MICROWAVING Introduction: Microwave energy causes the

particles in food to vibrate. This results in the food being heated up due to the friction, in the same way your hands get warm when you rub them together.

Outer areas of food are heated by microwave energy , and remaining portions by conduction. It is, therefore, important to turn, rearrange or stir food to ensure even heating. Where recommended, allow

food to stand, this is not optional but necessary to ensure thorough cooking and is particularly important for dense food, such as joints of meat. Microwaves pass through non-metallic dishes and utensils and heat the food inside the dishes. Microwaves are reflected by metal. The oven is lined with metal and has a fine metallic mesh in the door to prevent microwave leakage. Metallic dishes are not suitable for microwaving. (Refer to suitable cookware page 16-17)

Prepare and place food in suitable container onto the turntable. Close the door.

Opening and closing the door: To open the oven door, press the door opening button. The oven lamp will come on while the door is open. Close the door firmly and the oven lamp will go out.

COOKING ADVICE

W ARNING -

Always attend the oven when in use. Carefully follow the SHARP Operation Manual at all times. If you exceed recommended cooking times and/or use power levels that are too high, food may overheat, burn, and in extreme circumstances, catch fire and damage the oven. The microwave power level will default to 100P (HIGH) unless you press the MICROW AVE POWER LEVEL key to the desired setting. Take care when heating foods with high sugar or fat content, for example, Christmas pudding, mince pies and fruit cakes. Before use, the user should check that utensils are suitable for use in microwave ovens. Lids: Always remove lids from food jars and containers before you use them in the oven. If you do not, steam and pressure will build up inside and the container may explode. Liquids and other foods must not be heated in sealed containers since they are liable to explode. Do not place hot foods/utensils on a cold turntable, or cold foods/utensils on a hot turntable.

A variety of cookware can be used for microwaving. Round/oval dishes rather than square/oblong ones are recommended, as food in corners tends to overcook.

SUITABLE FOR

MICROWAVING GRILL DUAL

YES

Always place on an up-turned plate on the turntable to prevent heat stress. Follow manufacturers' instructions. Be careful as these become very hot. Popcorn: Only use microwave popcorn within recommended packaging (follow popcorn manufacturer's instructions). Never use oil unless the manufacturer recommends and never cook for longer than instructed.

NO NO

YES NO

Metal trays may be used

Aluminium foil & foil containers, made from "Micro Foil®".

YES/NO

Use small pieces of aluminium foil to shield food from overheating. Keep foil at least 2cm from the oven walls. Foil containers are not recommended unless specified by the manufacturer, eg. MicroFoil ®, follow instructions carefully .

FOOD HANDLING & PREPARATION

Face & Hands: Always use oven gloves to remove food or cookware from the oven. Stand back

when opening the oven door to allow heat or steam to disperse. When removing covers (such as cling film), opening roasting bags or popcorn packaging, direct steam away from face and hands.

For even cooking stir, turn or rearrange food during cooking. Where recommended, leave food to stand after cooking or defrosting.

The initial temperature of food affects the amount of cooking time needed, eg. chilled food requires more cooking than food at room temperature.

Check the temperature of food and drink and stir (Before serving). Take special care when serving babies, children or the elderly . The contents of feeding bottles and baby food jars should be stirred or shaken and the temperature checked before consumption in order to avoid burns.

YES YES/NO

See method recommended for cooking & defrosting

Stir , turn & stand

Initial and final temperature of food.

The temperature of the container is not a true indication of the temperature of the food or drink. Cut into foods with fillings, for example, jam doughnuts, to release heat or steam.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXFOOD HANDLING & PREPARATION

Quality & Composition

Piercing

Arrangement

Covering

Food high in fat or sugar (Christmas cake, mince pies) requires less heating time and should be watched, over-heating can lead to fire. Good quality ingredients should be used for microwaving. Economical cuts of meat are recommended for casseroles.

Food with skin (such as potatoes, apples, fish, chicken), or with membrane (such as the white and yolk of eggs), must be pierced in several places. If not, steam will build up and may cause food to explode. Note: Eggs in their shell and whole hard boiled eggs should not be heated in microwave ovens since they may explode even after heating has ended. Canned potatoes should not be heated in the microwave oven as they may burst.

Place thickest parts of food on the outside of the dish, for example, the meaty ends of chicken drumsticks should be placed on the outside of the dish.

Fish, vegetables and certain other foods benefit from being covered during microwave cookery, follow recommendations where given and use vented microwave cling film or a suitable lid.

Size & Shape

Density & Quantity

Hygiene

Food size and shape affect the amount of cooking time required. When cooking more than one portion of the same food ensure they are of a similar size and shape.

Food density and quantity affect the amount of cooking time needed, for example, potatoes require more cooking than peas; four potatoes will take longer to cook than two.

Food hygiene standards (storage, handling and preparation) apply to microwaving. Always store convenience foods as recommended by the food manufacturer and keep no longer than the "use by" date.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXADVICE FOR DEFROSTING

Meat joints

Poultry

Steak, Chops & Chicken Portions

Cubed & Minced Meat

Place in a flan dish, turn over at least 4-5 times during defrosting, shield any warm areas with small, flat pieces of foil. After defrosting, wrap in foil and allow meat to stand for 45-60 minutes, until thoroughly defrosted.

Place in a flan dish, turn over at least 3-4 times during defrosting, shield any warm areas with small, pieces of foil. After defrosting, wrap in foil and allow poultry to stand for 45-60 minutes, until thoroughly defrosted. NOTE: Do not defrost poultry with giblets.

Place in a flan dish, separate during defrosting and turn over at least 2-3 times. Shield if necessary.

NOTES:

• T o defrost food, use either 30P (MEDIUM LOW) or 10P (LOW) microwave power.

• Shield warm areas with small pieces of foil if necessary.

• It is important to turn food over, separate (where appropriate) and rearrange to ensure even defrosting,

• Standing time is necessary to ensure thorough defrosting.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXADVICE FOR COOKING & REHEATING

Fire: If smoke is observed, switch off or unplug the appliance and keep the door closed in order to

stifle any flames. Oil & Fat: Never heat oil or fat for deep frying as this may lead to overheating and fire. Stand back when opening the oven door to allow heat or steam to disperse. When removing covers (such as cling film), opening roasting bags or popcorn packaging, direct steam away from face and hands. Liquids: Microwave heating of beverages can result in delayed eruptive boiling, therefore care has to be taken when handling the container: Stir liquid prior to and during heating/reheating, let liquid stand in the oven at the end of cooking. Never heat liquids in narrow necked containers such as baby bottles, as this could result in the contents erupting from the container and may cause burns.

• Remove food from foil or metal containers before reheating.

• Reheating times will be affected by the shape, depth, quantity and temperature of food together

with the size, shape and material of the container.

• To avoid overheating and fire, special care must be taken when reheating foods with a high sugar or fat content, for example, Mince pies or Christmas pudding. Canned potatoes should not be heated in the microwave oven, follow the manufacturer’s instructions on the can.
