  • Page 12: Important Information

    Important Information – Read Carefully Safety If smoke or a fire occurs in the oven, press Stop/Cancel pad and leave the door closed in order to stifle any flames. Disconnect the power cord, or shut off power at the fuse or the circuit breaker panel. Short Cooking Times As microwave cooking times are much shorter than other cooking methods it is essential that recommended cooking times are not exceeded without first checking the food.
  • Page 13 6. Liquids. Liquids and other foods must not be heated in sealed containers since they are liable to explode. When heating liquids, eg soup, sauces and beverages in your microwave oven, overheating the liquid beyond boiling point can occur without evidence of bubbling. This could result in a sudden boil over of the hot liquid.
  • Page 14 Important Information – Read Carefully 12. Standing Time. Standing time refers to the period at the end of cooking or reheating when food is left before being eaten, i.e. it is a rest time which allows the heat in the food to continue to conduct to the centre, thus eliminating cold spots.

  • Page 15: Microwaving Principles

    Microwaving Principles Microwave energy has been used in this country to cook and reheat food since early experiments with RADAR in World War II. Microwaves are present in the atmosphere all the time, both naturally and from manmade sources. Manmade sources include radar, radio, television, telecommunication links and mobile phones.

  • Page 16: Important Notes

    Important Notes The dish used to cook or reheat the food will get warm during cooking, as the heat conducts from the food. Even in microwaving, oven gloves are required! MICROWAVES CANNOT PASS THROUGH METAL AND THEREFORE METAL COOKING UTENSILS CAN NEVER BE USED IN A MICROWAVE, FOR COOKING ON MICROWAVE ONLY Foods Not Suitable for Cooking by Microwave Only: Yorkshire Puddings, Souffles, Double Crust Pastry Pies.

    Containers to use Choosing the correct container is a very important factor in deciding the success or failure of your cooking. Testing Dishes for Suitability - For Microwave Cooking Only. When unsure that a cooking container is suitable for use in your microwave, check by the following test: 1.
  • Page 21 Containers to use POTTERY, EARTHENWARE, STONEWARE If completely glazed, these dishes are suitable. Do not use if partially glazed or unglazed, since they are able to absorb water which in turn absorbs microwave energy, making the container very hot and slows down the cooking of food.

  • Page 22: Containers To Use

    Containers to use PLASTIC Many plastic containers are designed for microwave use, but do not use for cooking foods high in sugar or fat or for foods that require long cooking times e.g. brown rice. Only use Tupperware ® containers if they are designed for microwave use.
