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:
• Defrost
• Reheat
• Cook
Cooking principle.
1. The microwaves generated by the
magnetron reected at cavity and are
distributed uniformly as the food rotates
on the turntable. The food is thus cooked
evenly.
2. The microwaves are absorbed by the food
up to a depth of about 1 inch (2.5cm).
Cooking then continues as the heat is
dissipated within the food.
3. Cooking times vary according to the
container used and the properties of the
food:
• Quantity and density
• Water content
• Initial temperature (refrigerated or not)
IMPORTANT
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 specied 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.

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 efciency.
Microwaves are reected 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, sh, 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 lm.
Standing times
After cooking is over food the standing time
is important to allow the temperature to
even out within the food.

Cooking guide
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 1000
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 rst 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.

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 sh, 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.
