Microwave energy has been used in this country to cook and reheat food since early experiments with RADAR in World W ar II. Microwaves are present in the atmosphere all the time, both naturally and from manmade sources. Manmade sources include radar , radio, television, telecommunication links and car phones.
The dish used to cook or reheat the food will get warm during cooking, as the heat conducts from the food. Even in micro waving, oven gloves are required! MICROW A VES CANNOT P ASS THROUGH MET AL AND .
General Guidelines ST ANDING TIME Dense foods e.g. meat, jacket potatoes and cakes, require a ST ANDING TIME (inside or outside of the oven) after cook ing, to allow heat to finish con ducting through the food. • Meat Joints – Stand 15 mins. wrapped in aluminium foil.
Piercing The skin or membrane on some foods will cause steam to build up during cooking. These foods must be pierced or a strip of skin should be peeled off before cooking to allow the steam to escape. Eggs, potatoes, apples, sausages etc, will all need to be pierced before cooking.
Shape Even shapes cook evenly . Arranging Individual foods e.g. chicken portions or chops, should be placed on a dish so that the thicker parts are to the outside. Quantity Small quantities cook faster than large quantities, also small meals will reheat more quickly than large portions.
Starting T emperature The colder the food, the longer it takes to heat up. Food from a fridge takes longer to reheat than food at room temperature. Food temperature should be between 5-8ºC before cooking. Covering Cover foods with microwave cling film or a self-fitting lid.
China and Ceramic Everyday glazed china, porcelain or ceramic plates, bowls, mugs and cups can be used if they are heat resis tant. Fine bone china should only be used for reheating for short periods. Do not use dishes with a metal rim or pattern. Do not use jugs or mugs with glued handles, since the glue can melt.
Foil/Metal Containers NEVER A TTEMPT T O COOK IN FOIL OR MET AL con tai ners on Microwave only as the microwaves cannot pass through and the food will not heat evenly , it may also damage your oven.
Wicker , Wood, Straw Baskets Dishes will crack and could ignite. Do not use wooden dishes in your microwave. DO NOT USE ON ANY COOKING MODE. Roasting Bags Roasting bags are useful when slit up one side to tent a joint, for roasting by power and time.

When placing food in the oven after preheating, just pull down door because if STOP/CANCEL Pad is pressed the program may be cancelled.
Combination 1. Convection and Microwave This is the most popular combination mode combining convection heat with microwave power . Casseroles, meat joints, jacket potatoes and pastries are very successful using this combination. Unsuitable foods are those which contain whisked eggs, meringues, rich fruit cakes, biscuits and yorkshire puddings.
46 Combination 1. Convection and Microwave Non-metallic dishes or items of food can be placed directly onto wire shelf in the lower shelf position. Joints and portions of meat should be placed in a Glass Dish on the wire shelf in the lower shelf position.
