18MICROWAVING PRINCIPLESMicrowave energy has been used in this country to cook and reheat food since early experiments with RADARin World War ll. Microwaves are present in the atmosphere all the time, both naturally and manmade sources.Manmade sources include radar, radio, television, telecommunication links and car phones.CONVERSION CHARTSWEIGHT MEASURES15 g 1/2oz.25 g 1 oz.50 g 2 oz.100 g 4 oz.175 g 6 oz.225 g 8 oz.450 g 1 lb.HOW MICROWAVES COOK FOODMicrowave oven is a Group 2 ISM equipment in which radiofrequency energy is intentionally generated and usedin the form of electromagnetic radiation for the treatment of material. This oven is a Class B equipment suitablefor use in domestic establishments and in establishments directly connected to a low voltage power supplynetwork which supplies buildings used for domestic purposes.VOLUME MEASURES30 ml 1 fl.oz.100 ml 3 fl.oz.150 ml 5 fl.oz.

Thisheat then cooks the food. Microwaves are alsoattracted to fat and sugar particles, and foods highin these will cook more quickly. Microwaves canonly penetrate to a depth of 11/2- 2 inches(4-5cm)and as heat spreads through the food byconduction, just as in a traditional oven, the foodcooks from the outside inwards.In a microwave oven, electricity is converted intomicrowave by the MAGNETRON.The microwavesbounce off the metalwalls and the metaldoor screen.REFLECTIONTRANSMISSIONABSORPTIONMicrowave Water Molecule Absorption VibrationCEILING COVEROven CavityGuideWaveTRAYMagnetron
19STANDING TIMEDense foods e.g. meat, jacket potatoes and cakes,require standing time(inside or outside of the oven)after cooking, to allow heat to finish conducting tocook the center completely. Wrap meat joints andjacket potatoes in aluminium foil while standing.Meat joints need approx. 10-15 minutes, jacketpotatoes 5 minutes. Other foods such as platedmeal, vegetables, fish etc require 2-5 minutesstanding. After defrosting food, standing timeshould also be allowed. If food is not cooked afterstanding time, return to the oven and cook foradditional time.MOISTURE CONTENTMany fresh foods e.g. vegetables and fruit, vary intheir moisture content throughout the season,particularly jacket potatoes. For this reason cookingtimes may have to be adjusted. Dry ingredients e.g.rice, pasta, can dry out during storage so cookingtimes may differ.DENSITYPorous airy foods heat more quickly than denseheavy foods.CLING FILMCling film helps keep the food moist and thetrapped steam assists in speeding up cookingtimes. Pierce before cooking to allow excess steamto escape. Always take care when removing clingfilm from a dish as the build-up of steam will bevery hot.SHAPEEven shapes cook evenly. Food cooks better bymicrowave when in a round container rather thansquare.SPACINGFoods cook more quickly and evenly if spacedapart. NEVER pile foods on top of each other.STARTING TEMPERATUREThe colder the food, the longer it takes to heat up.Food from a fridge takes longer to reheat than foodat room temperature.LIQUIDSAll liquids must be stirred before and duringheating. Water especially must be stirred beforeand during heating, to avoid eruption. Do not heatliquids that have previously been boiled. DO NOTOVERHEAT.TURNING & STIRRINGSome foods require stirring during cooking. Meatand poultry should be turned after half the cookingtime.ARRANGINGIndividual foods e.g. chicken portions or chops,should be placed on a dish so that the thicker partsare towards the outside.QUANTITYSmall quantities cook faster than large quantities,also small meals will reheat more quickly than largeportions.PIERCINGThe skin or membrane on some foods will causesteam to build up during cooking. These foodsmust be pierced or a strip of skin should be peeledoff before cooking to allow the steam to escape.Eggs, potatoes, apples, sausages etc, will all needto be pierced before cooking. DO NOT ATTEMPTTO BOIL EGGS IN THEIR SHELLS.COVERINGCover foods with microwave cling film or a lid.Cover fish, vegetables, casseroles, soups. Do notcover cakes, sauces, jacket potatoes or pastryitems.COOKING TECHNIQUES
20GENERAL INFORMATION➪Put the food on a microwave rack (roasts, bone-in pieces) or in a microwave casserole (small pieces suchas cubes or strips) or weigh at home on a kitchen scale. Round number to the nearest tenth of a poundand choose that number with each item pads.➪The shape of food items, especially larger ones, will vary affect the way defrost. Always check the statusafter the standing time. Fish, seafood and poultry should still be somewhat icy in the center the held undercold running water to finish defrosting. If more time is needed, use DEFROST by time to add time in smallincrements.➪Halfway through the defrosting process, a series of beeps will indicate that it is time to change the positionof the item being defrosted. The includes turning over or rotating the item, separating defrosted pieces orsections, or shielding.➪Shielding means to use a 2-inch strip of aluminum foil to protect thinner or unevenly shaped part frombeginning to cook. Microwave energy will not penetrate the foil. Some rules apply to the use of foil:Do not let the foil pieces touch each other or the sides of the microwave oven.Be sure that all ends are touched under and lie flat to the food.Remember to adjust foil when a item is turned over and cover with wax paper.➪To prepare food for freezer storage(and later defrosting), wrap tightly in moisture proof packaging.If using freezer plastic bags, be sure to let all the air out to prevent freezer bump on the food.Package so that food is as evenly shaped as possible ease in defrosting.DEFROSTING GUIDE
21DEFROST AND COOKING CHARTThe times given in the following charts are a guideline only.Many factors e.g. starting temperature of the food can affect the final heating time required.

26BEFORE YOU CALL FOR SERVICERefer to following checklist, you may prevent an unnecessary service call.* The oven doesn't work;1. Check that the power cord is securely plugged in.2. Check that the door firmly closed.3. Check that the cooking time is set.4. Check for a blown circuit fuse or tripped main circuit breaker in your house.* Sparking in the cavity;1. Check that utensils are metal containers or dishes with metal trim.2. Check that metal skewers touch the interior walls.If there is still a problem, contact the service station.A list of these stations is included in the oven.QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS* Q : I accidentally ran my microwave oven without any food in it. Is it damaged?* A : Running the oven empty for a short time will not damage the oven. However, it is not recommended.* Q : Can I open the door when the oven is operating?* A :The door can be opened anytime during the cooking operation. Then microwave energy will be instantlyswitched off and the time setting will maintain until the door is closed and START is touched.* Q : Why do I have moisture in my microwave oven after cooking?* A : The moisture on the side of your microwave oven is normal. It is caused by steam form cooking foodheating the cool oven surface.* Q : Dose microwave energy pass through the viewing screen in the door?* A : No. The metal screen bounces back the energy to the oven cavity. The holes are made to allow light to pass through. They do not let microwave energy pass through.* Q : Why do eggs sometimes pop?* A : When baking or poaching eggs, the yolk may pop due to steam build-up inside the yolk membrane.To prevent this, simply pierce the yolk with a toothpick before cooking.

27QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS (continued)* Q : Why is standing time recommended after the cooking operation has been completed?* A : Standing time is very important.With microwave cooking, the heat is in the food, not in the oven. Many foods build up enough internalheat to allow the cooking process to continue, even after the food is removed from the oven. Standingtime for joints of meat, large vegetables and cakes allows the inside to cook completely, withoutovercooking the outside.* Q : What does “standing time” mean?* A : “Standing time” means that food should be removed from the oven and covered for additional time toallow it to finish cooking. This frees the oven for other cooking.* Q : Why does my oven not always cook as fast as the microwave cooking guide says?* A : Check your cooking guide again, to make sure you’ve followed directions exactly ; and to see whatmight cause variations in cooking time. Cooking guide times and heat settings are suggestions, tohelp prevent over-cooking... the most common problem in getting used to a microwave oven.Variations in the size, shape and weights and dimensions could require longer cooking time.
