SUITABLEOVENWARE

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.

SUITABLE UTENSILS FOR COMBINED OPERATION

Generally heatproof microwave utensils (e.g. porcelain, ceramic(s) or glass) are also suitable for the combination operation (microwave and hot-air, microwave and grill).

Note however that the utensils become very hot by hot-air or grill. Plastic utensils and foil are not suitable for the combination operation. Do not use kitchen or baking paper. It could overheat and catch fire.

METAL

should not usually be used. Exceptions are coated baking tins, where-by the outer areas are well covered by the food e.g. bread, cake and piquant cakes. Consider the notes for the suitable ovenware in the microwave operation. If it begins sparking, a heat-resistant insulating material, e.g. a small porcelain plate, should be placed between the metal tin and the rack. Do not use these materials for cooking with the combination operation when sparking occurs.

SUITABLE UTENSILS FOR CONVECTION AND GRILL OPERATION

When cooking with convection and grill, without microwave mode, you can use the same utensils you would use for any conventional oven or grill cookery.

TIPSANDADVICE

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 then to 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 refridgerated food will need longer than food that is at room temperature. Standard storage temperaturs of food are assumed for re-heating and cooking times (refridgerator temperature of 5° C, Room temperature of approximately 20° C). For defrosting food a starting temperature of -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 the unbroken shells. Pressure builds up inside the shell and this may result in the egg exploding.

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.

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).
