  • Page 10: What Are Microwaves

    WHAT ARE MICROWAVES? Like radio and television waves, microwaves are electromagnetic waves. Microwaves are produced by a magnetron inside the microwave oven, and these vibrate the molecules of water present in the food. The friction this causes produces heat, which ensures that the food is defrosted, heated or cooked through.

  • Page 11: Suitable Ovenware

    MICROWAVE CLING FILM This, or heat-resistant film, is very suitable for covering or wrapping. Please follow the manufacturer's recommendations. ROASTING BAGS Can be used in a microwave oven. 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.

  • Page 13 USING A FOOD THERMOMETER TO DETERMINE COOKING TIME The internal temperature of food and drink can be ascertained with a food thermometer. The most important temperatures are specified in the temperature table. Drink / Food Internal temperature once cooked 65-75 o C Heating drinks (Coffee, Water, Tea, Milk etc.)
  • Page 14 TIPS & ADVICE COVERING Covering the food retains the moisture within it and shortens the cooking time. Use a lid, microwave cling film or a cover. Foods which are to be crispy, e.g. roasts or chickens, should not be covered. As a general rule, whatever would be covered in a conventional oven should also be covered in a microwave oven.
  • Page 15 Ready-prepared meals in aluminium containers should be removed from the aluminium container and heated on a plate or in a dish. Food should be covered with microwave cling film, a plate or cover (obtainable from stores), so that the surface does not dry out. Drinks need not be covered.

  • Page 16: Cooking Fresh Vegetables

    COOKING FRESH VEGETABLES When buying vegetables try to ensure that, as far as possible, they are of similar size.
