Microwave use

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

Microwave is used in:

  • Microwave mode
  • Combi-function

Cooking Principle

  1. The microwaves generated by the microwave are distributed uniformly. The food is thus cooked evenly.
  2. 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.
  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)

Pelgrim MAC314GLS - Cooking Principle - 1

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 specified in recipes and in this booklet must therefore be respected to ensure:

• Even cooking of the food right to the centre.
- An even temperature throughout the food.

Microwave cookware guide

Cookware used for ‘Microwave Mode’ must allow microwaves to pass through and penetrate food. Metals such as stainless steel, aluminum and copper reflect microwaves. That is why cookware made of metallic materials should not be used. Cookware marked ‘microwave - safe’ is always safe for use. For additional information on appropriate cookware refer to the following guide and always use the glass tray on shelf Level 1 when using microwave mode.

CookwareMicrowave-SafeComments
Aluminium foil✓XCan be used in small quantities to protect areas against overcooking. Arcing can occur if the foil is too close to the oven wall or if too much foil is used.
China and earthenwarePorcelain, pottery, earthenware and bone china are usually suitable, unless decorated with a metal trim.
Disposable polyester cardboard dishesSome frozen foods are packaged in these dishes.
Fast food packaging• Polystyrene cups containers• Paper bags or newspaper• Recycled paper or metal trims✓XXCan be used to warm food. Overheating may cause the polystyrene to melt.May catch fire.May cause arcing.
Glassware• Oven-to-table ware• Fine glassware• Glass jarsCan be used, unless decorated with a metal trim.Can be used to warm foods or liquids. Delicate glass may break or crack if heated suddenly.Must remove the lid. Suitable for warming only.
MetalXMay cause arcing or fire.
Paper• Plates, cups, Kitchen paper• Recycled paper✓XFor short cooking times and warming. Also to absorb excess moisture.May cause arcing.
PlasticParticularly if heat-resistant thermoplastic. Some other plastics may warp or discolour at high temperatures. Do not use Melamine plastic.Can be used to retain moisture. Should not touch the food. Take care when removing the film as hot steam will escape. Only if boilable or oven-proof. Should not be airtight. Prick with a fork, if necessary.

Microwave functions

Pelgrim MAC314GLS - Microwave functions - 1

Warning!

Microwave heating of liquids (such as water) can result in delayed eruptive boiling. This means that liquid starts boiling without you seeing any movement. Once removed from the oven, the liquid can start to boil rapidly and spatter out of the cup with the risk of injury. The effect of eruptive boiling can be eliminated by placing a plastic / glass spoon in the fluid before cooking it in the microwave oven.

Pelgrim MAC314GLS - Warning! - 1

Warning!

Take care with baby food and jars:

  • The contents of feeding bottles and baby food jars must be stirred or shaken after heating.
  • Carefully check the temperature of the contents before consumption, in order to avoid burns.

Heating and cooking

Pelgrim MAC314GLS - Heating and cooking - 1

  • The microwave oven always heats with the same intensity. The more you put in the microwave oven, the longer the cooking time.
  • Wide, flat dishes become hot more quickly than narrow, tall dishes.
  • Covering dishes with cling film or a suitable lid prevents spattering, shortens cooking time and helps maintaining humidity of the dish.

Pelgrim MAC314GLS - Heating and cooking - 2

Caution!

  • Remove the cling film or lid carefully afterwards. The steam that comes off can be very hot!
  • If necessary, moisten foods that quickly dehydrate. First soak potatoes and vegetables in cold water for a moment before placing them in the microwave oven. This prevents a skin forming on them.
  • For uniform results, it is best to stir or turn meals once or twice.
  • When reheating foods that have already been cooked before, always select the highest microwave power level.
  • When cooking in a microwave oven, only small quantities of water, salt and seasoning are necessary. Best add salt after cooking. This prevents moisture being drawn out of the food.
  • Food continues to cook for some time after the microwave oven has been switched off. Keep this in mind, don't overcook your meals.

Pelgrim MAC314GLS - Caution! - 1

Caution!

- When heating small quantities of powdery products (such as when drying herbs), always place a glass of water in the microwave. Ot herwise, due to the small quantity, there is a chance of spontaneous combustion.

Defrosting

Pelgrim MAC314GLS - Defrosting - 1

  • Always defrost large, dense pieces using the defrosting programme. The food will defrost gradually and evenly, you will not run the risk of the outside drying while the centre is still frozen.
  • To speed up the defrosting process, it is recommended that after a while the food be divided up into smaller pieces.
  • For large pieces of meat and dense food, introduce a couple of breaks into the defrosting process.
  • When defrosting irregularly shaped food, halfway through the defrosting time you can cover or wrap the thin parts with aluminium foil.
  • Preferably use the oven grid when preparing meals. Never place cold (frozen) meals directly on the glass tray. The difference in temperature may cause it to crack!

Factors that affect the cooking process

Pelgrim MAC314GLS - Factors that affect the cooking process - 1

  • The temperature of the ingredients affects the cooking times. A cold meal will require a longer cooking time than a meal that is already at room temperature.
  • Light, delicate foods cook more quickly than heavy, solid foods, such as stews and rolled meats. Take care when cooking light, delicate foods. The edges quickly become dry and tough.
  • Small pieces of food are heated more evenly if you place them separately in the microwave, preferably in a circle.
  • Bones and fat conduct heat better than meat. Covering chicken legs and wings with aluminium foil prevents burning these parts.
  • Microwaves penetrate food to a depth of about 3 cm. The centre of thick foods is heated as a result of heat from the heated part (the outside) spreading to the inside.
  • Meat and poultry that is cooked in the microwave for more than about 15 minutes becomes lightly browned. Any food cooked for a shorter time can be rubbed beforehand with a ‘browning’ sauce, such as Worcestershire sauce, soya bean oil or barbecue sauce.
  • Greaseproof paper prevents splattering. It also retains heat better.

Basic techniques

Pelgrim MAC314GLS - Basic techniques - 1

- Stirring

By stirring dishes regularly you distribute the heat stored in them. Always stir from outside to inside, since the outside of the dish always becomes hot first.

- Turning

▶ Turn large, thick foods frequently. They then cook more evenly and quickly.

- Pricking

- Foods with a skin or shell, such as egg yolks, shellfish and fruit, burst in the microwave. You can prevent this by pricking them a few times with a fork or skewer beforehand.

- Checking

- Foods cook quickly. You should therefore check them frequently. Take food out of the microwave just before it is done.

- Standing

Once you have taken it out of the microwave, let the food stand covered for, in general, 3 to 10 minutes. The food continues to cook. Foods that have a dry crust, such as cake, should not be covered.

Cooking vegetables

Pelgrim MAC314GLS - Cooking vegetables - 1

  • Use fresh vegetables if possible. If the vegetables have become limp because they have been kept for too long, you can refresh them by soaking them in cold water for a little while.
  • Use a large dish to cook vegetables, so the bottom of the dish is not covered by too thick a layer.
  • Preferably cook vegetables with the water that clings to them.
    • Always cover the dish with a lid or microwave cling film.
  • Do not add salt. The salts naturally present in the vegetables usually provide enough flavour. If you must add salt, do so after cooking.
  • Cook vegetables for as short a time as possible. Allow for them continuing to cook after the microwave has been switched off.
  • Check whether the vegetables are done by pricking them with a fork or skewer.

Cooking fish

- Fish should be cooked gradually. With thin fish, fatty fish or small portions, therefore, set the power level to 30%. In other cases, you can safely set the power level a bit higher. Allow, however, for the food continuing to cook after the microwave has been switched off. Fish is done when the flesh has become opaque.

Keeping your appliance neat

Pelgrim MAC314GLS - Keeping your appliance neat - 1

  • The cooking compartment in your appliance is made of enamel. Improper care can lead to corrosion in the cooking compartment. Refer to the care and cleaning instructions in the instruction manual.
  • Salts are very abrasive. If salt is deposited in the cooking compartment, rust could develop in places.
  • Acidic sauces, such as ketchup and mustard, or salted foods, e.g. cured roasts, contain chloride and acids. These affect the stainless steel surface. Clean the cooking compartment after each use.
  • DO NOT use harsh abrasive cleaners or sharp metal scrapers to clean the oven door glass since they can scratch the surface, which may result in shattering of the glass (if provided).
  • DO NOT use a steam cleaner to clean the microwave oven.
  • If the seal on the outside of the cooking compartment is very dirty, the cooking compartment door will no longer close properly during operation. The fronts of adjacent units could be damaged. Keep the seal clean.
  • Clean the inside and outside of the oven regularly using soapy water and dry it thoroughly with a dry cloth. Make sure that the microwave distributer cover (inside the oven on the right) is clean. A cover which is not clean may cause sparking.
  • Clean the inside immediately after use. Use a damp cloth to remove any condensation, liquid that has boiled over and food remains. Crumbs and liquid that remain behind absorb microwave energy and lengthen cooking times.
  • Clean the accessories regularly; use soapy water and a brush and dry the accessories thoroughly with a dry cloth. The accessories may also be washed in a dishwasher.
  • Odours will disappear if you put a glass of vinegar or water - with lemon juice added - in the oven space. Switch the microwave on for two minutes on full power. Then wipe with a damp cloth.

What to do if...

If the microwave oven does not cook as well as it should do, if there is sparking inside it, or if it does not start, etc., first try to find the reason for the problem yourself before calling the service department.

Check:

  • Is the plug in the socket?
    • Is the door closed properly?
  • Have the power level and the cooking time been set properly?
  • Are there any objects in the microwave oven which shouldn't be there?
  • Are you using the correct cooking utensils?
  • Are the vents blocked?
  • Has the food been defrosted sufficiently?
    • Did you stir or turn the food during cooking?
    • Is the childproof lock turned on?
