MICROWAVE COOKING ADVICE Man/ of the following techniques are similar to those used in conventional cooking. Microwaves cook food faster than conventional cooking. It is therefore essential that certain techniques are followed to ensure good results. COOKING ADVICE NOTES: Always attend the oven when in use. Liquids and foods must not be heated in sealed containers or jars/containers with lids on,as pressure will build up inside and may cause the container/jar to explode.
!H MICROWAVE COOKING ADVICE Food Characteristics Composition Foods high in fat or sugar (e.g. Christmas pudding, mince pies) require less heating time. Care should be taken as overheating can lead to fire. Bones in food conduct heat, making the food cook more quickly. Care must be taken so that the food is cooked evenly. Density Food density will affect the amount of cooking time needed. Light, porous foods, such as cakes or bread, cook more quickly than heavy, dense foods, such as roasts and casseroles.
!H SUITABLE COOKWARE To cook/defrost food in a microwave oven, the microwave energy must be able to pass through the container to penetrate the food.Therefore it is important to choose suitable cookware. Cookware Aluminium foil Foil Containers Browning dishes Microwave Safe ✓ /X Comments Small pieces of aluminium foil can be used to shield food from overheating. Keep foil at least 2cm from the oven walls, as arcing may occur. Foil containers are not recommended unless specified by the manufacturer, e.g.
DEFROSTING ADVICE Defrosting food using your microwave oven is the quickest method of all. It is a simple proccess but the following instructions are essential to ensure the food is thoroughly defrosted. Rearrange Foods that are placed towards the outside of the dish will defrost quicker than foods in the centre, it is therefore essential that the food is rearranged up to 4 times during defrosting. Move closely packed pieces from the outside to the centre and rearrange over-lapping areas.
REHEATING ADVICE For the reheating of foods, follow the advice and guidelines below to ensure food is thoroughly reheated before serving. Plated meals Remove any poultry or meat portions, reheat these separately, see below. Place smaller items of food to the centre of the plate, larger and thicker foods to the edge. Cover with vented microwave clingfilm and reheat on MEDIUM, stir/ rearrange halfway through reheating. NOTE: Ensure the food is thoroughly reheated before serving.
CLEANING & MAINTENANCE OVEN INTERIOR ♦ It is important to clean the interior of your microwave oven after each use. Do not allow grease or dirt to build up on the door seals or areas around the door.This may prevent the door from closing correctly and may cause a leakage of microwaves (follow the cleaning instructions opposite). ♦ To dean the oven interior, use a mild detergent solution, such as washing-up liquid, with warm water on a soft cloth.
TROUBLESHOOTING If you think the oven is not working properly there are some simple checks you can carry out yourself before calling an engineer.This will help prevent unnecessary service calls if the fault is something simple. Follow this simple check below: Place half a cup of water on the turntable and close the door. Select HIGH and programme the oven to cook for I minute. 1. Does the oven lamp come on when it is cooking? 2. Does the turntable rotate? 3.
