METHOD

Sift together flour, salt and baking powder. Mix butter into the flour until it resembles fine bread crumbs. Blend in cheese

and chilli powder. Gradually add milk and water, mixing it with a round-bladed knife or by hand until the dough is soft and manageable. Leave a little milk for brushing the scones. Turn the dough on to a lightly floured surface. Divide into equal portions. Knead them lightly with the fingertips. Shape

each portion into a round or with a shaped cutter,

¾” thick and about 2” diameter. Set them on a greased

MWO baking tray. Prick the top with a fork and sprinkle with cumin. Press down lightly. Brush with milk or egg wash. Microwave on HIGH for 2-3 minutes. You may have to do this in batches of 6-7. Allow to cool in the MWO for 5 minutes before serving. Serve as is or cut and spread some butter or cheese spread and a slice of tomato. To make even lighter scones, add soda bicarbonate and cream of tartar (available at chemists and supermarkets) in equal proportions instead of baking powder.

Microwave Oven specifications

The Samsung Microwave Oven has established itself as a household staple, offering a blend of innovative technology and user-friendly features that streamline cooking processes. One of its standout characteristics is its sleek and modern design, which complements any kitchen aesthetic. Available in various sizes and finishes, including stainless steel and black, these microwaves fit seamlessly into both contemporary and traditional interiors.

One of the main features of Samsung microwaves is the Smart Inverter technology. This unique system delivers precise cooking power levels for even heating and defrosting. Unlike traditional microwaves that operate only at full power or off, Smart Inverter adjusts power levels throughout cooking, ensuring food is heated evenly without cold spots.

Another notable feature is the ceramic enamel interior. This easy-to-clean surface is not only durable but also resists stains and odor absorption, making maintenance hassle-free. The ceramic coating is designed to be naturally non-stick, which means spills can be wiped away easily, enhancing the overall cooking experience.

Samsung’s Sensor Cook technology is another innovation that simplifies meal preparation. This feature automatically detects humidity levels and adjusts cooking time based on the food being prepared. Users can enjoy perfectly cooked dishes without the guesswork traditionally associated with microwave cooking.

Furthermore, the microwave comes equipped with a variety of pre-programmed settings. These one-touch buttons cater to common food items such as popcorn, pizza, and beverages, providing convenience for busy families and individuals. Additionally, the eco mode available in many models conserves energy by reducing power consumption when the microwave is not in use.

The design of Samsung microwaves also incorporates user-friendly elements like bright LED lighting, which illuminates the cooking space, and control panels that are intuitive and easy to navigate. Many models feature a minimalist interface with a clear digital display, allowing users to monitor cooking progress at a glance.

Safety is a priority in Samsung microwaves, which often include child safety locks to prevent unintended use, ensuring peace of mind in homes with young children.

In conclusion, Samsung Microwave Ovens combine advanced technology with practical designs and features, making them an ideal choice for modern kitchens. From the Smart Inverter and Sensor Cook technologies to the easy-to-clean enamel interior, these microwaves cater to various cooking needs, enhancing culinary experiences while delivering reliable performance and convenience.
