Container Test; Tables And Tips - Gaggenau BM281 Manual De Instrucciones

Container Test
To test a container for safe microwave oven use
Fill a microwave safe cup with cool water and place it in the
microwave oven alongside the empty container to be
tested; heat one (1) minute at P10 (HIGH). If the
container is microwave oven safe (transparent to
microwave energy), the empty container should remain
comfortably cool and the water should be hot. If the
container is hot, it has absorbed some microwave energy
and should NOT be used. This test cannot be used for
plastic containers.
Tables and tips
This table contains a selection of dishes and the optimum
settings at which to cook them. You can use the table to
look up which microwave setting, type of heating, and
temperature are most suitable for your dish, and which
accessories to use.
Defrosting, heating up and cooking with the
microwave
The following tables provide you with numerous options
and adjustment values for the microwave.
The times specified in the tables are only guidelines. They
may vary according to the ovenware used, the quality,
temperature, and consistency of the food.
Time ranges are often specified in the tables. Set the
shortest time first and then extend the time if necessary.
It may be that you have different quantities from those
specified in the tables.
A rule of thumb can be applied:
double the amount double the cooking time,
half the amount half the cooking time.
Place the ovenware in the center of the ceramic tray. The
food will absorb the microwaves from all sides.
Defrosting
,_, Place the frozen food in an open container on the
ceramic tray.
Delicate parts such as the legs and wings of chicken or
fatty outer layers of roasts can be covered with small
pieces of aluminum foil. The foil must not touch the
oven walls. You can remove the foil halfway through the
defrosting time.
Turn or stir the food once or twice during the defrosting
time. Large pieces of food should be turned several
times. Turn to remove any liquid that results from
defrosting.
Leave defrosted items to stand at room temperature for
a further 10 minutes to 1 hour so that the temperature
can even out. The giblets can be removed from poultry
at this point.
