Cookware Guide
To cook food in the microwave oven, the microwaves must be able to
penetrate the food, without being reflected 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.

Cooking Guide
MICROWAVES
GB
Microwave energy actually penet rates food, attracted and absorbed by its water, fat
and sugar content.
The microwaves cause the molecules in the f ood to move rapidly. Th e 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 are reflected by metal, such as stainless steel, aluminium and copper, but
they can penetrate through ceramic, glass, p or cela in and plas tic as well as paper an d
wood. So food must never be cooked in metal containers.
Food suitable for microwave cooking:
Many kinds of food are suitable f or microwave cooking, including fresh or frozen
vegetables, fruit, pasta, rice, grains , beans , f ish, and mea t. Sau ces , cu st ard, soup s,
steamed puddings, preserves, an d chutneys can also be cooke d in a micro wave oven.
Generally speaking, microwave cooking is ideal for any food that would normally be
prepared on a hob. Melting butter or choc olat e, for ex ample (se e the c hap te r with tips,
techniques and hints).
Covering during cooking
To cover the food during cooking is ver y im port ant , as the evap or at ed wate r rise s as
steam and contributes to coo king proc ess. Fo od ca n be covered in diffe rent wa ys: e.g.
with a ceramic plate, plastic c over or microwave suitable cling film.
Standing times
After cooking is over, standin g time for t he food is impo rtant to a llow the te mperature t o
even out within the food.

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 suc h as joint of mea t - th ey tend to ov er coo k 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 850 W power while others should be reheated
using 600 W, 450 W or even 3 00 W.
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 qu an tities, or if it is likely to heat up ve ry
quickly (mince pies, for example).
Stir well or turn food over during reheatin g fo r be st result s. Whe n pos sible, stir ag ain
before serving.
Take particular care when heating liquids an d bab y fo ods. To pre vent er up tive boiling
of liquids and possible scalding , stir before, during and after h eating. Ke ep them in the
microwave oven during stand ing time . We recomm end p utting a pla stic spo on or glass
stick into the liquids. Avoid overheating (and therefore spoiling) the food.
It is preferable to underestimate cooking tim e an d add ext ra hea ting time, if necess ar y.
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 re hea ting - to le t the te mpe ra tu re even out .
The recommended standing time after reheating is 2-4 minut es, unless anot her time is
recommended in the chart.
Take particular care when heating liq uids and baby food. Se e also the ch apter with t he
safety precautions.
REHEATING LIQUIDS
Always allow a standing t ime of at least 20 seconds after the oven has been switched
off to allow the temperature to even o ut. Stir during hea ting, 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 st ir bef or e, during and af te r he atin g.

MANUAL DEFROSTING
Microwaves are an excellent way of defrosti ng frozen food. Microwaves gently defrost
frozen food in a short period of time. This can be of gr eat ad van ta ge , if unex pe cted
guests suddenly show up.
Frozen poultry must be thorou ghly thawe d before c ooking. Remove a ny meta l ties and
take it out of any wrapping to allow thawed liquid to drain aw ay.
Put the frozen food on a dish w ithout co ver. Turn over half way, dr ain off any liquid and
remove any giblets as soon as possible.
Check the food occasionally to make sure that it does not feel warm.
If smaller and thinner parts of the frozen food sta rt to war m up , they can be shield by
wrapping very small strips of aluminium foil around them during defrosting.
Should poultry start to warm up on the ou ter surface, stop thawing and allo w it to stand
for 20 minutes before continuing.
Leave the fish, meat and p oult ry to stand in o rder to co mplete defros ting. The stand ing
time for complete defrosting will vary dependin g on the quantity de frosted. Plea se refer
to the table below.
Hint: Flat food defrosts better than thick and smaller quantities need less
time than bigger ones. Remember this hin t while freez in g and
defrosting food.
For defrosting of frozen food with a temper atur e of ab out -18 to - 20 °C, us e the
following table as a guide.
All frozen food should be defrosted using defrosting power level (180 W).

Cooking Instructions On Food Packaging
T echnical Specifications
Microwave Symbols
GB
On the front of your oven there is a microwave oven sy mbo l, as sh own b elow.
This symbol has been introduced for your benefit when co oking or reheatin g packaged
food.
Packaged food is also, increasingly, using a micr owa ve symb ol sim ilar to th e on e
below.
When you see this
Symbol on food packaging, the cooking instructions are based on either the IEC
Power Output Rating, or the Reheating Categories A, B, C, D or E.
Cooking Instructions
The IEC Power Output rating is an inte rnationally s tandardised ra ting, so all microwave
manufacturers now use the same method of measuring power output.
If food packaging gives cooking instructions based on IEC Power ratings, set cooking
times according to the IEC Power of your oven.
For example :
If the cooking instructions are based on a 650 W ov en, the n you will need to reduc e
some cooking time for the CE283DN (850 W)
Ready meals are now very convenient and popular. Th ese are meals wh ic h are
already prepared and cooked by the food manufacturer, and then frozen, chilled or
vacuum sealed for long life.
Increasingly, heating times fo r su ch read y me als ar e being base d on th e He ating
Categories A, B, C, D and E.
On this instance, simply match the heating catego ry of your oven to the instr uctions on
the food package, and set your timer accordingly .
For example :
If the heating instructions are 3 minutes on HI GH fo r a D ca tegor y ov en , the n you will
need to set your timer for less than 3 minutes on HIGH for the CE283DN (E category).
SAMSUNG strives to improve its products at all times. Both the design
specifications and these user instructions are thus subject to change
without notice.
