OTHER HELPFUL INSTRUCTIONS
For best results and more enjoyable cooking, please read these comments thoroughly.
For Best Results:
1. When determining the time for a particular food, begin by using short times and checking
the cooking process frequently. It is easy to overcook food because microwaves cook very
quickly.
2. Small quantities of food, or foods with low water content may dry out and become hard if
cooked too long.
Defrosting Frozen Food:
1. Foods that have been frozen can be placed directly in the oven for thawing. (Be certain to
remove any metallic ties or wraps).
2. Defrost according to the Defrosting Tips found in this manual.
3. For areas of the food thawing faster than others, cover with small pieces of aluminium foil.
This helps slow down or stop the defrosting process in the covered areas.
4. Some foods should not be completely thawed before cooking. For example, fish cooks so
quickly that it is sometimes better to begin cooking while still slightly frozen.
5. It may be necessary to increase or decrease the cooking time in some recipes, depending
on the starting temperature of the food.
NOTE:
Air from the vent may become warm during cooking.
Browning:
There are a few foods which are not cooked long enough in the microwave oven to brown
and may need additional colour.
Coatings such as paprika, and browning agents such as Worcestershire sauce may be used
on chops, meat patties or chicken pieces.
Roasts, poultry or ham, cooked for 10-15 minutes or longer, will brown without extra additives
when cooking in combination mode.
