The advantages of microwaves

In conventional ovens, heat radiated by electrical

elements or gas burners slowly penetrates the

food from outside to inside. On account of this

there is a major amount of energy is wasted

heating the air, the oven components and the food

containers.

In a microwave oven, heat is generated by the

food itself and the heat travels from inside to

outside. No heat is lost to the air, the walls of the

oven cavity or the dishes and containers (if these

are suitable for use in microwave oven), in other

words, only the food is heated.

Microwave ovens have the following advantages:

1. Shorter cooking times; in general these are

up to 3/4 less than the time required for

conventional cooking.

2. Ultra-fast food defrosting, thus reducing the

danger of bacterial development.

3. Energy savings.

4. Conservation of the nutritional value of foods

due to the shorter cooking times.

5. Easy to clean.

How a microwave oven works

In a microwave oven there is a high tension valve

called a magnetron which converts electrical

energy into microwave energy. These

electromagnetic waves are channelled to the

interior of the oven through a wave guide and

distributed by a metallic spreader or through a

turntable.

Inside the oven the microwaves propagate in all

directions and are reflected by the metal walls,

uniformly penetrating the food.

Why food heats up

Most foods contain water and water molecules

vibrate when subjected to microwaves.

The friction between molecules produces heat

which raises the temperature of the food, de-

freezing it, cooking it or keeping it hot.

Since the heat arises inside the food:

 This can be cooked with little or no liquid or

fats/oils;

 De-freezing, heating or cooking in a

microwave oven is quicker than in a

conventional oven;

 The vitamins, minerals and nutritional

substances in the food are conserved;

 The natural colour and aroma of the food are

unchanged.

Microwaves pass through china, glass, cardboard

or plastic but do not go through metal. For this

reason, metal containers or ones with metal parts

must not be used in a microwave oven.

Microwaves are reflected by metal...

... but go through glass and china...

and are absorbed by foods.

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.

Cooking with the grill

For good results with the grill, use the grid iron

supplied with the oven.

Fit the grid iron in such a way that it doesn’t

come into contact with the metal surfaces of

the oven cavity since if it does there is a

danger of electric arcing which may damage

the oven.

IMPORTANT POINTS:

1. When the microwave grill is used for the first

time there will be some smoke and a smell

coming from the oils used during oven

manufacture.

2. The oven door window becomes very hot

when the grill is working. Keep children

away.

3. When the grill is operating, the cavity walls

and the grid iron become very hot. You

should use oven gloves.

4. If the grill is used for extended period of time

it is normal to find that the elements will

switch themselves off temporarily due to the

safety thermostat.

5. Important! When food is to be grilled or

cooked in containers you must check that

the container in question is suitable for

microwave use. See the section on types of

ovenware!

6. When the grill is used it is possible that some

splashes of fat may go onto the elements

and be burnt. This is a normal situation and

does not mean there is any kind of operating

fault.

7. After you have finished cooking, clean the

interior and the accessories so that cooking

remains do not become encrusted.

drop.

The times shown are merely indicative and can

vary as a function of the composition and quantity

of the food, as well as the final condition wished

for. Fish and meat taste great if, before grilling,

you brush them with vegetable oil, spices and

herbs and leave to marinate for a few hours. Only

add salt after grilling.

Sausages will not burst if you prick them with a

fork before grilling.

After half the grilling time has passed, check on

how the cooking is going and, if necessary, turn

the food over.

The grill is especially suitable for cooking thin

portions of meat and fish. Thin portions of meat

only need to be turned once, but thicker portions

should be turned several times.
