cooking time has elapsed, a bell will ring and the oven will turn off automatically.
To determine the right cooking time for your foods, follow the instructions on the
packaging of ready-made dishes and deep-frozen foods.
Do not program a cooking time longer than necessary. You will then avoid any
risk of overcooking or setting fire to your food.
CAUTION:
ALWAYS TURN THE TIMER SELECTOR KNOB BACK TO THE 0 POSITION when food
is removed from the oven at the end of the cooking cycle or when the oven is
not in operation.
Foods
Forbidden foods
If you choose a cooking method using microwaves, you should never:
•
Attempt to fry food - it is impossible to control the temperature of the oil and
other fats- fire-risk.
•
Attempt to cook or warm up eggs in their shells, hard-boiled eggs with or
without their shells or snails - they may explode.
•
Attempt to cook food in an intact shell (e.g. chestnuts) or hard skin (tomatoes,
potatoes, sausages) - always make a slit.
Food temperatures
The action of microwaves is such that only the food is heated. The container
may, therefore, remain cold or cool while the food that it contains is burning hot.
To avoid any risk of burning, always stir before serving and check the temperature
carefully before serving - especially to children.
Shake feeding bottles well and try a few drops on the back of your wrist to check
the temperature.
Preparing food for cooking
Before warming feeding bottles and small pots, remove teats and covers.
Remember to cover the food in order to:
•
avoid any splashing of the oven cavity,
•
retain sufficient moisture for cooking.
Heating liquids
When heating liquids, a sudden overflow may occur when you take the container
48
to remove it from the appliance. In fact, when the temperature reaches boiling
point, steam tends to remain trapped in the liquid until it is disturbed.
To avoid this superheating effect and the consequent risk of scalding, always
place a plastic spoon in the liquid to be heated.
A container can easily be tested for microwave "transparency":
Place the empty container on the turntable together with a glass of water and
run the oven for one minute at maximum power.
After one minute:
•
if the container is cold, it is "transparent" and can be used for microwave
cooking,
•
if the container is warm or hot it is absorbent and must not be used for
microwave cooking.
