06 COOKING GUIDE

DEFROSTING

Microwaves are an excellent way of defrosting frozen food. Microwaves gently defrost

frozen food in a short period of time. This can be of great advantage, if unexpected

guests suddenly show up.

Frozen poultry must be thoroughly thawed before cooking. Remove any metal ties and

take it out of any wrapping to allow thawed liquid to drain away.

Put the frozen food on a dish without cover. Turn over half way, drain o any liquid and

remove any giblets as soon as possible. Check the food occasionally to make sure that it

does not feel warm.

If smaller and thinner parts of the frozen food start to warm up, they can be shield by

wrapping very small strips of aluminium foil around them during defrosting.

Should poultry start to warm up on the outer surface, stop thawing and allow it to stand

for 20 minutes before continuing.

Leave the ﬁsh, meat and poultry to stand in order to complete defrosting. The standing

time for complete defrosting will vary depending on the quantity defrosted. Please refer to

the table below.

Hint: Flat food defrosts better than thick and smaller quantities need less time

than bigger ones. Remember this hint while freezing and defrosting food.

For defrosting of frozen food with a temperature of about -18 to -20 °C, use the following

table as a guide.

GRILL

The grill-heating element is located underneath the ceiling of the cavity. It operates while

the door is closed and the turntable is rotating. The turntable’s rotation makes the food

brown more evenly. Preheating the grill for 3-5 minutes will make the food brown more

quickly.

Cookware for grilling:

Should be ﬂameproof and may include metal. Do not use any type of plastic cookware,

as it can melt.

Food suitable for grilling:

Chops, sausages, steaks, hamburgers, bacon and gammon rashers, thin ﬁsh portions,

sandwiches and all kinds of toast with toppings.

Important remark:

Whenever the grill only mode is used, please remember that food must be placed on the

high rack, unless another instruction is recommended.

MICROWAVE + GRILL

This cooking mode combines the radiant heat that is coming from the grill with the speed

of microwave cooking. It operates only while the door is closed and the turntable is

rotating. Due to the rotation of the turntable, the food browns evenly. Three combination

modes are available with this model:

600 W + Grill, 450 W + Grill and 300 W + Grill.

Cookware for cooking with microwave + grill

Please use cookware that microwaves can pass through. Cookware should be

ﬂameproof. Do not use metal cookware with combination mode. Do not use any type of

plastic cookware, as it can melt.

Food suitable for microwave + grill cooking:

Food suitable for combination mode cooking include all kinds of cooked food which

need reheating and browning (e.g. baked pasta), as well as foods which require a short

cooking time to brown the top of the food. Also, this mode can be used for thick food

portions that beneﬁt from a browned and crispy top (e.g. chicken pieces, turning them

over half way through cooking). Please refer to the grill table for further details.

Important remark:

Whenever the combination mode (microwave + grill) is used, the food should be placed

on the high rack, unless another instruction is recommended. Please refer to the

instructions in the following chart.

The food must be turned over, if it is to be browned on both sides.
