You can use your microwave oven to:

• 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 (2.5 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

• Initial temperature (refrigerated or not) NOTE As the centre of the food is cooked by heat dissipation, cooking continues even when you have taken the food out of the microwave 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. Checking that your microwave oven is operating correctly The following simple procedure enables you to check that your microwave oven is working correctly at all times. If you have any problems, see the “Troubleshooting” section on pages 27 to 30. NOTE The microwave oven must be plugged into an appropriate wall socket. The turntable must be placed in the microwave oven. If a power level other than the maximum (100 % - 800 W) is used, the water takes longer to boil.

: Unsafe Cookware guide To cook food in the microwave oven, the microwaves must be able to penetrate the food, without being reected or absorbed by the dish used. Care must therefore be taken when choosing the cookware. If the cookware is marked microwave-safe, you do not need to worry. The following table lists various types of cookware and indicates whether and how they should be used in a microwave oven. Cookware Microwave- safe Comments Alunimium foil

Can be used in small quantities to protect areas against overcooking. Arcing can occur if the foil is too close to the microwave oven wall or if too much foil is used. Crust plate

Cooking guide 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.
