Why do eggs sometimes burst?
•
When baking or cooking eggs the yolk may burst because there is steam emerging in
the yolk membrane. To avoid this, pierce the egg with a
toothpick before cooking. Never
cook eggs without piercing the shell!!
Why is there lag time recommended after the cooking ends?
•
The lag time is very important. When cooking food in MW oven, heat emerges in the
food, not in the oven. There emerges enough inner heat in many foods to continue the
process of cooking even after removing the food from the oven. The purpose of the lag
time with bigger pieces of meat, bigger pieces of vegetable and pies is to enable the
inside of the food to cook through evenly without overcooking the outer parts.
Why does the microwave oven not always cook as fast as the instructions for
preparing food state?
•
Read the recipe once again to make sure that you have kept all instructions thoroughly
and learn what may have caused the difference in preparation times. Preparation times
and set temperatures are recommended values which should prevent over-cooking
which is one of the most common problems of beginners when using the MW oven.
Differences in terms of size, shape, weight, dimensions and temperature of the food will
require longer or shorter time of preparation. Use your own judgment and recommended
values to verify if the food has been prepared thoroughly just you would have prepared it
with conventional cooking.
Why is there sparkling and crackling (electric arc) in the MW oven?
•
You are using dishes with metal parts or decorations (silver or gold). You left a
fork or
another metal object in the oven. You are using too much of metal foil. You are using
metal clips. There are remains of food in the MW oven.
XI. MAINTENANCE
Disconnect the appliance from the el. outlet by pulling the fork of the supply cord from the
socket before maintenance! Keep the inner surfaces of the MW clean and dry in order
that no sediments of grease and food particles occurs. In general the MW oven should be
cleaned every time it has been used.
Inner walls
Remove all remains of food between door and MW oven with a
damp cloth. This area
must be cleaned very thoroughly in order that the door can be closed properly. Remove all
grease stains with a
damp cloth then wipe and dry the walls. Do not use cleaning agents
which are rough and abrasive because they will scratch and damage the surface of the
MW oven.
Remove the
smells
from the inside of the oven by placing a
microwaveable dish
with water with lemon juice squeezed from one lemon with skin and letting the microwaves
work on it. Wipe and dry the inside of the oven afterwards.
ATTENTION:
Never pour water into the MW oven!
