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. See page 21. 13. Keeping your oven clean. It is essential for the safe operation of the oven that it is wiped out regularly.
IP4979_37X69BP_Eng_01_140911:E00036R20BP Qk4 2014/9/11 15:50 Page 18 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. How Microwaves cook food Reflection The microwaves bounce off the metal walls and the metal door screen.
IP4979_37X69BP_Eng_01_140911:E00036R20BP Qk4 2014/9/11 15:50 Page 20 General guidelines Standing time Dense foods e.g. meat, jacket potatoes and cakes, require a STANDING TIME (inside or outside of the oven) after cooking, to allow heat to finish conducting through the food. Jacket potatoes Wrapped in aluminium foil when cooked by microwave only. It is not necessary to stand jacket potatoes cooked in COMBINATION mode. Stand for 15 mins. Fish Stand for 2-3 mins. Egg dishes Stand for 1-2 mins.
IP4979_37X69BP_Eng_01_140911:E00036R20BP Qk4 2014/9/11 15:50 Page 21 General guidelines Dish size Starting temperature Follow the dish sizes given in the recipes, as these affect the cooking and reheating times. A quantity of food spread in a bigger dish cooks and reheats more quickly. The colder the food, the longer it takes to heat up. Food from a fridge takes longer to reheat than food at room temperature. Food temperature should be between 5-8 °C before cooking.
IP4979_37X69BP_Eng_01_140911:E00036R20BP Qk4 2014/9/11 15:50 Page 22 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. Fill a microwave safe measuring jug with 300 ml (½ pt) cold water. 2. Place it on the base of the oven along side the dish to be tested.
IP4979_37X69BP_Eng_01_140911:E00036R20BP Qk4 2014/9/11 15:50 Page 23 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. Do not use Melamine. Never cook in margarine cartons or yoghurt pots, as these will melt with the heat from the food.

Panacrunch Pan The ‘concept’ Notes: Some foods cooked by microwave can have soft and soggy crusts. Your panacrunch pan accessory will brown and crisp pizzas, quiches, pies, breaded products. Your Panasonic panacrunch pan works in three ways: heating the pan by absorbing microwaves, heating the food directly by microwaves and heating the food by Grill/Convection. The base of the pan absorbs the microwaves and transfers them into heat. Then the heat is conducted through the pan to the food.
