ADAPTING RECIPES FOR THE
MICROWAVE OVEN
If you would like to adapt your favourite recipes for the
microwave, you should take note of the following:
Shorten cooking times by a third to a half. Follow the
example of the recipes in this cookery book. Foods
which have a high moisture content such as meat, fish,
poultry, vegetables, fruit, stews and soups can be
prepared in your microwave without any difficulty.
Foods which have little moisture, such as platters of
food, should have the surface moistened prior to
heating or cooking.
The amount of liquid to be added to raw foods, which
are to be braised, should be reduced to about two
thirds of the quantity in the original recipe.
If necessary, add more liquid during cooking.
The amount of fat to be added can be reduced
considerably. A small amount of butter, margarine or
oil is sufficient to flavour food. For this reason your
microwave is excellent for preparing low-fat foods as
part of a diet.
HOW TO USE THE RECIPES
●
All the recipes in this cooker y book are
calculated on the basis of 4 servings - unless
otherwise stated.
●
Recommendations relating to suitable utensils
and the total cooking times are given at the
beginning of every recipe.
●
As a rule the quantities shown are assumed to
be wholly consumable, unless specifically
indicated otherwise.
●
When eggs are given in the recipes they are
assumed to have weight of approx. 55 g
(medium).
FOR COMBINED OPERATION
In general the same rules apply as for microwave
operation. The following additional tips should be
borne in mind:
1. The microwave power setting must match the
type of food and the cooking time. Consult the
recipes in this cookbook.
2. When preparing food in microwave-grill
combination mode remember that microwave
times are longer for large, bulky food, such as
roast pork, than for small flat food. As far as
grilling is concerned the situation is quite the
opposite. The nearer the food is to the grill, the
quicker it browns. This means that when you
cook large pieces of meat, for example, in
combination mode, the grilling time needs to be
shorter than for smaller pieces of meat.
3. Use the high rack for normal grilling to get quick
and even browning (exceptions are large, bulky
foods and puddings, which are also grilled on
the bottom rack).
