Panasonic NN-CF778S General Guidelines, Starting Temperature, Turning and Stirring, Checking Food

General Guidelines

Starting Temperature

The colder the food, the longer it takes to heat up. Food from a fridge takes longer to reheat than food at room temperature. Food temperature should be between 5-8ºC before cooking.

Turning and Stirring

Some foods require stirring during cooking. Meat and poultry should be turned after half the cooking time.

Checking Food

It is essential that food is checked during and after a recommended cooking time, even if an AUTO PROGRAM has been used (just as you would check food cooked in a conventional oven). Return the food to the oven for further cooking if necessary.

Covering

Cover foods with microwave cling film or a self-fitting lid. Cover fish, vegetables, casseroles, soups. Do not cover cakes, sauces, jacket potatoes, pastry items. Please refer to cooking charts and recipes for more infomation.

Liquids

All liquids must be stirred before, during and after heating. Water especially must be stirred before and during heating, to avoid eruption.

Do not heat liquids that have previously been boiled. DO NOT OVERHEAT. Stir before serving.

Cleaning

As microwaves work on food particles, keep your oven clean at all times. Stubborn spots of food can be removed by using a branded oven cleaner, sprayed onto a soft cloth. Always wipe the oven dry after cleaning. Avoid any plastic parts and door area. The catalylic lining at the back of the oven is self cleaning.
