  • Page 9: 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 10: Suitable Ovenware

    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.

  • Page 13 COVERING THE FOOD By covering the food as it cooks moisture is retained and cooking time is reduced. Use a lid, microwave film, or cover. Do not cover food that should have a crispy surface, such as roast meat or chicken. As a rule if you would cover it in a conventional oven, cover it in the microwave.
  • Page 14 HEATING • Ready-prepared meals in aluminium containers should be removed from the aluminium container and heated on a plate or in a dish. • Remove the lids from firmly closed containers. • Food should be covered with microwave cling film, a plate or cover (obtainable from stores), so that the surface does not dry out.

  • Page 15: Cooking Fresh Vegetables

    • When buying vegetables, try to ensure that, as far as possible, they are of similar size. This is particularly important when you want to cook the vegetables whole (e.g. boiled potatoes). • Wash the vegetables before preparing them, clean them and only then weigh the required quantity for the recipe and chop them up.
