General information
About Your Microwave Oven
Microwave cooking is very quick and efficient. Microwave cooking
can also help preserve the minerals and vitamins in many foods.
Because the temperature in a microwave oven is relatively cool
(unlike a normal oven) you have to remember that the food can be
extremely hot. Always take precautions when handling containers.
Cooking In your Oven
Your oven can carry out a number of cooking processes.
Basic Microwave Cooking
•
Basic Grilling
•
Microwave/Grill combination cooking
•
In this last process, food is partially cooked by microwaves and
then finished by grilling. This accelerates the cooking process whilst
maintaining the finish and texture of traditionally cooked foods.
Suitable and unsuitable containers
Some basic guidelines are given in the table below.
(*Combination refers to mic grill cooking)
Use heat resistant porcelain, glass or plastic containers made for
microwave ovens, otherwise there is a risk of shrinking, deforming or
burning. Metal containers, or containers having metal decoration or
trim are not suitable for use with your microwave oven.
When you are combination cooking, the container must be fully
heatproof as well as suitable for microwave cooking.
Avoid containers which narrow at the top as these may cause the
contents to erupt when removed from the oven.
Tesco stores stock a wide range of microwave containers and wraps
designed for microwave ovens. Plastic films should not touch food as
they may gas, melt or break down when hot and contaminate food.
Wax paper, oven cooking bags, parchment paper and white
microwave paper towels are safe for microwave use. Wooden objects
may catch fire - so avoid their use.
Do not use aluminium foil for microwave cooking unless the recipe
requires it. Keep foil at least 25mm away from the oven walls. Metal
skewers, ties, etc. should be removed from food before cooking.
Radio Interference:
Operation of the microwave oven can cause interference to your
radio, TV or similar equipment. When there is interference, it may be
reduced or eliminated by taking the following measures:
Clean the door and sealing surface of the oven.
•
Reorient the receiving antenna of radio or television.
•
Relocate the microwave oven with respect to the receiver.
•
Move the microwave oven away from the receiver.
