COOKING CHART THE MORE FOOD YOU WANT TO COOK the longer it takes. A rule of thumb is that double amount of food requires almost double the time. THE LOWER STARTING TEMPERATURE, the longer cooking time is required. Food at room temperature cooks faster than food taken directly from the refrigerator. IF YOU ARE COOKING SEVERAL ITEMS of the same food, such as jacket potatoes, place them in a ring pattern for uniform cooking.
REHEATING CHART AS IN TRADITIONAL COOKING METHODS, food reheated in a microwave oven must always be heated until piping hot. THE BEST RESULTS ARE ACHIEVED if the food is arranged with the thicker food to the outside of the plate and the thinner food in the centre. PLACE THIN SLICES OF MEAT on top of each other or interlace them. Thicker slices such as meat loaf and sausages have to be placed close to each other.
DEFROSTING CHART FROZEN FOOD IN PLASTIC BAGS, plastic films or cardboard packages can be placed directly in the oven as long as the package has no metal parts (e.g. metal twist ties). THE SHAPE OF THE PACKAGE alters the defrosting time. Shallow packets defrost more quickly than a deep block. SEPARATE PIECES as they begin to defrost. Individual slices defrost more easily. SHIELD AREAS OF FOOD with small pieces of aluminiumfoil if they start to become warm (e.g. chicken legs and wing tips).
GRILLING CHART THICKER FOODS such as gratins and chicken; Cook with microwaves first and then allow the grill to brown the top surface in order to put some colour to it. THE GRILL FUNCTION IS EXCELLENT for browning the food after cooking with microwaves. THE WIRE RACK may be used to move foods closer to the grill element for quicker browning. YOU MAY PLACE vessels or gratins directly on the Glass turntable. PLACE THIN FOODS such as toasts and sausages on the wire rack and cook with grill only.
MAINTENANCE & CLEANING CLEANING IS THE ONLY MAINTENANCE normally required. It must be carried out with the microwave oven disconnected.
