Cooking with a microwave oven
Warning! Read the section “Microwave Safety” before
cooking with your microwave.
Follow these recommendations when cooking with your
microwave:

Before heating or cooking foods with peel or skin (e.g.
apples, tomatoes, potatoes, sausages) prick them so
that they do not burst. Cut the food up before starting
to prepare it.

Before using a container or dish make sure that it is
suitable for microwave use (see the section on types
of ovenware).

When cooking food with very little moisture (e.g.
defrosting bread , making popcorn, etc.) evaporation
is very quick. The oven then works as if it was empty
and the food may burn. The oven and the container
may be damaged in such a situation. You should
therefore set just the cooking time necessary and you
must keep a close eye on the cooking process.

It is not possible to heat large quantities of oil ( frying )
in the microwave.

Remove pre-cooked food from the containers they
come in since these are not always heat resistant.
Follow the food manufacturer’s instructions.

If you have several containers , such as cups, for
example, set them out uniformly on the turntable plate.

Do not close plastic bags with metal clips. Use plastic
clips instead. Prick the bags several times so that the
steam can escape easily.

When heating or cooking foods, check that they reach
at least a temperature of 70°C .

During cooking, steam may form on the oven door
window and may start to drip. This situation is normal
and may be more noticeable if the room temperature
is low. The oven’s safe working is not affected by this.
After you have finished cooking, clean up the water
coming from the condensation

When heating liquids, use containers with a wide
opening , so that the steam can evaporate easily.
Prepare the foods as per the instructions and keep in mind
the cooking times and power levels indicated in the tables.
Keep in mind that the figures given are only indicative and
can vary depending on the initial state, temperature, moisture
and type of food. It is advisable to adjust the times and power
levels to each situation. Depending on the exact
characteristics of the food you may need to increase or
shorten the cooking times or increase or decrease the power
levels.
Cooling with microwaves...
1. The greater the amount of food, the longer the cooking
time. Keep in mind that:

Double the quantity » double the time

Half the quantity » half the time
2. The lower the temperature, the longer the cooking
time.
3. Foods containing a lot of liquid heat up more quickly.
4. Cooking will be more uniform if the food is evenly
distributed on the turntable. If you put dense foods on
the outside part of the plate and less dense ones on
the centre of the plate, you can heat up different types
of food simultaneously.
5. You can open the oven door at any time. When you do
this the oven switches off automatically. The
microwave will only start working again when you
close the door and press the start key.
6. Foods that are covered require less cooking time and
retain their characteristics better. The lids used must
let microwaves pass through and have small holes that
allow steam to escape.
