COOKWARE GUIDE
To cook food in the microwave oven, the microwaves must be able to penetrate the food, without being reflected or absorbed by the dish used.Care	must	therefore	be	taken	when	choosing	the	cookware.	If	the	cookware is marked microwave-safe, you do not need to worry.The following table lists various types of cookware and indicates whether and how they should be used in a microwave oven.

cooked in a microwave oven. Generally speaking, microwave cooking is ideal for any food that would normally be prepared on a hob. Melting butter or chocolate, for example (see the chapter with tips, techniques and hints).
Covering during cookingTo cover the food during cooking is very important, as the evaporated water rises as steam and contributes to cooking process. Food can be covered in different ways: e.g. with a ceramic plate, plastic cover or microwave suitable cling film.
Standing timesAfter cooking is over food the standing time is important to allow the temperature to even out within the food.

COOKING GUIDE
MICROWAVES
Microwave energy actually penetrates food, attracted and absorbed by its water, fat and sugar content.The microwaves cause the molecules in the food to move rapidly. The rapid movement of these molecules creates friction and the resulting heat cooks the food.
COOKING
Cookware for microwave cooking:Cookware	must	allow	microwave	energy	to	pass	through	it	for	maximum	efficiency. Microwaves are reflected by metal, such as stainless steel, aluminium and copper, but they can penetrate through ceramic, glass, porcelain and plastic as well as paper and wood. So food must never be cooked in metal containers.
Food suitable for microwave cooking:Many kinds of food are suitable for microwave cooking, including fresh or frozen vegetables, fruit, pasta, rice, grains, beans, fish, and meat. Sauces, custard, soups, steamed puddings, preserves, and chutneys can also be

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 coveringAvoid 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 stirringSome foods can be reheated using 800 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 timesWhen 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.

MANUAL 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 off 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.
All frozen food should be defrosted using defrosting power level (180 W).

COOKING INSTRUCTIONS ON FOOD PACKAGING
Microwave SymbolsOn the front of your oven there is a microwave oven symbol, as shown below.This symbol has been introduced for your benefit when cooking or reheating packaged food.
Packaged food is also, increasingly, using a microwave symbol similar to the one below. When you see this
Symbol on food packaging, the cooking instructions are based on either the IEC	Power	Output	Rating,	or	the	Reheating	Categories	A,	B,	C,	D	or	E.
800W
800W
COOKING INSTRUCTIONS
The	IEC	Power	Output	rating	is	an	internationally	standardised	rating,	so	all	microwave manufacturers now use the same method of measuring power output.If	food	packaging	gives	cooking	instructions	based	on	IEC	Power	ratings,	set	cooking	times	according	to	the	IEC	Power	of	your	oven.
For example :If the cooking instructions are based on a 650 W oven, then you will need to reduce some cooking time for the MS23F301T**, MS23F302T** (800 W)Ready meals are now very convenient and popular. These are meals which are already prepared and cooked by the food manufacturer, and then frozen, chilled or vacuum sealed for long life.Increasingly, heating times for such ready meals are being based on the Heating	Categories	A,	B,	C,	D	and	E.On this instance, simply match the heating category of your oven to the instructions on the food package, and set your timer accordingly.
For example :If the heating instructions are 3 minutes on HIGH for a D category oven, then you will need to set your timer for less than 3 minutes on HIGH for the MS23F301T**, MS23F302T** (E category).
Always remember that cooking instructions are intended only as a guide. If you have followed the instructions and the food is still not piping hot throughout, simply return it to the oven and cook it until it is.
