Recommended serving temperature: ca. 37 °C.

REMARK:

Baby food particularly needs to be checked carefully before serving to prevent burns.

Use the power levels and times in the next table as a guide lines for reheating.

DEFROSTING

Microwaves are an excellent way of defrosting frozen food. Microwaves gently defrost frozen food in a short period of time. This can be of great advantage. if unexpected guests suddenly show up.

Frozen poultry must be thoroughly thawed before cooking. Remove any metal ties and take it out of any wrapping to allow thawed liquid to drain away.

Put the frozen food on a dish without cover. Turn over half way. drain off any liquid and remove any giblets as soon as possible. Check the food occasionally to make sure that it does not feel warm.

If smaller and thinner parts of the frozen food start to warm up. they can be shield by wrapping very small strips of aluminium foil around them during defrosting.

Should poultry start to warm up on the outer surface. stop thawing and allow it to stand for 20 minutes before continuing.

Leave the fish. meat and poultry to stand in order to complete defrosting. The standing time for complete defrosting will vary depending on the quantity defrosted. Please refer to the table below.

Hint: Flat food defrosts better than thick and smaller quantities need less time than bigger ones. Remember this hint while freezing and defrosting food.

For defrosting of frozen food with a temperature of about -18 to -20 °C. use the following table as a guide.

Food Serving size Power Time (min.)

GRILL

The grill-heating element is located underneath the ceiling of the cavity. It operates while the door is closed and the turntable is rotating. The turntable’s rotation makes the food brown more evenly. Preheating the grill for 3-5 minutes will make the food brown more quickly.

Cookware for grilling: Should be flameproof and may include metal. Do not use any type of plastic cookware. as it can melt.

Food suitable for grilling: Chops. sausages. steaks. hamburgers. bacon and gammon rashers. thin fish portions. sandwiches and all kinds of toast with toppings.

Important remark: Whenever the grill only mode is used. please remember that food must be placed on the high rack. unless another instruction is recommended.

MICROWAVE + GRILL

This cooking mode combines the radiant heat that is coming from the grill with the speed of microwave cooking. It operates only while the door is closed and the turntable is rotating. Due to the rotation of the turntable. the food browns evenly. Three combination modes are available with this model: 600 W + Grill. 450 W + Grill and 300 W + Grill.

Cookware for cooking with microwave + grill Please use cookware that microwaves can pass through. Cookware should be flameproof. Do not use metal cookware with combination mode. Do not use any type of plastic cookware. as it can melt.

Food suitable for microwave + grill cooking: Food suitable for combination mode cooking include all kinds of cooked food which need reheating and browning (e.g. baked pasta). as well as foods which require a short cooking time to brown the top of the food. Also. this mode can be used for thick food portions that benefit from a browned and crispy top (e.g. chicken pieces. turning them over half way through cooking). Please refer to the grill table for further details.

Important remark: Whenever the combination mode (microwave + grill) is used. the food should be placed on the high rack. unless another instruction is recommended. Please refer to the instructions in the following chart.

CONVECTION

Cooking with convection is the traditional and well known method of cooking food in a traditional oven with hot air.

The heating element and the fan position is at the back-wall. so that the hot air is circulating. This mode is supported by the top heating element.

Cookware for convection cooking: All conventional ovenproof cookware. baking tins and sheets – anything you would normally use in a traditional convection oven – can be used.

Food suitable for convection cooking: All biscuits. individual scones. rolls and cakes should be made by this mode as well as rich fruit cakes. choux pastry and soufflés.

MICROWAVE + CONVECTION

This mode combines the microwave energy with the hot air and is therefore reducing the cooking time while giving the food a brown and crispy surface.

Cooking with convection is the traditional and well known method of cooking food in an oven with hot air circulated by a fan on the back-wall.

Cookware for cooking with microwaves + convection: Should be able to let the microwaves pass through. Should be ovenproof (like glass. pottery or china without metal trims); similar to the cookware described under Microwave

+ Grill.

Food suitable for Microwave + Convection cooking: All kinds of meats and poultry as well as casseroles and gratin dishes. sponge cakes and light fruit cakes. pies and crumbles. roast vegetables. scones and breads.
