Utensil Guide
Only use utensils that are suitable for use in microwave ovens.
To cook food in the microwave oven, the microwaves must be able to penetrate the food, without being reflected or
absorbed by the dish used. Care must therefore be taken choosing the utensil. If the utensil is marked microwave-safe, you
do not need to worry. The following table lists various of utensil and indicates whether and how they should be used in a
microwave oven.

In a microwave oven,
electricity is converted
into microwave by the
MAGNETRON.
▶ TRANSMISSION
Then they pass through the cooking containers to be absorbed by
the water molecules in the food, all foods contain water to a more
or lesser extent.
▶ REFLECTION
The microwaves bounce
off the metal walls and
the metal door screen.
▶ ABSORPTION
The microwaves cause the water molecules to vibrate which
causes FRICTION, i.e. HEAT. This heat then cooks the food.
Microwaves are also attracted to fat and sugar particles, and foods
high in these will cook more quickly. Microwaves can only
penetrate to a depth of 4-5cm and as heat spreads through the
food by conduction, just as in a traditional oven, the food cooks
from the outside inwards.
Microwave energy has been used in this country to cook and reheat food since early experiments with RADAR in World War ll.
Microwaves are present in the atmosphere all the time, both naturally and manmade sources. Manmade sources include radar,
radio, television, telecommunication links and car phones.
»MICROWAVING PRINCIPLES
Microwave oven is a Group 2 ISM equipment in which radio frequency energy is intentionally generated and used in the form of
electromagnetic radiation for the treatment of material. This oven is a Class B equipment suitable for use in domestic
establishments and in establishments directly connected to a low voltage power supply network which supplies buildings used
for domestic purposes.

KOR-6LBR5S_18
KOR-6LBR5S_19
STANDING TIME
Dense foods e.g. meat, jacket potatoes and cakes, require standing
time(inside or outside of the oven) after cooking, to allow heat to
finish conducting to cook the centre completely. Wrap meat joints
and jacket potatoes in aluminium foil while standing. Meat joints
need approx. 10-15 minutes, jacket potatoes 5 minutes. Other foods
such as plated meal, vegetables, fish etc require 2-5 minutes
standing. After defrosting food, standing time should also be allowed.
If food is not cooked after standing time, return to the oven and cook
for additional time.
MOISTURE CONTENT
Many fresh foods e.g. vegetables and fruit, vary in their moisture
content throughout the season, particularly jacket potatoes. For this
reason cooking times may have to be adjusted. Dry ingredients e.g.
rice, pasta, can dry out during storage so cooking times may differ.
DENSITY
Porous airy foods heat more quickly than dense heavy foods.
CLING FILM
Cling film helps keep the food moist and the trapped steam assists in
speeding up cooking times. Pierce before cooking to allow excess
steam to escape. Always take care when removing cling film from a
dish as the build-up of steam will be very hot.
SHAPE
Even shapes cook evenly. Food cooks better by microwave when in a
round container rather than square.
SPACING
Foods cook more quickly and evenly if spaced apart. NEVER pile
foods on top of each other.
STARTING TEMPERATURE
The colder the food, the longer it takes to heat up. Food from a fridge
takes longer to reheat than food at room temperature.
LIQUIDS
All liquids must be stirred before and during heating. Water
especially must be stirred before and during heating, to avoid
eruption. Do not heat liquids that have previously been boiled. DO
NOT OVERHEAT.
TURNING & STIRRING
Some foods require stirring during cooking. Meat and poultry should
be turned after half the cooking time.
ARRANGING
Individual foods e.g. chicken portions or chops, should be placed on a
dish so that the thicker parts are towards the outside.
QUANTITY
Small quantities cook faster than large quantities, also small meals
will reheat more quickly than large portions.
PIERCING
The skin or membrane on some foods will cause steam to build up
during cooking. These foods must be pierced or a strip of skin should
be peeled off before cooking to allow the steam to escape. Eggs,
potatoes, apples, sausages etc, will all need to be pierced before
cooking. DO NOT ATTEMPT TO BOIL EGGS IN THEIR SHELLS.
COVERING
Cover foods with microwave cling film or a lid. Cover fish, vegetables,
casseroles, soups. Do not cover cakes, sauces, jacket potatoes or
pastry items.

take place. Always remove outer wrap and tray. Use only
containers that are microwave-safe.
▶Begin defrosting whole poultry breast-side-down. Begin
defrosting roasts fat-side-down.
▶The shape of the package alters the defrosting time. Shallow
rectangular shapes defrost more quickly than a deep block.
▶After 1/3 of the defrost time has elapsed, check the food.
You may wish to turn over, break apart, rearrange or remove
thawed portions of the food.
▶During defrost, the oven will prompt you to turn the food over.
At this point, open oven door and check the food. Follow the
techniques listed below for optimum defrost results.
Then, close oven door, touch the START pad to complete
defrosting.
▶When defrosted, food should be cool, but softened in all areas. If
still slightly icy, return to microwave oven very briefly, or let stand
a few minutes. After defrosting, allow food to stand 5-60 minutes
if there are any icy areas.
Poultry and fish may be placed under running cool water until
defrosted
☞ Turn over : Roast, ribs, whole poultry, turkey breasts, hot dogs,
sausages, steaks, or chops.
☞ Rearrange : Break apart or separate steaks, chops, hamburger
patties, ground meat, chicken or seafood pieces, chunks of meat
such as stew beef.
☞ Shield : Use small strips of aluminum foil to protect thin areas or
edges of unevenly shaped foods such as chicken wings. To
prevent arcing, do not allow foil to come within 1-inch of oven
walls or door.
☞ Remove : To prevent cooking, thawed portions should be
removed from the oven at this point. This may shorten defrost
time for food weighing less than 3 lbs.(1350g).
