9. COOKING WITH A MICROWAVE OVEN

Warning! Read the section "Microwave Safety" before cooking with your microwave.
Follow these recommendations when cooking with your microwave:
 Before heating or cooking foods with peel or skin (e.g. apples, tomatoes, potatoes, sausages)
prick them so that they do not burst. Cut the food up before starting to prepare it.
 Before using a container or dish make sure that it is suitable for microwave use (see the section
on types of ovenware).
 When cooking food with very little moisture (e.g. defrosting bread, making popcorn, etc.)
evaporation is very quick. The oven then works as if it was empty and the food may burn. The
oven and the container may be damaged in such a situation. You should therefore set just the
cooking time necessary and you must keep a close eye on the cooking process.
 It is not possible to heat large quantities of oil (frying) in the microwave.
 Remove pre-cooked food from the containers they come in since these are not always heat
resistant. Follow the food manufacturer's instructions.
 If you have several containers, such as cups, for example, set them out uniformly on the
ceramic base.
 Do not close plastic bags with metal clips. Use plastic clips instead. Prick the bags several times
so that the steam can escape easily.
 When heating or cooking foods, check that they reach at least a temperature of 70°C.
 During cooking, steam may form on the oven door window and may start to drip. This situation is
normal and may be more noticeable if the room temperature is low. The oven's safe working is
not affected by this. After you have finished cooking, clean up the water coming from the
condensation
 When heating liquids, use containers with a wide opening, so that the steam can evaporate
easily.
Prepare the foods as per the instructions and keep in mind the cooking times and power levels
indicated in the tables.
Keep in mind that the figures given are only indicative and can vary depending on the initial state,
temperature, moisture and type of food. It is advisable to adjust the times and power levels to each
situation. Depending on the exact characteristics of the food you may need to increase or shorten
the cooking times or increase or decrease the power levels.
