Cooking with a microwave oven

Warning! Read the section “Microwave Safety”

before cooking with your microwave.

Follow these recommendations when cooking with

your microwave:

• Before heating or cooking foods with peel or

skin (e.g. apples, tomatoes, potatoes,

sausages) prick them so that they do not

burst. Cut the food up before starting to

prepare it.

• Before using a container or dish make sure

that it is suitable for microwave use (see the

section on types of ovenware).

• When cooking food with very little moisture

(e.g. defrosting bread, making popcorn,

etc.) evaporation is very quick. The oven

then works as if it was empty and the food

may burn. The oven and the container may

be damaged in such a situation. You should

therefore set just the cooking time necessary

and you must keep a close eye on the

cooking process.

• It is not possible to heat large quantities of

oil (frying) in the microwave.

• Remove pre-cooked food from the

containers they come in since these are not

always heat resistant. Follow the food

manufacturer’s instructions.

• If you have several containers, such as

cups, for example, set them out uniformly on

the turntable plate.

• Do not close plastic bags with metal clips.

Use plastic clips instead. Prick the bags

several times so that the steam can escape

easily.

• When heating or cooking foods, check that

they reach at least a temperature of 70°C.

• During cooking, steam may form on the

oven door window and may start to drip.

This situation is normal and may be more

noticeable if the room temperature is low.

The oven’s safe working is not affected by

this. After you have finished cooking, clean

up the water coming from the condensation

• When heating liquids, use containers with

a wide opening, so that the steam can

evaporate easily.

Prepare the foods as per the instructions and

keep in mind the cooking times and power levels

indicated in the tables.

Keep in mind that the figures given are only

indicative and can vary depending on the initial

state, temperature, moisture and type of food. It is

advisable to adjust the times and power levels to

each situation. Depending on the exact

characteristics of the food you may need to

increase or shorten the cooking times or increase

or decrease the power levels.

Cooling with microwaves...

1. The greater the amount of food, the longer the

cooking time. Keep in mind that:

• Double the quantity » double the time

• Half the quantity » half the time

2. The lower the temperature, the longer the

cooking time.

3. Foods containing a lot of liquid heat up more

quickly.

4. Cooking will be more uniform if the food is

evenly distributed on the turntable. If you put

dense foods on the outside part of the plate and

less dense ones on the centre of the plate, you

can heat up different types of food simultaneously.

5. You can open the oven door at any time. When

you do this the oven switches off automatically.

The microwave will only start working again when

you close the door and press the start key.

6. Foods that are covered require less cooking

time and retain their characteristics better. The

lids used must let microwaves pass through and

have small holes that allow steam to escape.
