Microwave oven use

How a microwave oven works
Microwaves are high-frequency electromagnetic waves; the energy released enables food to be cooked or reheated without changing either the form or the color.

You can use your microwave oven to:

Defrost
Reheat
Cook

Cooking principle

The microwaves generated by the magnetron are reflected in the cavity and are distributed uniformly as the food rotates on the turntable. The food is thus cooked evenly.
The microwaves are absorbed by the food up to a depth of about 1 inch (2.5 cm). Cooking then continues as the heat is dissipated within the food.
Cooking times vary according to the container used and the properties of the food:
- Quantity and density
- Water content
- Initial temperature (refrigerated or not)

NOTE
As the center of the food is cooked by heat dissipation, cooking continues even when you have taken the food out of the microwave oven. Standing times specified in recipes and this booklet must therefore be respected to ensure:

Even cooking the food right to the center.
The same temperature throughout the food.

Checking that your oven is operating correctly
The following simple procedure enables you to check that your oven is working correctly at all times. If you are in doubt, refer to the section entitled “Troubleshooting”.

NOTE
The oven must be plugged into an appropriate wall socket. The turntable must be in position in the oven. If a power level other than the maximum (100 % – 1000 W) is used, the water takes longer to boil.

Power level	Percentage (%)	Output (W)
FULL	100	1000
HIGH	70	700
MEDIUM-HIGH	60	600

Cookware Guide

To cook food in the microwave oven, the microwaves must be able to penetrate the food, without being reflected or absorbed by the dish used.
Care must therefore be taken when choosing the cookware. If the cookware is marked microwave-safe, you do not need to worry.
The following table lists various types of cookware and indicates whether and how they should be used in a microwave oven.

Cooking guide

Microwaves

Microwave energy penetrates food, attracted and absorbed by its water, fat, and sugar content.
The microwaves cause the molecules in the food to move rapidly. The rapid movement of these molecules creates friction and the resulting heat cooks the food.

Cooking

Cookware for microwave cooking:
Cookware must allow microwave energy to pass through it for maximum efficiency. Microwaves are reflected by metal, such as stainless steel, aluminum, and copper, but they can penetrate through ceramic, glass, porcelain, and plastic as well as paper and wood. So food must never be cooked in metal containers.
Food suitable for microwave cooking:
Many kinds of food are suitable for microwave cooking, including fresh or frozen vegetables, fruit, pasta, rice, grains, beans, fish, and meat. Sauces, custard, soups, steamed puddings, preserves, and chutneys can also be cooked in a microwave oven. Generally speaking, microwave cooking is ideal for any food that would normally be prepared on a hob. Melting butter or chocolate, for example (see the chapter with tips, techniques, and hints).
Covering during cooking
Cover the food during cooking is very important, as the evaporated water rises as steam and contributes to the cooking process. Food can be covered in different ways: e.g. with a ceramic plate, plastic cover, or microwave- suitable cling film.
Standing times
After cooking is over food the standing time is important to allow the temperature to even out within the food.

Cooking guide for frozen vegetables

Use a suitable glass Pyrex bowl with a lid. Cook covered for the minimum time – see table. Continue cooking to get the result you prefer.
Stir twice during cooking and once after cooking. Add salt, herbs, or butter after cooking. Cover during standing time.

Reheating

Your microwave oven will reheat food in a fraction of the time that conventional ovens and hobs normally take.
Use the power levels and reheating times in the following chart as a guide. The times in the chart consider liquids with a room temperature of about +18 to +20 °C or a chilled food with a temperature of about +5 to +7 °C.

Arranging and covering
Avoid reheating large items such as joints of meat – they tend to overcook and dry out before the center is piping hot. Reheating small pieces will be more successful.

Power levels and stirring

Some foods can be reheated using 1000 W power while others should be reheated using 600 W, 450 W, or even 300 W.
Check the tables for guidance. In general, it is better to reheat food using a lower power level, if the food is delicate, in large quantities, or if it is likely to heat very quickly (mince pies, for example).
Stir well or turn food over during reheating for best results. When possible, stir again before serving.
Take particular care when heating liquids and baby foods. To prevent eruptive boiling of liquids and possible scalding, stir before, during, and after heating. Keep them in the microwave oven during standing time. We recommend putting a plastic spoon or glass stick into the liquids. Avoid overheating (and therefore spoiling) the food.
It is preferable to underestimate cooking time and add extra heating time, if necessary.

Heating and standing times

When reheating food for the first time, it is helpful to make a note of the time taken – for future reference.
Always make sure that the reheated food is piping hot throughout.
Allow food to stand for a short time after reheating – to let the temperature even out.
The recommended standing time after reheating is 2-4 minutes unless another time is recommended in the chart.
Take particular care when heating liquids and baby food. See also the chapter with the safety precautions.

Reheating liquids

Always allow a standing time of at least 20 seconds after the microwave oven has been switched off to allow the temperature to even out. Stir during heating, if necessary, and ALWAYS stir after heating.
To prevent eruptive boiling and possible scalding, you should put a spoon or glass stick into the beverages and stir before, during, and after heating.

Reheating baby food

Baby food
Empty into a deep ceramic plate. Cover with a plastic lid. Stir well after reheating! Let stand for 2-3 minutes before serving. Stir again and check the temperature. Recommended serving temperature: between 30-40 °C.
Baby milk
Pour milk into a sterilized glass bottle. Reheat uncovered. Never heat a baby’s bottle with the teat on, as the bottle may explode if overheated. Shake well before standing time and again before serving! Always carefully check the temperature of baby milk or food before giving it to the baby. Recommended serving temperature: ca. 37 °C.
Remark
Baby food particularly needs to be checked carefully before serving to prevent burns. Use the power levels and times in the next table as a guideline for reheating.

Defrosting

Microwaves are an excellent way of defrosting frozen food. Microwaves gently defrost frozen food in a short period. This can be of great advantage if unexpected guests suddenly show up.
Frozen poultry must be thoroughly thawed before cooking. Remove any metal ties and take it out of any wrapping to allow thawed liquid to drain away.
Put the frozen food on a dish without cover. Turn over halfway, drain off any liquid, and remove any giblets as soon as possible. Check the food occasionally to make sure that it does not feel warm.
If smaller and thinner parts of the frozen food start to warm up, they can be shielded by wrapping very small strips of aluminum foil around them during defrosting. Should poultry start to warm up on the outer surface, stop thawing and allow it to stand for 20 minutes before continuing. Leave the fish, meat, and poultry to stand to complete defrosting. The standing time for complete defrosting will vary depending on the quantity defrosted. Please refer to the table below.

Hint:
Flat food defrosts better than thick and smaller quantities need less time than bigger ones. Remember this hint while freezing and defrosting food.

For defrosting of frozen food with a temperature of about -18 to -20 °C, use the following table as a guide.
