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.
CF778S_BP_Regs:F00037Q78BP 26/2/13 09:10 Page 16 Important Information – Read Carefully 7. Lids. Always remove the lids of jars and containers and takeaway food containers before you microwave them. If you donʼt then steam and pressure might build up inside and cause an explosion even after the microwave cooking has stopped. 8. Deep Fat Frying. Do not attempt to deep fat fry in your oven. 9. Meat Thermometer.

CF778S_BP_Regs:F00037Q78BP 26/2/13 09:10 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 car phones.
CF778S_BP_Regs:F00037Q78BP 26/2/13 09:10 Page 19 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.
CF778S_BP_Regs:F00037Q78BP 26/2/13 09:10 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. • Meat Joints – Stand 15 mins. wrapped in aluminium foil. • Jacket Potatoes – Stand 5 mins. wrapped in aluminium foil when cooked by microwave only. It is not necessary to stand jacket potatoes cooked in COMBINATION mode.
CF778S_BP_Regs:F00037Q78BP 26/2/13 09:10 Page 21 General Guidelines Piercing Moisture Content The skin or membrane on some foods will cause steam to build up during cooking. These foods must be pierced or a strip of skin should be peeled off before cooking to allow the steam to escape. Eggs, potatoes, apples, sausages etc, will all need to be pierced before cooking. DO NOT ATTEMPT TO BOIL EGGS IN THEIR SHELLS. Many fresh foods e.g.
CF778S_BP_Regs:F00037Q78BP 26/2/13 09:10 Page 22 General Guidelines Quantity Density Small quantities cook faster than large quantities, also small meals will reheat more quickly than large portions. Porous airy foods heat more quickly than dense heavy foods. Shape Arranging Even shapes cook evenly. Individual foods e.g. chicken portions or chops, should be placed on a dish so that the thicker parts are to the outside. Spacing Ingredients Foods cook more quickly and evenly if spaced apart.
CF778S_BP_Regs:F00037Q78BP 26/2/13 09:11 Page 23 General Guidelines Starting Temperature Covering 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 5-8ºC before cooking. Cover foods with microwave cling film or a self-fitting lid. Cover fish, vegetables, casseroles, soups. Do not cover cakes, sauces, jacket potatoes, pastry items.
CF778S_BP_Regs:F00037Q78BP 26/2/13 09:11 Page 24 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 300ml (½ pt) cold water. 2. Place it on the base of the oven alongside the dish to be tested.
CF778S_BP_Regs:F00037Q78BP 26/2/13 09:11 Page 25 Containers to use Pottery, Earthenware, Stoneware Foil/Metal Containers 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.
CF778S_BP_Regs:F00037Q78BP 26/2/13 09:11 Page 26 Containers to use Wicker, Wood, Straw Baskets Aluminium Foil Dishes will crack and could ignite. Do not use wooden dishes in your microwave. DO NOT USE ON ANY COOKING MODE. Roasting bags are useful when slit up one side to tent a joint, for roasting by power and time. Do not use the metal twists supplied, when using Microwave or Combination.

CF778S_BP_Regs:F00037Q78BP 26/2/13 09:11 Page 32 Auto Weight Defrost Programs This feature allows you to defrost minced meat, chops, chicken portions, meat joints and bread. The CHAOS defrost pad and then the Auto Menu/Temperature Dial should be turned to select the correct defrost category and then enter in the weight of the food in grams (see page 31). Foods should be placed in a suitable dish, whole chickens and joints of meat should be on an upturned saucer or on a microwave safe rack.
CF778S_BP_Regs:F00037Q78BP 26/2/13 09:11 Page 33 Auto Weight Defrost Programs CHAOS DEFROST Category 1 Bread The Bread Program is suitable for defrosting small items e.g. rolls, buns and slices of bread which are required for immediate use. Small items may feel warm immediately after defrosting. Loaves can also be defrosted on this program but these will require standing time to allow the centre to thaw out. Standing time can be shortened if slices are separated and buns and loaves cut in half.
CF778S_BP_Regs:F00037Q78BP 26/2/13 09:11 Page 34 Defrosting Guidelines By selecting the DEFROST power level from the microwave power pad and setting a time, you can defrost food in your microwave. The biggest problem is getting the inside defrosted before the outside starts to cook. For this reason a defrost program alternates between a defrost power and a standing time. The name for this type of defrost is cyclic.

Convection, Grill and Microwave COMBINATION cooking is ideal for many foods. The microwave power cooks them quickly, whilst the oven, grill or both gives the traditional browning and crispness. All this happens simultaneously resulting in most foods being cooked in 1/2 - 2/3 of the conventional cooking time.

Casseroles, meat joints, jacket potatoes and pastries are very successful using this combination. Unsuitable foods are those which contain whisked eggs, meringues, rich fruit cakes, biscuits and yorkshire puddings. It is not necessary to preheat on combination except when cooking pastry dishes, to achieve a better result.
