Cooking meat, fish & poultry

Cooking & defrosting

• When buying food items, try to ensure that, as far

as possible, they are of similar size. This will ensure

that they are cooked properly.

• Before preparation wash meat, fish and poultry

thoroughly under cold running water and pat them

dry with kitchen paper. Then continue as normal.

• Beef should be well hung and have little gristle.

• Even though the pieces may be of a similar size,

cooking results may vary. This is due, amongst other

things, to the kind of food, variations in the fat and

moisture content as well as the temperature before

cooking.

• After the food has been cooking for 15 minutes it

acquires a natural brownness, which may be

enhanced by the use of a browning agent. If, in

addition, you would like the surface to be crisp you

should either use the browning dish or sear the food

on your cooker and finish cooking it in your

microwave. By doing this you will simultaneously

obtain a brown base for making a sauce.

• Turn large pieces of meat, fish or poultry half way

through the cooking time, so that they are cooked

evenly from all sides.

• After cooking, cover roasts with aluminium foil and

allow them to stand for approx. 10 minutes (standing

time). During this period the roast carries on cooking

and the liquid is evenly distributed, so that when it is

carved a minimum amount of juice is lost.

Deep-frozen dishes can be defrosted and cooked at the

same time in one process in your microwave. You will

find some examples in the table (see page 23). Do take

note, however, of the general advice given on “heating”

and “defrosting” food.

Please refer to the manufacturer’s instructions on the

packaging when preparing deep-frozen dishes. These

usually contain precise cooking times and offer advice

on preparation.

To set the microwave power level :

1. Rotate the TIMER/WEIGHT/PORTION knob clockwise or counter-clockwise to select cooking time.

2. Press the MICROWAVE POWER LEVEL button until the desired power level appears on the display. (If the

MICROWAVE POWER LEVEL button is touched once, will be displayed. If you miss your desire level,

continue pressing the MICROWAVE POWER LEVEL button until you reach the level again).

3. Press the START/QUICK button.

Your oven has 5 power levels. To choose the power level

for cooking, follow the advice given in the recipe

section. Generally the following recommendations

apply:

900 W used for fast cooking or reheating e.g. soup,

casseroles, canned food, hot beverages, vegetables, fish,

etc.

630 W used for longer cooking of dense foods such as

roast joints, meat loaf and plated meals, also for

sensitive dishes such as cheese sauce and sponge cakes.

At this reduced setting, the sauce will not boil over and

food will cook evenly without over cooking at the sides.

450 W for dense foods which require a long cooking

time when cooked conventionally, eg. beef dishes, it is

advisable to use this power setting to ensure the meat

will be tender.

270 W (Defrost setting) to defrost, select this power

setting, to ensure that the dish defrosts evenly. This

setting is also ideal for simmering rice, pasta, dumplings

and cooking egg custard.

90 W For gentle defrosting, eg. cream gateaux or

pastry.

W = WATT

Microwave power levels

NOTE: If the power level is not selected, 900 W is automatically set.
