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
directly in a bread basket or on a paper towel.
• If frozen food is heated in its packaging, the
packaging should be opened. Packaging
containing metal or metal decoration must not
be used unless specifically recommended for
use in the microwave. 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.
