3.10. Recommended cooking tables
Cooking with Microwaves
Warning!
Read the section “Safety Information
before cooking with your microwave
Follow these recommendations when cooking with
microwaves:
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
ceramic base.
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.
Cooking 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 ceramic base. 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
