You will be pleasantly surprised by the kinds of things you can do with a microwave. Not only can you use it for rapid defrosting or heating up of food, you can also prepare whole meals. [. . . ] By so doing you will be able to prepare whole menus quickly and easily. FOODS REQUIRING CAREFUL HANDLING Foods such as gateaux, cream, cheese and bread should only be partially thawed and then left to thaw completely at room temperature. By so doing you will avoid the outer areas becoming too hot while the inside is still frozen. COVERING Cover thin parts with small strips of aluminium foil before thawing. Thawed or warm parts should likewise be covered with aluminium strips during thawing. This stops the thin parts becoming too hot while thicker parts are still frozen. STANDING TIME This is particularly important after thawing food, as the thawing process continues during this period. In the thawing table you will find the standing times for various foods. Thick, dense foods require a longer standing time than thinner foods or food of a porous nature. If the food has not thawed sufficiently, you may continue thawing it in the microwave oven or lengthen the standing time accordingly. At the end of the standing time you should process the food as soon as possible and not re-freeze it. CORRECT SETTING It is better to choose a setting which is too low rather than one which is too high. If the microwave setting is too high, the surface of the food will already have begun to cook while the inside is still frozen. 35 ENGLISH R-82FBST English 26/08/2004 08:57 Page 36 DEFROSTING AND COOKING Deep-frozen dishes can be thawed and cooked at the same time in one process in your microwave. Do take note, however, of the general advice given on "heating" and "thawing" food. Please refer to the manufacturer's instructions on the packaging when preparing deep- frozen dishes. These usually contain precise cooking times and offer advice on preparation. COOKING MEAT, FISH AND POULTRY When buying food items, try to ensure that, as far as possible, they are of similar size. Before preparation wash meat, fish and poultry thoroughly under cold running water and pat them dry with kitchen paper. Even though the pieces may be of a similar size, cooking results may vary. This is due, amongst other things, to the kind of food, variations in the fat and moisture content as well as the temperature before cooking. After the food has been cooking for 15 minutes it acquires a natural brownness, which may be enhanced by the use of a browning agent. If, in addition, you would like the surface to be crisp you should either use the browning dish or sear the food on your cooker and finish cooking it in your microwave. By doing this you will simultaneously obtain a brown base for making a sauce. Turn large pieces of meat, fish or poultry half way through the cooking time, so that they are cooked evenly from all sides. After cooking cover roasts with aluminium foil and allow them to stand for approx. During this period the roast carries on cooking and the liquid is evenly distributed, so that when it is carved a minimum amount of juice is lost. COOKING FRESH VEGETABLES When buying vegetables try to ensure that, as Vegetables are usually cooked in a dish with a far as possible, they are of similar size. This is particularly important when you want to cook the vegetables whole (e. g. [. . . ] Polirrosa Cl-A Nave-27, Huelva, 959/ 22. 60. 74 / Telesonid Huelva, S. C. A. , Cl Fco.
