Microwave cooking provides true innovation for the culinary arts. Combining rapidity and ease of use, it enhances flavours and aromas all the while keeping the appearance and nutritive qualities intact. Your microwave oven will complement your other kitchen appliances. It cooks, reheats and defrosts quick as a wink, affording you considerable time and energy savings. The microwaves used for cooking are electromagnetic waves. They exist in our environment as do radioelectric waves, light, and infrared rays.They are reflected by metals.They pass through all other materials. They are absorbed by water, sugar and fat molecules. When food is exposed to microwaves there follows a vibration of the molecules, which in turn produces heat. The depth of penetration of the waves into food is about 2.5 cm. If the food is thicker the centre is cooked by normal conduction of heat. It is worth noting that the microwaves produce a simple heat reaction inside food and are not at all harmful to your health. Due to the nature of microwave cooking, foods rich in water, sugar or fat require less cooktime and yield the best results.

When the container is shaken, even gently, the liquid may then suddenly vigorously boil over or spurt - with the risk of scalding the user. To prevent liquids from boiling over and possible burns, whenever heating liquid, please place a teaspoon in the container and wait 20 seconds before removing the containers from the appliance or adding anything to the liquid, to avoid sudden spurting of the liquid. · WARNING : Be sure to remove the cap or lid before cooking foods or heating liquids in a sealed bottle or container, which could otherwise explode. · Make sure that a minimum temperature of 70°C is attained for the cooking / heating of food. Never use a mercury or liquid thermometer for measuring the temperature of the food. · Baby food in jars or bottles should always be heated without a lid or top, and well stirred or shaken after heating, to ensure uniform distribution of the heat. Always check the temperature before feeding to your child in order to avoid scalding. · The hot food in a microwave oven will heat up the ovenware. For this reason always use oven gloves for handling hot dishes. · Never cook your food for too long or at too high a power setting. Some areas of the food can dry out or even ignite. 6 · To protect the appliance against corrosion from moisture (condensation) in the cavity or on the door, wipe these areas dry after each use. · Do not use porcelain or ceramic crockery, or porous earthenware (e.g. on the handles or unglazed bases) in your microwave as these types of dishes can absorb moisture from the food as it is cooking. This can cause vapour pressure to build up which could shatter the dish. · Food with «skin» or «peel», such as potatoes, tomatoes, sausages, and the like, should be pierced with a fork so that any steam present can escape and the food will not burst.
