[. . . ] · It provides efficient conversion of electrical energy to microwave energy, resulting in minimizing power requirements without sacrificing microwave output. · It allows a dramatic enlargement of oven cavity size even in a compact oven body, due to the small size of the inverter circuit, which replaces the currently used bulky transformer. · Finally, at the end of the products useful life, not using bulky transformers made of iron makes the process of recycling discarded ovens environmentally friendly. The total time will vary depending on the starting temperature of the food and the container used. [. . . ] (2) Remove packaging and place onto the roller ring directly or on baking paper.

English En-17 Microwave cooking tips To soften butter for easy spreading on removal from the fridge Soften for 35-40 seconds on Remove any foil beforehand. Swelling dried fruit Add 4 tablespoons of water to 200 g of raisins or prunes, (they can be swollen with rum for cakes). Restoring cheese to room temperature Cheese removed from the refrigerator must be placed in the oven and "warmed" for 30 seconds -1 minute (depending on the size of the cheese) at 250 W. Blanching almonds or hazelnuts Cover with hot water and cook for 3-6 minutes on 1000 W (return to boil). Observe the standing times. Standing times Individual portions of food may be cooked almost immediately after defrosting (5 minutes standing time for steaks, 15 minutes for fruit and pastry). During this standing time, the temperature becomes evenly distributed and the food is defrosted by conduction. NB If the food is not going to be cooked immediately, store it in the refrigerator. English Joints and poultry It is preferable to place the joints on an upturned plate or plastic rack so that they are not resting in the juices. It is essential to protect delicate or projecting parts of this food with small pieces of foil to prevent these parts from cooking. It is not dangerous to use small pieces of foil in your oven, provided they do not come into contact with the oven walls. En-19 Small portions of food Chops and chicken pieces must be separated as soon as possible so that they defrost evenly throughout. Place them near the centre of the turntable or protect them. Minced meat or cubes of meat and seafood Since the outside of these foods quickly defrosts, it is necessary to separate them, break the blocks into pieces frequently while defrosting and remove them when they have defrosted. Auto Weight Defrost This feature allows you to enter the weight in grams and the oven will select the correct defrosting time for the foods described. During the defrosting process, the oven will beep to remind you to check the food i. e. There are three categories for Auto Weight Defrost: Number of program and its uses 1. Meat Joints, Whole Chicken 400- 2400 g Defrosting bread Auto program Number of program and its uses 9. Bread/croissants (NN-GD569M/NN-GD559W ONLY) Sliced Frozen bread, small bread rolls, croissants, chocolate and rasin rolls. [. . . ] When possible, it is preferable to add grated cheese at the last moment (for pasta, gratins, etc. ). Scrambled eggs Mix 2 raw eggs in a bowl with a little cream or milk, a knob of butter, salt and pepper. The eggs should remain creamy. En-30 Dry starchy foods and vegetables The cooking times for dried vegetables in the microwave are much the same as with traditional cooking. On the other hand, these foodstuffs heat up very quickly, without taking on a reheated flavour, so long as they are in a closed vessel, with butter or sauce mixed in. Leave to stand for at least 5 to 8 minutes after cooking. Pasta Remember to salt the cooking water and stir once during cooking. [. . . ]
