11 RECOMMENDED COOKING TABLES
11.1 Cooking with Microwaves
Warning! Read the section “Safety Precautions” before cooking with
your microwave.
Follow these recommendations when cooking with microwaves:
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 158°F.
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.
