  • Page 32: Cooking Advice

    WARNING: Follow instructions in the SHARP operation manual at all times. If you exceed recommended cooking times and use power levels that are too high, food may overheat, burn and, in extreme circumstances, catch fi re and damage the oven.
  • Page 33 MICROWAVE COOKING ADVICE Food Characteristics Composition Foods high in fat or sugar (e.g. Christmas pudding, mince pies) require less heating time. Care should be taken as overheating can lead to fire. Bones in food conduct heat, making the food cook more quickly. Care must be taken so that the food is cooked evenly.

  • Page 34: Suitable Cookware

    SUITABLE COOKWARE To cook/defrost food in a microwave oven, the microwave energy must be able to pass through the container to penetrate the food. Therefore it is important to choose suitable cookware. Round/oval dishes are preferable to square/oblong ones, as the food in the corners tends to overcook.

  • Page 35: Defrosting Advice

    DEFROSTING ADVICE Using your microwave is a very efficient method of defrosting. It is a simple proccess but the following instructions are essential to ensure the food is thoroughly defrosted. Foods that are placed towards the outside of the dish will defrost quicker Rearrange than foods in the centre.

  • Page 36: Reheating Advice

    Follow the advice and guidelines below to ensure food is thoroughly reheated before serving: Plated meals Remove poultry or meat portions, reheat these separately, see below. Place smaller items of food to the centre of the plate, larger and thicker foods to the edge. Cover with vented microwave cling film and reheat on 50%, stir/rearrange halfway through reheating.
