2. AG-21+22D-UK ENGLISH 03/02/2006 14:05 Page 7 What are microwaves? Microwaves are generated in the microwave oven by a magnetron and cause the water molecules in the food to oscillate. Heat is generated by the friction which is caused, with the result that the food is thawed, heated or cooked. Suitable ovenware Glass & ceramic glass Browning dish Heat-resistant glass utensils are very suitable. The cooking process can be observed from all sides. They must not, however, contain any metal (e.g.
2. AG-21+22D-UK ENGLISH 03/02/2006 14:05 Page 8 Tips & advice Time settings Large & small quantities In general the thawing, heating and cooking times are significantly shorter than when using a conventional cooker or oven. For this reason you should adhere to the recommended times given in this book. It is better to set the times too short, rather than too long. Test the food after it has been cooked. It is better to have to cook something for a little longer than to overcook it.
2. AG-21+22D-UK ENGLISH 03/02/2006 14:05 Page 9 Tips & advice Browning agents After more than 15 minutes cooking time food acquires a brownness, although this is not comparable to the deep brownness and crispness obtained through conventional cooking. In order to obtain an appetising brown colour you can use browning agents. For the most part they simultaneously act as seasoning agents.
2. AG-21+22D-UK ENGLISH 03/02/2006 14:05 Page 10 Tips & advice Turning/stirring Almost all foods have to be turned or stirred from time to time. As early as possible, separate parts which are stuck together and rearrange them. Small amounts... defrost more quickly and evenly than larger ones. We recommend that you freeze portions which are as small as possible. By so doing you will be able to prepare whole menus quickly and easily.
