Important
If the recommended cooking time
is exceeded the food will be
spoiled and in extreme
circumstances could catch fire
and possibly damage the interior
of the oven.
Short cooking time
As microwave cooking time is
much shorter than other cooking
methods it is essential that
recommended cooking time is not
exceeded without first checking the
food.
Cooking time given in the
cookbook is approximate. Factors
that may affect cooking time are:
preferred degree of cooking,
starting temperature, altitude,
volume, size and shape of foods
and utensils used. As you become
familiar with the oven, you will be
able to adjust these factors.
It is better to undercook rather than
overcook foods. If food is
undercooked, it can always be
returned to the oven for further
cooking. If food is overcooked,
nothing can be done. Always start
with minimum cooking time.
Small quantities of food
Take care when heating small
quantities of food as these can
easily burn, dry out or catch fire if
cooked too long. Always set short
cooking time and check the food
frequently.
Foods low in moisture
Take care when heating foods low
in moisture, e.g. bread items,
chocolate, popcorn, biscuits and
pastries. These can easily burn,
dry out or catch on fire if cooked
too long. We do not recommend
heating foods low in moisture such
as popcorn or poppadoms.
This oven has been developed for
food use.
We do not recommend that it is used
for heating non food items such as
wheat bags or hot water bottles.
Reheating
It is essential that reheated food is
served “piping hot”.
Remove the food from the oven
and check that it is “piping hot”, i.e.
steam is being emitted from all
parts and any sauce is bubbling. (If
you wish you may choose to check
the food has reached 72 °C with a
food thermometer – but remember
do not use this thermometer inside
the microwave.)
For foods that cannot be stirred,
e.g. lasagne, shepherds pie, the
centre should be cut with a knife to
test it is well heated through. Even if
a manufacturer’s packet instructions
have been followed always check
the food is piping hot before serving
and if in doubt return your food to
the oven for further heating.
Standing time
Standing time refers to the period
at the end of cooking or reheating
when food is left before being
eaten, i.e. it is a rest time which
allows the heat in the food to
continue to conduct to the centre,
thus eliminating cold spots.
