How to understand and interpret the power of this microwave?

Accepted Answer

The power of the CANDY CMXG 20D W is indicated by two different values that are important to understand:

The two types of power

Output power (useful power): 800 W
This is the actual power used to cook your food. The higher this value, the faster the cooking will be. The 800 W of this model is a standard power for a compact microwave of this capacity.

Input power (consumed power): 1250 W
This is the power that the microwave consumes from the electrical outlet. The difference between the consumed power and the useful power corresponds to the energy transformed into heat within the appliance itself.

The grill

The grill of this microwave consumes 1000 W of input power. This function is independent of the microwave mode.

Adjusting the cooking power

You can adjust the microwave power according to your needs with the 5 available levels: 10%, 30%, 50%, 80%, and 100% of the maximum power of 800 W. A reduced power is useful for gently defrosting your food or reheating without drying out.

Question 10

How to cook a gratin dauphinois in the CANDY CMG 200 S microwave?

Accepted Answer

To cook a gratin dauphinois in your CANDY CMG 200 S combination microwave, use the microwave power of 700 W for quick and efficient cooking.

Preparation of ingredients: Peel and slice about 1 kg of potatoes into thin rounds about 2 to 3 mm thick to ensure even cooking. Then prepare a mixture by pouring 500 ml of fresh cream, 200 ml of milk, 1 to 2 crushed garlic cloves, salt, pepper, and a pinch of nutmeg into a bowl.

Assembly in the dish: Place a layer of potatoes in a microwave-safe dish. Pour a little of the cream mixture, then alternate layers of potatoes and cream until the ingredients are used up, finishing with the cream. Cover the dish with a microwave lid or perforated plastic wrap to avoid excessive condensation.

Microwave cooking: Set your CANDY CMG 200 S to 100% power (700 W) and cook for 20 to 25 minutes. Check the cooking regularly by piercing the potatoes with a knife; they should be tender and easily pierced.

Grill finish (optional): Using the grill function of your microwave (800 W), you can brown the top without using a traditional oven. Sprinkle grated cheese on the surface and activate the grill function for 3 to 5 minutes until a nice golden color is achieved. Stay vigilant as the grill heats quickly.

Practical tips: Cooking times may vary slightly depending on the exact thickness of your potato slices. Use a glass or ceramic dish for optimal heat distribution. Let it rest for a few minutes before serving so that the flavors develop and the temperature balances in the dish. Remember that the 20-liter capacity of your CANDY CMG 200 S can comfortably accommodate a gratin dauphinois dish for 4 to 6 people.
