3.3 Microwave Cooking Principles
Microwaves are high-frequency electromagnetic waves similar to radio waves. While radio
waves may vary in length from one metre to many kilometres, microwaves are very short
(about 4cm). Inside the microwave is the magnetron, which converts the electrical energy into
microwave energy.
The microwave energy are reflected off the metal walls and the metal door screen and bounce
around inside the oven cavity. Then they pass through the cooking container as microwave
energy are transmitted by glass, china, pottery, microwaveable plastics and paper.
Microwave energy do not make any heat themselves but only cause water molecules in food
to vibrate. This vibration causes friction i.e. heat which cooks the food. Microwave energy are
also attracted to fat and sugar particles so foods which contain higher levels of these will cook
quicker.
Microwave energy can only penetrate food about 4-5cm (1½-2 inches) so food thicker than 8-
10cm is cooked as the heat spreads through the food by conduction to the centre. So just like
convectional cooking in a traditional oven the food cooks from the outside inwards. Microwave
energy cannot pass through metal, so the inside of the oven is lined with metal. The door is
lined with a fine metal mesh which stops microwave energy getting through. This means that
when the microwave door is shut, there is no possibility that microwave energy can be
released.
This is why the microwave has been made so that it will not work when the door is open. The
doors and hinges are fitted with locks, seals and cut-out switches which automatically turn off
the microwaves as soon as the door is opened.
The microwave energy do not stay in the air or in the food when you open the microwave door.
The food will continue to cook after the microwave is switched off, this is by heat conduction
and not through continued release or residual microwave energy being present (please refer
to Standing time on page 11).
IMPORTANT: Microwave energy cannot pass through metal, so metal cookware and
utensils can never be used in a microwave when cooking on microwave onlysetting.
Unsuitable foods for microwave cooking Do not attempt to cook foods that require dry
external heat to cook effectively on the microwave only settings. Such foods in this category
are soufflés, double crust pastry pies, yorkshire puddings etc. A microwave is not suitable for
foods that need to be deep fat fried. Do not boil eggs in their shells in a microwave as they can
explode and cause injury.

3.4 Standing Guidelines
Standing time Foods that are dense e.g. jacket potatoes, meat and cakes, will require a
certain amount of standing time after the end of the cooking programme in order to allow the
heat to finish conducting through the food and to cook the centre completely. This standing
time can be completed either inside or outside the microwave.
Defrosting –The defrosting process needs to include standing time so that the food is
fully defrosted in the centre. This standing time can vary between different food types
e.g. up to 1 hour for a join of meat or 5 minutes for frozen fruit pieces. Keep checking
the food by using a skewer to poke through to the centre to test if the item is still frozen
in the middle. Leave item standing untilfully defrosted throughout.
Jacket potatoes –Stand for 5 minutes. Wrapped in aluminium foil, do not cook in
aluminium foil.
Meat joints –Stand for 15 minutes. Wrapped in aluminium foil, do not cook in
aluminium foil.
Fish –Stand for 2-3 minutes.
Egg dishes –Stand for 1-2 minutes.
Vegetables –most types of vegetablescan be served immediately after cooking. The
exception is boiled potatoes which should have a standing time of 1-2 minutes.
Convenience packaged food –Stand for 1-2 minutes. Or follow the guidelines on the
packaging if standing times are provided.
Home cooked plated meals –Stand for 1-2 minutes.
Dense heavy cakes –Stand for 15-20 minutes.
Light cakes –Stand for 5 minutes before removing from the dish
3.5 General Guidelines
Arranging –Pieces of food such asmeat chops or chicken pieces should be placed
on a dish/in the container with the larger or thicker parts facing the outside of the dish.
This ensures that it cooks more evenly rather than the smaller/thinner parts
overcooking.
Checking Foods –It is vital that food is checked during and after the cooking
programme, even during the Auto Cook Menus. Check the food as you would do when
using a conventional oven. Continue the cooking time after as necessary.

Cling film –Please ensure that the cling film used is suitable for microwave use,
check the packaging. Cling film is used to cover food to avoid spitting and is beneficial
as it keepsin more moisture and the trapped steam Quicks up the cooking time. The
cling film needs to be pierced or a gap left so that excess steam can be released,
otherwise it could burst causing injury. After cooking, take care when removing the
cling film as the build up of steam underneath will be very hot.
Covering –Check that covers and lids for cookware are suitable for microwave use
and always ensure lids are not fully pressed down and that a gap is left for steam to
escape.
Density–Dense heavy food cooks slower than porous airy foods, alter timing
accordingly and check that airy foods do not overcook.
Dish size –Use a dish size that reflects the amount or size of food. An amount of food
spread in a bigger dish will cook/reheat quicker.
Liquids –Liquids need to be shaken or stirred before, during and after heating. This is
to avoid over boiling which can occur with no evidence of bubbling. Do not heat liquids
that have already been boiled. Make sure liquids do not overheat. Make sure the metal
spoon is removed before microwaving.
Moisture –Fresh and dryingredients/foods contain differentamounts of moisture so
cooking times will vary. Fresh foods contain different amounts of moisture content
depending on seasons, therefore cooking times may have to be adjusted throughout
the year.
Piercing –The membrane or skin will cause steam to build up during cooking
therefore the food must be pierced so that steam can escape. Foods include chicken
with skin, sausages, egg yolks, potatoes, apples.
Quantity–Smaller quantities of food/liquid cook faster than larger quantities. Small
portion meals will reheat quicker than large meals.
Shape –Even shaped food cooks more evenly. Food will cook more evenly in a round
container than a square/rectangular container.
Spacing –Do notpile food on top of each other. The food will cook more evenly and
quickly when spaced apart.
Starting temperature - The colder the food the longer the time to heat up therefore
food from the fridge will take longer to reheat/cook than food at room temperature.
Stirring and turning –Stir food during cooking if required. Meat and poultry should be
turned halfway through cooking to ensure even cooking.

3.6 Utensils Guide
Please test whether your chosen dish is suitable for microwave use if it is not stated on the
dish. You can use the belowtest to determine if the dish/container is suitable:
Use a microwave safe measuring jug and fill it with 300 ml (1/2pt) of cold tap water.
Place it on the turntablenext to the dish that you wish to test. If the dish you are testing
is a larger dish or container then place the measuring jug standing inside the empty
dish/container.
Set the microwave to heat on full 100% power for 1 minute.
If the dish or container remains cool whilst the water in the jug is getting warm then
your dish/container is suitable for microwaving. However, if the testing dish feels warm
then it is absorbing the microwave energy and should not be used.
Please note that this test does not apply to metal based container or plastic containers.
Please note that when you use your suitable microwaving dish to heat food or liquid up
then it will get warm as the heat from the food is conducting into the dish/container.
Glassware –Normal glass is heat resistant e.g. Pyrex® is ideal for microwaving and
combination cooking. Do not use for grilling. Do not use lead crystalwhich may arc or crack.
China & ceramic –Normal glazed china, porcelain/ceramic plates, bowls and cups may be
used if they are heat resistant. Fine bone china should not be used apart from short period of
reheating. Do not use plates or cups that have a metal decoration, pattern or rim. Mugs or jugs
with glued handles cannot be used as the glue can melt. Heat resistant dishes cannot be used
directly under the grill on grill only or combination grillsettings.
Pottery –Only use pottery dishes if they are completely glazed. Partially or unglazed
stoneware can absorb water which will then absorb the microwave energy. This may cause
the dishes to crack or burn, and will slow down the cooking Quick. Only use microwave proof.
Foil/metal containers –Do not use foil or metal containers or containers with metal
handles on the microwave only setting, as the microwave energy cannot pass through,
resulting in damage to your microwave and uncooked food. Foilcontainers can be used on the
grill onlysetting. Wooden skewers should be used instead of metal skewers when
microwaving. Remove paper covered wire twist-ties form bags and packaging.
Cast iron cookware –Dishes that are cast iron and covered with enamel, such as Le
Creuset®, cannot be used in the microwave.

Plastic containers –Most plastic containers are suitable for microwave use but please
check before using. Do not use plastic containers to cook food high in sugar and fat or foods
that require a long cooking time. Do not use Melamine as they absorb microwave energy. Do
not cook in yogurt or margarine cartons as these will melt after conducting the heat of the
food.
Paper –Greaseproof paper can be used to lined dishes or to cover foods to stop them from
splattering. A sheet of plain white absorbent kitchen paper towel can be used for microwave
cooking only e.g. covering food to prevent splattering or blind pastry. Ensure it is only used for
a short period of time and always use a fresh piece each time. Please check that the kitchen
towel paper does not contain manmade fibres and that recycled paper is suitable for
microwave use. White paper plates may be used to reheat food on the microwave only setting
but only for a very short period of time. Plastic or wax coated paper cups cannot be used in
the microwave as they may melt.
Wood, wicker & straw –Do not use these items or wooden cookware in the microwave as
they could ignite. Do not use on any of the cooking settings.
Thermometers - Only use thermometers that are approved for microwave.
Utensils –Do not use the microwave to heatup platesor cooking utensils.
Bottles –Do not cook or reheat using a container with a restricted opening, such as bottles,
as they may explode. Do not heat babybottles with the teat left on and remove if replacing the
bottle back into the oven.
3.7 Cleaning And Maintenance
Important: It is essential that the microwave is kept clean and is wiped down
after each use, especially any moisture or liquid underneath the turntable. If the
microwave is not kept in a clean condition this can lead to deterioration of the
surfaces which will adversely affect the life of the microwave and may result in
a hazardous situation.
Before you clean the oven, turn it off and unplug it at the socket.
Keep the inside of the microwave clean. When food splatters or spilled liquidsadhere
to oven walls, wipe with a damp cloth. Mild detergents may be used if the oven gets
very dirty. Avoid using spray or other harsh cleaners. They may stain, streak or dull the
door surface.
On the right hand side wall of the cavity is the wave guide cover; microwave energy
are passed through this to enable your food to cook. It is important that this wave
guide cover is kept clean at all times. To do this wipe with mild detergent and water,
then dry.

The outside of the microwave should be cleaned with a damp cloth. To prevent
damage to the operating parts inside the oven, water should not be allowed to seep
into the ventilation openings.
Wipe the door and window on both sides, the door seals and adjacent parts frequently
with a damp cloth to remove any spills or spatters. Do not use abrasive cleaner.
Do not allow the controlpanelto become wet. Clean with a soft, damp cloth. When
cleaning the controlpanel, leave oven door open to prevent oven fromaccidentally
turning on.
Remove odours from your microwave by combining a cup of water with the juice and
skin of one lemon in a microwaveable bowl. Microwave for 5 minutes.
Wipe thoroughly and dry with a soft cloth.
If steam builds up inside or around the outside of the oven door, wipe with a soft cloth.
This may happen when the microwave oven is used in humid conditions. The build up
of steam does not mean that the unit is malfunctioning.
The glass turntable should be cleaned regularly or straight away if there has been a
spill of food or liquid. Remove the glass turntable and wash it in warm soapy water. If
the glass turntable is hot, allow to cool before placing in water or cleaning, as
otherwise it may crack or shatter.
The microwave cavity floor and the turntable roller needs to be cleaned regularly to
ensure the floor surface does not become damaged. Simply wipe the bottomsurface
of the oven with mild detergent and water, then dry thoroughly.You can wash the
turntable roller in mild soapy water and dry thoroughly.
After removing the turntable roller, please ensure that it is replaced properly in the
correct position before using the microwave. Make sure the flat side on the circular
centre piece of the turntable roller matches up with the flat side of the circular hole in
the centre of the microwave, it may take a bit of wiggling to make the shapes match
up. This will ensure that the turntable roller is fully inserted into the hole and that the
wheels on the turntable roller are flush with the floor of the microwave.
A steam cleaner product should not be used to clean any parts of the microwave.
The air vents should be kept clear and clean at all times. Regularly check that there is
no dust or other material blocking the air vents on the top, sides or rear of the
microwave.
Do not use sharp metal scrapers to clean any surface of the microwave, including
walls, floor, or door surfaces, as theycan scratch the surface and damage the
appliance.

4 Trouble Shooting
Questions
Answers
Is it normalthat my microwave oven is
causing interference with my TV?
The microwave oven may cause interference
to your radio, TVor similar equipment. This
does not mean there is a fault with your
microwave. You can eliminate the
interference by moving the radio, TV or
equipment as far away from your microwave
oven as possible.
The microwave is not working?
Make sure the mains plug is plugged in
securely. If it is not, remove the plug from the
socket, wait 10 seconds and plug it in again
securely.Check the premises for a blown
circuit fuse or a tripped main circuit breaker. If
these seem to be working properly, test the
socket with another appliance.
The microwave power is not working?
Check to see whether the timer is set. Make
sure the door is securely closed, as
otherwise, the microwave energy will not flow
into the oven.
Why is warm air coming out of the vents?
The food generates heat in the cooking
process which in turn heats the air inside the
microwave. The warm air leaves the
microwave through the air vents. There are
no microwaves in the air, or steam. The oven
vents should never be covered or blocked
during cooking as thiscould damage the
microwave.
How can I get rid of the odour in my
microwave?
If the inside of the oven smells, put a cup of
water with the juice and skin of one lemon in
a deep microwave bowl. Microwave it for five
minutes, wipe thoroughly and then dry with a
soft cloth. Thisshould eradicate any
unpleasant food smells
