You will be pleasantly surprised by the kinds of things you can do with a microwave. Not only can you use it for rapid defrosting or heating up of food, you can also prepare whole meals. [. . . ] Excessive pre-heating can damage the turntable and the turntable stand or can trigger the safety-device which will switch off the oven. CERAMICS Generally very suitable. Ceramics must be glazed, since with unglazed ceramics moisture can get into the ceramic. If you are not certain whether your utensil is suitable for the microwave, carry out the utensil suitability test. METAL Generally speaking, metal should not be used, since microwaves do not pass through metal and therefore cannot reach the food. There are, however, exceptions: small strips of aluminium foil may be used to cover certain parts of the food, so that these do not thaw too quickly or begin to cook (e. g. It is recommended that you transfer the food into a dish suitable for use in the microwave. When using aluminium containers or other metal utensils there must be a gap of approx. 2 cms between them and the walls of the cooking area, otherwise the walls could be damaged by possible arcing. PORCELAIN Very suitable. Ensure that the porcelain does not have a gold or silver overlay and that it does not contain any metal. PLASTIC AND PAPER UTENSILS Heat resistant plastic utensils which are suitable for use in the microwave can be used to thaw, heat and cook food. Heat-resistant paper made for use in a microwave oven is also suitable. Follow the manufacturer's recommendations. MICROWAVE FOIL This, or heat-resistant foil, is very suitable for covering or wrapping. Please follow the manufacturer's recommendations. NO UTENSIL SHOULD HAVE A METAL OVERLAY - parts such as screws, bands or handles. UTENSIL SUITABILITY TEST If you are not sure whether your utensil is suitable for use in your microwave oven, carr y out the following test: Place the utensil into the oven. Place a glass container filled with 150 ml of water on or next to the utensil. Metal clips are not suitable for fastening them since the roasting bag foil might melt. Fasten the roasting bag with string and pierce it several times with a fork. Non heat-resistant food wraps are not recommended for use in a microwave oven. BROWNING DISH A special microwave dish made from ceramic glass with 18 R-21+22FBST ENGLISH 22/07/2003 11:42 Page 19 TIPS AND ADVICE TIME SETTINGS In general the thawing, heating and cooking times are significantly shor ter than when using a conventional cooker or oven. For this reason you should adhere to the recommended times given in this cookery book. It is better to have to cook something for a little longer than to overcook it. LARGE AND SMALL QUANTITIES Microwave times are directly dependent upon the amount of food which you would like to thaw, heat or cook. As a rule of thumb: TWICE THE AMOUNT = ALMOST TWICE THE TIME HALF THE AMOUNT = HALF THE TIME DEEP AND SHALLOW CONTAINERS Both containers have the same capacity, but the cooking time is longer for the deeper one. You should therefore choose as flat a container as possible with a large surface area. Only use deep containers for dishes where there is a danger of overcooking, e. g. for noodles, rice, milk etc. . INITIAL TEMPERATURES Thawing, heating and cooking times are dependent upon the initial temperature of the food.
