P8 - (MEDIUM HIGH output = 720W) used for longer cooking of

dense foods such as roast joints, meat loaf and plated meals, also for sensitive dishes such as sponge cakes. At this reduced setting, the food will cook evenly without over cooking on the sides. P5 - (MEDIUM output = 450W) for dense foods which require a long cooking time when cooked conventionally, e.g. beef casserole, it is advisable to use this power setting to ensure the meat will be tender.

select this power setting, to ensure that the dish defrosts evenly. This

setting is also ideal for simmering rice, pasta, dumplings and cooking

SMART MEMORY FUNCTION

Rearrange

Foods that are placed towards the outside of the dish will defrost quicker than foods in the centre. It is therefore essential that the food is rearranged up to 4 times during defrosting.

Move closely packed pieces from the outside to the centre and rearrange

over-lapping

areas.

This will ensure that all parts of the food defrosts evenly.

Separate

Foods may be stuck together when removed from the freezer. It is important to separate

Shield

Some areas of food being defrosted may become warm. To prevent them becoming warmer and starting to cook, these areas can be shielded with small pieces of foil, which

ect microwaves, e.g. legs and wings on a chicken.

Stand

Standing time is necessary to ensure food is thoroughly defrosted. Defrosting is not complete once the food is removed from the microwave oven. Food must stand, covered, for a length of time to ensure the centre has completly defrosted.

Turn over

It is essential that all foods are turned over at least 3 - 4 times during defrosting. This is important to ensure thorough defrosting.

• Remove all packaging and wrapping before defrosting.

• To defrost food , use microwave power levels 30% 10%

It is a simple proccess but the following instructions are essential to ensure the food is thoroughly defrosted.

For the reheating of foods, follow the advice and guidelines below to ensure food is thoroughly reheated before serving.

Plated meals Remove any poultry or meat portions, reheat these separately,

see below.

Place smaller items of food to the centre of the plate, larger and

and reheat on 50%, stir/rearrange halfway through reheating.

NOTE: Ensure the food is thoroughly reheated before serving.

Sliced meat lm and reheat on 50%.

Rearrange at least once to ensure even reheating.

NOTE: Ensure the meat is thoroughly reheated before serving.

Poultry portions Place thickest parts of the portions to the outside of the dish, cover

lm and reheat on 70%.

Turn over halfway through reheating.

NOTE: Ensure the poultry is thoroughly reheated before serving.

Casseroles lm or a suitable lid and reheat

on 50%. Stir frequently to ensure even reheating. NOTE: Ensure the food is thoroughly reheated before serving.

To achieve the best results when reheating, select a suitable microwave power level appropriate to the type of food. e.g. A bowl of vegetables can be reheated using 100%, while a lasagne which contains ingredients that cannot be stirred, should be reheated using 50%.

NOTES:

• Remove food from foil or metal containers before reheating. ected by the shape, depth, quantity and temperature of food together with the

size, shape and material of the container.

WARNING:

Never heat liquids in narrow-necked containers, as this could result in the contents erupting from the container and may cause burns.

•

re, special care must be taken when reheating foods with a high sugar or fat content,

e.g. mince pies or Christmas pudding.

re.

• Canned potatoes should not be heated in the microwave oven, follow the manufacturer's instructions on the

can.

COOKING AND UTENSIL GUIDE

To cook/defrost food in a microwave oven, the microwave energy must be able to pass through the container to penetrate the food. Therefore it is important to choose suitable cookware. Round/oval dishes are preferable to square/oblong ones, as the food in the corners tends to overcook. A variety of cookware can be used as listed below.

Small pieces of aluminium foil can be used to shield food from overheating. Keep foil at least 2cm from the oven walls, as arcing may occur. Foil containers are not recommended unless specied by the manufacturer, e.g. Microfoil®, follow instructions carefully.

Always follow the manufacturers instructions. Do not exceed heating times given. Be very careful as these dishes become very hot.

1. THE ARRANGEMENT

Arrange foods carefully. Place thickest areas toward outside of dish.

3. COVERING

Cover foods in the microwave if you would normally cover the food in

your ordinary oven, or to retain moisture. Cover foods such as Vegetables,

7. STIRRING

Eg. Casseroles and Sauces.

11. STARTING TEMPERATURE

13. CONDENSATION

Condensation is a normal part of microwave cooking. The humidity and

moisture in food will inﬂ uence the amount of condensation in the oven.

Generally, covered foods will not cause as much condensation as uncovered

foods. Ensure that the ventilation openings are not blocked.

2. TURNING

Foods such as poultry and joints of meat should be turned over after half the

cooking time.

4. PIERCING

Pierce potatoes, eggs, tomatoes or any foods with a skin or membrane to

allow steam to escape.

6. STANDING TIME

Standing time is important. After cooking or defrosting ensure adequate

standing time. This allows the food to continue cooking or heating.

Refer to cooking guides for each menu or according to manufacturers

instructions.

8. SIZE

Small pieces cook faster than large ones. To speed up cooking, cut pieces

smaller than 5 cm so microwaves can penetrate to the centre from all sides.

For even cooking, make all the pieces the same size.

10. FAT AND BONE

Marbling within meat, or a thin, even layer of fat on a roast, speeds cooking.

Large fatty areas or excess drippings in dish attract energy away from meat,

and slows cooking. Centre bones do not affect cooking, but bone on the

side of meat conducts heat to the areas next to it.

12. QUANTITY

Microwave cooking times are directly related to the amount of food in the

oven. Because energy is absorbed by the food itself, one potato or a single

piece of chicken cooks rapidly. When the energy is divided among several

items, cooking takes more time.

14. GENERAL

Your microwave oven is capable of heating food and beverages very quickly

therefore, it is very important that you select the appropriate cooking time and

power level for the type and quantity of food to be heated. If you are unsure

of the cooking time and power level required, begin with low cooking times

and power levels until the food is sufﬁ ciently heated evenly throughout.

This process redirects the heat to other areas of the product,

reducing the risk of over cooking when defrosting. Small pieces of foil are

placed on parts of the meat that are thin and likely to cook. It is important

to ensure that the foil pieces are only big enough for that particular section

of meat. The foil must be a flat, single layer whose edges do not touch as
