Microwave Cooking Techniques

Arrange food carefully

Place thickest areas toward outside of dish.

Cook for the shortest amount of time indicated and add more time

Watch cooking time

as needed.

Food severely overcooked can smoke or ignite.

Check recipe for suggestions: paper towels, microwave plastic

wrap or a lid.

Cover foods before cooking

Covers prevent spattering and help foods to cook evenly.

(Helps keep oven clean)

Use small pieces of aluminium foil to cover thin areas of meat or

Shield foods

Foods such as chicken, hamburgers or steaks should be turned

Turn foods

over once during cooking.

Like meatballs halfway through cooking both from top to bottom

Rearrange foods

and from the center of the dish to the outside.

After cooking ensure adequate standing time.

Remove food from oven and stir if possible.

Allow standing time

Cover during standing time can allow the food to finish cooking

completely.

Look for signs indicating that cooking temperature has been

reached. Doneness signs include:

Steam emits throughout the food, not just at edge;

Check for doneness

Joints of poultry can be torn apart easily;

Pork and poultry show no pinkness;

Fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.

A normal part of microwave cooking. The humidity and moisture

in food will influence the amount of moisture in the oven. Gener-

Condensation

ally, covered foods will not cause as much condensation as

uncovered foods. Ensure that the ventilation openings are not

blocked.

Microwave safe plastic wrap

For cooking food with high fat content, do not bring the wrap in

contact with the food as it may melt.

Microwave safe plastic

Some microwave safe plastic cookware are not suitable for cook-

cookware

ing foods with high fat and sugar content.

3. You can get a cooking hint whenever HELP is lit in the display. See page E-39.

4. This function can be used with Auto Start. See page E-37.

SPECIAL NOTES ON SLOW COOKING

For better cooking result, always try to:

1. Cut the ingredients into smaller pieces.

2. Add in adequate liquid medium (eg: water, sauce) and try to submerge the ingredients into the liquid medium

in order to avoid scorching. This is especially important when stew or chicken soup is prepared.

3. When soup or large quantity is prepared, make sure that the water level is at least 3.8cm from the rim of

casserole, otherwise spill over may result.

4. Do not add too much seasonings or salt at the initial stage of cooking. Try to add (especially salt) soon after

or just after finish.

5. Cook with the casserole lid on. Also please do not open the lid during cooking as this may disturb the cooking

sequence.

6. Stir and stand for 10 minutes after cooking.

Convection Cooking

Your oven has 10 preset convection temperatures (250, 230, 220, 200, 180, 160, 130, 100, 70, 40°C). When

you press the CONVEC pad once, 250°C will be selected. To lower the temperature, press the CONVEC

pad until the desired temperature appears in the display.

Please consult your Convection Microwave Cookbook for more specific cooking instructions and

procedures.

Recommended Utensils: Metal turntable High rack Low rack

Baking-tin Aluminum foil container Heat resistant cookware

(1) To Cook by Convection

Your Convection Microwave Oven can be programmed for ten different convection cooking tempera-

tures up to 99 seconds.

Helpful Hints:

1. Foods may be cooked either directly on turntable, or using the high or low racks.

2. Do not cover high rack or low rack with aluminum foil. It interferes with the flow of air that

cooks food.

3. Round pizza trays are excellent cooking utensils for many convection-only items. Choose trays

that do not have extended handles.

4. If you are cooking and wish to check the temperature you have programmed, simply press the

CONVEC pad. The programmed temperature will be displayed as long as CONVEC pad is

pressed.

Warning:

The oven cavity, door, turntable, turntable support, racks, dishes and especially the bottom heater will

become very hot,

use thick oven gloves when putting/removing the food or turntable from the oven to

PREVENT BURNS.
