ton. A beep will sound then. The time of the day will

• Always keep the oven clean – avoid spill-overs
and do not forget to clean under the glass tray and
the inside of the door.
• Preferably use round or oval casseroles with a
lid when cooking in your microwave oven.
• Do not use metal or metal decorated casserole
dishes. Certain plastic materials can melt and be
warped by hot food.
• Cover the food when cooking. Use a glass lid,
a plate or grease proof paper.
• Pastry, bread and the like can be defrosted direct-
ly in a bread basket or on a paper towel.
• If frozen food is heated in its packaging, the pack-
aging should be opened. Packaging containing
metal or metal decoration must not be used unless
specifically recommended for use in the microwa-
ve. Remove metal clips and wire ties.
• Smaller pieces of aluminium foil can be used
to cover parts that easily overcook such as
chicken legs.
• Food with peel or skin should be pierced with
a fork – e.g. potatoes and sausages. Do not boil
eggs in the microwave oven as they can explode.

Microwave Hints

• Put large, thick pieces close to the edge of the
casserole and try to cut the food in to even-sized
pieces. Always place the food in the centre of the
oven.
• The food will be more evenly cooked if you stir or
turn it regularly.
• Always set a shorter cooking time than indicated
in your recipe to avoid overcooking. The larger
the amount of food the longer it takes.
• Use little or no water for vegetables.
• Use less salt and spices than for 'normal' cooking.
• Season afterwards.
• Allow a few minutes 'standing' time after the
oven has switched off to ensure complete and
even cooking results.
• Always ensure food is piping hot throughout
before serving.
• Use gloves when taking dishes and food from the
oven.
