Cooking with microwaves

Before using a container, check if it is suitable for using in a microwave oven (see: “What kind of containers may be used?”).

Cut the food before starting to prepare it.

When heating liquids, use containers with a large neck, so that the steam may evaporate easily.

Prepare foods according to the tips and pay attention to the cooking times and power levels indicated in the tables.

Remember that the values given are merely a guideline and that they may vary depending on the initial state, temperature, humidity and type of food. We recommend that the times and power levels be adjusted to each situation. Depending on the food, the cooking time should be extended or shortened and the power level should be raised or reduced.

Cooking with microwaves...

1.The greater the quantity of food, the longer the cooking time. Remember the following rules:

Double the quantity - double the time

Half the quantity – half the time

39

2.The lower the temperature, the longer the cooking time.

3.Liquid foods heat faster.

4.Proper distribution of the food on the rotating plate facilitates uniform cooking. If the solid foods are placed on the outer part of the plate and the least solid in the middle of the plate, it will be possible to heat different kinds of food at the same time.

5.The door of the appliance may be opened at any time. The appliance is automatically switched off. The microwave only continues to function if the door is closed.

6.Foods that are covered require less cooking time and their characteristics are better preserved. The lid must allow the microwaves to pass through and should have little openings to allow the steam to come out.
