Cooking with a microwave is much faster than conventional cooking and, whilst you should
make sure that food is fully cooked, you should be careful not to overcook it. Food can catch
fire if excessive cooking times are used.
If you are unsure how long the food should cook, begin cooking at the lowest recommended
time, then add more time if necessary. The moisture content of food can vary. Ensure food is
thoroughly cooked all the way to the centre before serving.
Introducing Microwave Cooking
Always remember the basic safeguards you would follow when using any cooking equipment or
handling hot food.
This page gives some of the basic guidelines for microwave cooking. If you are unfamiliar with
using a microwave, there is more information at the back of this instruction manual.
Cooking with a Microwave
• Strips of aluminium foil can be used to cover the thinner pieces of food to stop them from
overcooking before the thicker parts of the food have had the chance to cook. Use the
aluminium foil sparingly and wrap around the food or container carefully to stop it from
touching the inside of the microwave which could cause sparks.
• Microwaves cook food using microwave energy that is similar to naturally occurring radio
waves.
Normally, these “waves” would fade as they disappear into the atmosphere but in a
microwave they are concentrated on the food causing it to heat up.
• Microwave energy cannot pass through metal – so it cannot
escape from the inside of your microwave – but it can pass
through materials like glass, porcelain, plastic, and paper.
These are the things used to make microwave-safe cooking
equipment.
• Microwave-safe cooking equipment will still get hot as the
food it contains heats up.
• The microwave energy focuses on the moisture in the food
causing lots of tiny vibrations. The vibrations get so great that
the moisture – and the food – heat up.
• Microwave energy can heat unevenly so stirring to distribute heat is very important. Always
stir from the outside, inwards.
• If you are cooking a number of individual foods at the same time, such as baked potatoes or
small cakes, arrange them evenly on the turntable plate so that they cook evenly. Never stack
food in the microwave.
• Turn larger foods such as meat roasts and poultry during cooking so that the top and
bottom cook evenly. It is also recommended to turn pieces of meat or poultry, especially if
they have not been deboned.
• Meat and poultry which is cooked for 15 minutes or more will brown lightly in its own
fat. Anything cooked for a shorter time can be brushed with a browning sauce to give an
appetising colour.
L20GS14_IB_Final140317.indd 12 17/3/14 1:49 pm

Checking Your Cooking Utensils
Most heat-resistant, non-metallic cooking utensils are safe to use in your microwave. If made of
plastic or glass, utensils will be marked as “microwave safe” or similar.
For the types of utensils you can use in the microwave, please see the “Materials That Can Be
Used” section.
If you are not sure and/or there is no “microwave safe” marking on the utensil, do NOT use it in
the microwave.
• Never use equipment made of metal, except aluminium foil in your microwave oven.
• The microwave energy cannot pass through the metal so it bounces off and sparks against
the inside of the oven.
• Stop the microwave immediately if any equipment or utensils causes sparks.
• Remember that some crockery has a metal trim around the edge. Even this trim can cause
sparks.
• Never use scratched, cracked or damaged glass in a microwave. Damaged glass can explode.
Using Aluminium Foil in Your Microwave
It is safe to use aluminium foil in your microwave as long as you follow these safety guidelines.
As with all metals, microwave energy cannot pass through aluminium foil, but provided you
keep the aluminium foil away from the inside walls of the microwave it will not cause sparks and
there will not be any damage to your microwave.
Using aluminium foil is a good way of shielding parts of the food that you do not want to cook
as quickly as others – perhaps where the food is narrower and would otherwise overcook.
Place the aluminium foil over the area you want to shield, taking care that the aluminium foil
will not touch the inside walls of the microwave when the turntable plate rotates. Only use one
piece of aluminium foil at a time so that you do not get sparks between the separate pieces.
Follow these guidelines when using aluminium foil in your microwave:
• Remove aluminium foil lids from containers before using in the microwave. Some lids
are made of card with an aluminium foil covering – these should be removed too. Use a
microwave-safe transparent lid if possible.
• Stir food during cooking if the container has a lid or film cover.
• Always use the glass turntable plate.
• Use shallow containers with a large surface area. Do not use containers that are more than
1.25in (3.5cm) deep.
• Use gloves when handling any aluminium foil.
• Do not completely cover food with aluminium foil. The microwave energy cannot pass
through the aluminium foil so the food will not cook.
• Do not let aluminium foil touch the inside of the microwave.
• Do not use more than one piece of aluminium foil in the microwave at the same time.

Materials that can be Used in the Microwave
Utensils Remarks
Aluminium foil Shielding only. Small smooth pieces can be used to cover thin parts of meat or
poultry to prevent overcooking. Arcing can occur if the foil is too close to oven
walls. The foil should be at least 1 inch (2.5cm) away from oven walls.
Browning dish Follow the manufacturer’s instructions. The bottom of a browning dish must
be at least 3/16 inch (5mm) above the turntable. Incorrect usage may cause
the turntable to break.
Dinnerware Microwave-safe only. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions. Do not use
cracked or chipped dishes.
Glass jars Always remove lid. Use only to heat food until just warm. Most glass jars are
not heat-resistant and may break.
Glassware Heat-resistant oven glassware only. Make sure there is no metallic trim.
Do not use cracked or chipped dishes.
Oven cooking bags Follow the manufacturer’s instructions. Do not close with metal tie. Make slits
to allow steam to escape.
Paper plates and cups Use for short–term cooking/warming only. Do not leave oven unattended
while cooking.
Paper towels Use to cover food for reheating and absorbing fat. Use with supervision for
short-term cooking only.
Greaseproof paper Use as a cover to prevent splattering or a wrap for steaming.
Plastic Microwave-safe only. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions. Should be
labelled “Microwave Safe”. Some plastic containers soften, as the food inside
gets hot. “Boiling bags” and tightly closed plastic bags should be slit, pierced or
vented as directed by the instructions on their packaging.
Plastic wrap Microwave-safe only. Use to cover food during cooking to retain moisture.
Do not allow plastic wrap to touch food.
Thermometers Microwave-safe only (meat and candy thermometers).
Wax paper Use as a cover to prevent splattering and retain moisture.

Microwave Heating Categories
Your microwave has been tested and labelled to meet the UK government’s voluntary
agreement on the reheating of pre-cooked food.
The heating characteristics and output power levels of microwaves are usually calculated using
a relatively large portion of food (1000 gram load, IEC 60705) but many packs of pre-cooked
food are sold in smaller packs, often about 350 grams.
The UK government, in partnership with food companies and microwave manufacturers, has set
up a system of heating categories to help you choose the reheating time for pre-cooked food.
The category (a letter from A to E), is designed to help you reheat small quantities of food such
as microwave ready meals.
The label given above and also on the oven door gives the heating category and output power
of the oven.
Microwave ready meals weighing up to 500g (1lb 2oz) should have cooking instructions for
heating categories A to E. Follow the instructions for the letter that corresponds to the heating
category of the oven.
The higher the output power and heating category of the oven the less heating time is required.
This is shown in the diagrams below:
Oven Output Power
Less heating time required
600 700 800 900 1000 Watts
More heating time required
Oven Output Category
Less heating time required
A B C D E
More heating time required
800W
E
800W is the output power of the microwave.
(IEC 60705)
E is the heating category for your microwave.
Check the cooking times for category E on the
food’s packaging to see how long it should be
cooked.
Start cooking at the lowest recommended time, and add more time if necessary. The moisture
content of food can vary, ensure food is cooked thoroughly all the way to the centre before
serving.
L20GS14_IB_Final140317.indd 15 17/3/14 1:49 pm

16
Steam
When you microwave food, steam is created as water in the food heats up and evaporates.
The steam formed during microwave cooking is entirely safe. It has to escape from the
microwave to prevent pressure from building up inside the microwave. It does this through the
vents on the back of the microwave and from around the door.
Condensation
As the steam cools, you may find that condensation
gathers in small pools inside your microwave and
on the work surface beneath the door and vents.
Always dry the microwave after cooking foods with
a high moisture content.
Your microwave is designed to let steam escape
from the vents and around the door without
microwave energy escaping. There is no danger of
microwave energy escaping with the steam.
