SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS ABOUT FOOD

It is normal for the exterior of the microwave oven to be warm to touch when

Cooking or reheating.

Condensation is a normal part of microwave cooking. Room Humidity and the moisture in food will influence the amount of moisture that condenses in the microwave oven.

Generally, covered food will not cause as much condensation as uncovered ones.

Ventilation openings must not be blocked.

LIQUIDS

1) Liquid or other food must not be heated in sealed containers since they are liable to explode.
2) Microwave heating of beverage can result in delayed eruptive boiling, therefore care has to be taken when handling the container.

To reduce the risk of injury to persons:

• Do not overheat the liquid.
• Stir the liquid both before and halfway through heating it.
- Do not use straight-sided containers with narrow necks. Use a wide-mouthed container.
- After heating, allow the container to stand in the microwave oven at least for 20 seconds before removing the container.
• Use extreme care when inserting a spoon or other utensil into the container.

FATS AND OIL

3) Do not deep fry food in the oven. Hot oil can damage oven parts and utensils and even result in skin burns.

EGGS

4) Eggs in their shell and whole hard-boiled eggs should not be heated in microwave ovens since they may explode even after microwave heating has ended.

BABY FOODS

5) The contents of feeding bottles and baby jars should be stirred or shaken and the temperature should be checked before serving in order to avoid burns.

COOKWARES

6) Cooking utensils may become hot because of heat transferred from the heated food. Potholders may be needed to handle the utensil.
7) Utensils should be checked to ensure that they are suitable for use in microwave oven.

POPCORN

Do not pop popcorn in your microwave oven unless in a special Microwave popcorn accessory or unless you use popcorn labeled for use in microwave ovens.

8) This product is a Group 2 Class B ISM equipment. The definition of Group 2 which contains all ISM (Industrial, Scientific and Medical) equipment in which radio-frequency energy is intentionally generated and/or used in the form of electromagnetic radiation for the treatment of material, and spark erosion equipment. For Class B equipment is equipment suitable for use in domestic establishments and

MICROWAVE COOKING PRINCIPLES

• More volume = more cooking time
• Colder temperature = more cooking time
• More moisture in food = more cooking time
• More dense foods= more cooking time
• More sugar, fat = less cooking time
• Higher wattage microwave = less cooking time

INSTRUCTIONS WHILE MICROWAVE COOKING
Because a microwave works like this ....	....Do this while cooking in a microwave
1.Microwave causes molecules in food to vibrate.This creates heat that cooks the food.Heat from the food warms the container that the food is in	Use potholders to avoid burns.
2. Microwaves cannot pass through metal, but they do pass through glass, ceramic, plastic, or paper.	Hence do not use metal cookwares in microwave mode of cooking.
3. Energy in a microwave oven can be uneven.Some parts of the oven may have more energy and will cook faster than other parts.	Rearrange food while they are cooking.Turn dishes several times during the cooking period.
4. Microwave penetrate food only 3/4 to 1 1/2 inches. Food cook from the outside of the dish toward the center.	Stir food while cooking. Bring food in the center toward the edge and food at the edge toward the center.
5. Microwave bounce off the sides of the oven.	Arrange foods so the thickest parts are toward the side of the oven.
6. A microwave oven has no heating element .This allows you to use paper and plastic products safely in a microwave oven.	Plastic wrap, paper towels,and wax paper can be used to cover food and help reduce spatters.
7. Heat is inside the food,so food does not stop cooking when you turn off the oven.	Remove food from the oven before it is totally cooked .Allow food some standing time to finish cooking.
8. The more food you are cooking ,the less energy there is for each item to absorb.	Larger amounts of food will need a longer time to cook
9. Steam can build up inside confined areas and cause food to explode.	Pierce food with skin (such as egg yolks, potatoes, or sausage) to let steam escape.
10. Many ovens can operate at several different power levels.At lower than 100 percent power levels,the oven turns on and off,allowing times for the heat level to equalize.	The high fat content of cheese attracts microwave .When heating large quantities of cheese, use less than 100 percent power so that outside edges will not get too hot before the inside is heated.
11.Foods cooks quickly ,and most do not have time to brown	Use sauces,herbs ,or toppings to make pale food look better.
12. It is not quicker to cook foods like rice or	Use both microwave and convection mode
noodles in a microwave oven..Some foods such as bread,do not cook well in a microwave oven.	for the quickest and most efficient meal preparation.

MICROWAVE COOKING TECHNIQUES

Stirring

Stir food such as casseroles and vegetables while cooking to distribute heat evenly.

Arrangement

Arrange unevenly shaped foods, such as chicken pieces or chops, with the thicker, meatier parts toward the outside of the turntable where they receive more microwave energy.

Shielding

Shield food with narrow strips of aluminum foil to prevent overcooking (poultry wing-tips, the ends of poultry legs, and corners of square baking dishes). Use only small amounts of aluminum foil. Larger amounts can damage your oven.

Turning

Turn food over midway through cooking to expose all parts to microwave energy. This is especially important with large items such as roasts.

Standing

Food cooked in the microwave build up internal heat and continue to cook for a few minutes after the oven stops. Let food stand to complete cooking, especially food such as roasts and whole vegetables. Roasts need this time to complete cooking in the center without overcooking the outer areas.

All liquids, such as soup or hot chocolate, should be shaken or stirred when cooking is Complete. Let liquids stand a moment before serving.

FOOD DONENESS SIGNS INCLUDE:

o Food steams throughout, not just at edge.
- Center bottom of dish is very hot to touch.
o Poultry thigh joints move easily.
o Meat and poultry show no pinkness.
o Fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.

DEFROSTING TIPS

Defrosting in a microwave is speedy and hygienic. It prevents the growth of bacteria & retains the natural texture & flavor of the food, offers quick and complete defrosting.

• Foods must be weighed correctly.
• Remove food to be defrosted from the packaging material.
• Allow the food to stand for few minutes to thaw food completely.
• Spacing of the food to be thawed should be in circular pattern.
• Place though or bigger pieces on the outer edge of the dish.
• When defrosting stir or turn halfway for even defrosting.
  o Separate the pieces as they thaw.

- Remove the small pieces which have been thawed to prevent them from cooking

GRILLING TIPS

o Marinate foods only in the refrigerator. Reserve a portion of the marinade, before raw meat is placed in it, for using it later in basting or as a dip for cooked food.
- To avoid flare-ups and charred food, remove visible fat from meat.
- Don't partially cook, unless food will go immediately onto the grill.
- If cooking ahead, cook completely, then cool down first for reheating later.
- Serve food from the grill on clean platter, not one that has raw possibly contaminated juices on it.

CONVECTION TIPS

• ALWAYS PREHEAT OVEN BEFORE PUTTING FOOD IN OVEN (unless your recipe directs otherwise).
  As with any recipe, check the food about 5-10 minutes before the expected finish time, due to variables such as the temperature of the food when first placed in the oven, quantity of food in the oven, your preferred level of "doneness", etc.
• The more food in the oven at one time, the longer the cooking time.

COOKWARE SELECTION GUIDE

The ideal material for a microwave utensil is transparent to microwave, it allows energy to pass through the container and heat the food.

1. Do not use recycled paper products when microwave cooking, as they may contain small metal fragments which may cause sparks and/or fires.
2. Round /oval dishes rather than square/oblong ones are recommend, as food in corners tends to overcook.
3. Narrow strips of aluminum foil may be used to prevent overcooking of exposed areas. But be careful don't use too much and keep a distance of 1 inch (2.54cm) between foil and cavity.

The list below is a general guide to help you select the correct utensils.
