Cooking Guide(continued)

Cooking Guide for fresh vegetables

Use a suitable glass pyrex bowl with lid. Add 30-45 ml cold water (2-3 tbsp.) for every

250 g unless another water quantity is recommended - see table. Cook covered for the

minimum time - see table. Continue cooking to get the result you prefer. Stir once

during and once after cooking. Add salt, herbs or butter after cooking. Cover during a

standing time of 3 minutes.

Hint: Cut the fresh vegetables into even sized pieces. The smaller they

are cut, the quicker they will cook.

All fresh vegetables should be cooked using full microwave power (850 W).

REHEATING

Your microwave oven will reheat food in a fraction of the time that conventional ovens

hobs normally take.

Use the power levels and reheating times in the following chart as a guide. The times in

the chart consider liquids with a room temperature of about +18 to +20°C or a chilled

food with a temperature of about +5 to +7°C.

Arranging and covering

Avoid reheating large items such as joint of meat - they tend to overcook and dry out

before the centre is piping hot. Reheating small pieces will be more successful.

Power levels and stirring

Some foods can be reheated using 850 W power while others should be reheated

using 600 W, 450 W or even 300 W.

Check the tables for guidance. In general, it is better to reheat food using a lower

power level, if the food is delicate, in large quantities, or if it is likely to heat up very

quickly (mince pies, for example).

Stir well or turn food over during reheating for best results. When possible, stir again

before serving.

Take particular care when heating liquids and baby foods. To prevent eruptive boiling

of liquids and possible scalding , stir before, during and after heating. Keep them in the

microwave oven during standing time. We recommend putting a plastic spoon or glass

stick into the liquids. Avoid overheating (and therefore spoiling) the food.

It is preferable to underestimate cooking time and add extra heating time, if necessary.

Heating and standing times

When reheating food for the first time, it is helpful to make a note of the time taken for

future reference.

Always make sure that the reheated food is piping hot throughout.

Allow food to stand for a short time after reheating - to let the temperature even out.

The recommended standing time after reheating is 2-4 minutes, unless another time is

recommended in the chart.

Take particular care when heating liquids and baby food. See also the chapter with the

safety precautions.

REHEATING LIQUIDS

Always allow a standing time of at least 20 seconds after the oven has been switched

off to allow the temperature to even out. Stir during heating, if necessary, and ALWAYS

stir after heating. To prevent eruptive boiling and possible scalding, you should put a

spoon or glass stick into the beverages and stir before, during and after heating.
