Suitable ovenware

They must, however, be small in relation to the food, e.g.

aluminium containers must be at least 2/3 to 3/4 filled

with food. It is recommended that you transfer the food

into a dish suitable for use in the microwave.

When using aluminium containers or other metal utensils

there must be a gap of approx. 2 cm between them and

the walls of the cooking area, otherwise the walls could

be damaged by possible arcing.

No utensil should have a metal overlay metal parts

such as screws, bands or handles.

UTENSIL SUITABILITY TEST

If you are not sure whether your utensil is suitable for

use in your microwave oven, carry out the following test:

Place the utensil into the oven. Place a glass container

filled with 150 ml of water on or next to the utensil.

Switch on the oven at 900 W power for 1 to 2 minutes.

If the utensil stays cool or just warm to the touch, it is

suitable. Do not use this test on a plastic utensil. It could

melt.

Do not heat sealed containers such as jars or tins. The

pressure inside the container could cause the container

to explode. (The exception is when you are making

preserves).

All indicated cooking times...

Are guidelines only. Cooking times may vary depending

on starting temperature, the weight and composition

(water, fat content, etc) of the food.

Salt, herbs and spices

Food cooked in the microwave oven retains its taste

better than with conventional cooking methods. Use

salt sparingly and as a rule only add salt after the food

has cooked. Salt binds liquids and dries out the surface

of food. Herbs and spices can be used as normal.

Testing the food

You can test whether food is cooked in the same way

as conventional cookery.

• Using a food thermometer. After cooking or re-

heating all foods have a certain internal

temperature. You can use a food thermometer to

test whether the food is hot enough, or ‘done’.

• Using a fork. Test fish with a fork. If the flesh is not

transparent and comes off the bone easily, it is

done. If it is overcooked, it will be brittle and dry.

• Wooden skewer. Test cakes and bread by sticking in

a wooden skewer. If the skewer comes out clean and

dry, the food is ready.

Tips & advice

Before you start...

To make it as easy as possible to use the microwave

oven, we have put together a few hints and tips for you.

Only switch on the oven when the food is already inside.

Setting the cooking time

Defrosting, re-heating and cooking times are generally

much shorter than in a conventional oven or hob. So

you will need to consult this book for the

recommended cooking times. It is better to set shorter

rather than longer cooking times. Always test the food

after the cooking time has elapsed. It is better to then

continue cooking it for a little longer, than to have

overcooked food.

Starting temperature

Defrosting, re-heating and cooking times depend on

the temperature of the food when you start. For

example, deep-frozen and refrigerated food will need

longer than food that is at room temperature.

Standard storage temperatures of food are assumed for

re-heating and cooking times (refrigerator temperature

of 5°C, room temperature of approximately 20°C). For

defrosting food a starting temperature of

approximately -18°C is assumed.

Cook popcorn only in special microwave safe

containers. Refer exactly to the manufacturer’s

instructions. Do not use a normal paper or glass

container.

Do not cook eggs in their unbroken shells. Pressure

builds up inside the shell and this may result in the egg

exploding. Prick the yolk before you cook it.

Do not heat oil or fat for deep-frying inside the

microwave oven. It is impossible to control the

temperature of the oil and it may suddenly splash out

of the pan.
