What can a microwave oven
do?
In the microwave oven, food is cooked,
reheated or defrosted quickly.
You can use your microwave in the
following ways:
–
Food can be defrosted, reheated or
cooked by entering a power setting
and a time.
–
Deep frozen ready-made meals can
be defrosted and then reheated or
cooked.
– The microwave oven can also be
used for other tasks, e.g. for proving
dough, melting chocolate and butter,
dissolving gelatine etc.

steak or sausages.
