CHAPTER 4 – USING THE OVEN: SUGGESTIONS AND COOK CHARTS 4.1 DEFROSTING • Frozen food in plastic bags, plastic film or cardboard packets can be placed directly in the oven for defrosting as long as the packet has no metal parts (e.g. metal twist ties or staples). -
Page 25: Reheating
4.2 REHEATING Reheating food is one of the modes in which your microwave oven displays all its usefulness and efficiency. Compared to tra- ditional methods, using a microwave obviously saves time and therefore electricity. • It is advisable to reheat food (especially if it is frozen) to a temperature of at least 70°C (it must be piping hot). This means the food will not be ready to eat immediately because it is too hot!) but it will be completely sterilised. -
Page 26: Cooking Starters, Pasta And Entrees
Salt must be added only at the end of cooking or during standing time as it dehydrates the food. It is fair to say that the time needed to cook rice in the microwave oven (as indeed for pasta) is more or less equal to that needed to cook it on a stove in the traditional manner. -
