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 efficiency. Microwaves can penetrate through ceramic, glass, porcelain and plastic as well as paper and wood, but they are reflected by metal, such as stainless steel, aluminium and copper. So food must never be cooked in metal containers.
Foods suitable for microwave cooking:
Many kinds of food are suitable for microwave cooking, including fresh or frozen vegetables, fruit, pasta, rice, grains, beans, fish, 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.
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 film.
Standing times
After cooking is over food the standing time is important to allow the temperature to even out within the food.

Cooking Guide for rice and pasta
Rice: Use a large glass pyrex bowl with lid - rice doubles in volume during
cooking. Cook covered. After the cooking time is over, stir before standing time and salt or add herbs and butter. Remark: the rice may not have absorbed all water after the cooking time is finished.
Pasta: Use a large glass pyrex bowl. Add boiling water, a pinch of salt and
stir well. Cook uncovered. Stir occasionally during and after cooking. Cover during standing time and drain thoroughly afterwards.

REHEATING
Your microwave oven will reheat food in a fraction of the time that conventional ovens hobs normally take. Use the power levels and reheating times in the following chart as a guide. The times in the chart consider liquids with a room temperature of about +18 to +20°C or a chilled food with a temperature of about +5 to +7°C.
Arranging and covering
Avoid reheating large items such as joint of meat - they tend to overcook and dry out before the centre is piping hot. Reheating small pieces will be more successful.
Power levels and stirring
Some foods can be reheated using maximum power while others should be reheated using lower power. Check the tables for guidance. In general, it is better to reheat food using a lower power level, if the food is delicate, in large quantities, or if it is likely to heat up very quickly (mince pies, for example). Stir well or turn food over during reheating for best results. When possible, stir again before serving.

Cooking Guide

Take particular care when heating liquids and baby foods. To prevent eruptive boiling of liquids and possible scalding , stir before, during and after heating. Keep them in the microwave oven during standing time. We recommend putting a plastic spoon or glass stick into the liquids. Avoid overheating (and therefore spoiling) the food. It is preferable to underestimate cooking time and add extra heating time, if necessary.
Heating and standing times
When reheating food for the first time, it is helpful to make a note of the time taken - for future reference. Always make sure that the reheated food is piping hot throughout. Allow food to stand for a short time after reheating - to let the temperature even out. The recommended standing time after reheating is 2-4 minutes, unless another time is recommended in the chart.. Take particular care when heating liquids and baby food. See also the chapter with the safety precautions.
REHEATING LIQUIDS
Always allow a standing time of at least 20 seconds after the oven has been switched off to allow the temperature to even out. Stir during heating, if necessary, and ALWAYS stir after heating. To prevent eruptive boiling and possible scalding, you should put a spoon or glass stick into the beverages and stir before, during and after heating.

REHEATING BABY FOOD

BABY FOOD:
Empty into a deep ceramic plate. Cover with plastic lid. Stir well after reheating! Let stand for 2-3 minutes before serving. Stir again and check the temperature. Recommended serving temperature: between 30-40°C.
BABY MILK:
Pour milk into a st erilised glass bottle. Reheat unc overed. N ever heat a baby’s
bottle with teat on, as the bottle may explode if overheated. Shake well before standing time and again before serving ! Always carefully check the temperature of baby milk or food before giving it to the baby. Recommended serving temperature: ca. 37°C.
REMARK:
Baby food particularly needs to be checked carefully before serving to prevent burns. Use the power levels and times in the next table as a guide lines for reheating.

Cooking Guide

GRILL

The grill-heating element is located underneath the ceiling of the cavity. It
operates while the door is closed an d the turnt abl e is rot ating. The turntable’s
rotation makes the food brown more evenly. Preheating the grill for 4 minutes will make the food brown more quickly.
Cookware for grilling:
Should be flameproof and may include metal. Do not use any type of plastic cookware, as it can melt.
Food suitable for grilling:
Chops, sausages, steaks, hamburgers, bacon and gammon rashers, thin fish portions, sandwiches and all kinds of toast with toppings.
IMPORTANT REMARK:
Please remember that food must be placed on the high rack, unless another instruction is recommended.

MICROWAVE + GRILL

This cooking mode combines the radiant heat that is coming from the grill with the speed of microwave cooking. It operates only while the door is closed and the turntable is rotating. Due to the rotation of the turntable, the food browns evenly.
Cookware for cooking with microwave + grill
Please use cookware that microwaves can pass through. Cookware should be flameproof. Do not use metal cookware with combination mode. Do not use any type of plastic cookware, as it can melt.
Food suitable for microwave + grill cooking:
Food suitable for combination mode cooking include all kinds of cooked food which need reheating and browning (e.g. baked pasta), as well as foods which require a short cooking time to brown the top of the food. Also, this mode can be used for thick food portions that benefit from a browned and crispy top (e.g. chicken pieces, turning them over half way through cooking). Please refer to the grill table for further details.
The food must be turned over, if it is to be browned on both sides.
