R-206 New style OM(3.3) 03.6.2 5:45 PM Page 10 A39887,R206 O/M MICROWAVE COOKING ADVICE Many of the following techniques are similar to those used in conventional cooking. Microwaves cook food faster than conventional cooking. It is therefore essential that certain techniques are followed to ensure good results. COOKING ADVICE NOTES: • Always attend the oven when in use. • Ensure that the utensils are suitable for use in a microwave oven. (See “Suitable Cookware” on page 12).
R-206 New style OM(3.3) 03.6.2 5:45 PM Page 11 A39887,R206 O/M MICROWAVE COOKING ADVICE Food Characteristics Composition Foods high in fat or sugar (e.g. Christmas pudding, mince pies) require less heating time. Care should be taken as overheating can lead to fire. Bones in food conduct heat, making the food cook more quickly. Care must be taken so that the food is cooked evenly. Density Food density will affect the amount of cooking time needed.
R-206 New style OM(3.3) 03.6.2 5:45 PM Page 12 A39887,R206 O/M SUITABLE COOKWARE Round/oval dishes are preferable to square/oblong ones, as the food in the corners tends to overcook. A variety of cookware can be used as listed below. To cook/defrost food in a microwave oven, the microwave energy must be able to pass through the container to penetrate the food. Therefore it is important to choose suitable cookware.
R-206 New style OM(3.3) 03.6.2 5:45 PM Page 13 A39887,R206 O/M DEFROSTING ADVICE Defrosting food using your microwave oven is the quickest method of all. It is a simple proccess but the following instructions are essential to ensure the food is thoroughly defrosted. Rearrange Foods that are placed towards the outside of the dish will defrost quicker than foods in the centre. It is therefore essential that the food is rearranged up to 4 times during defrosting.
R-206 New style OM(3.3) 03.6.2 5:45 PM Page 14 A39887,R206 O/M REHEATING ADVICE For the reheating of foods, follow the advice and guidelines below to ensure food is thoroughly reheated before serving.
