Introduction on Microwave Cooking

• Microwaves are invisible waves of electromagnetic energy similar to radio waves. Instead of being converted to sound as in a radio or mobile phones, it is converted into a heat source which heats food from the inside.
• Microwaves cook because food molecules of water, fat, and sugar react to the energy provided by the microwaves. That energy is absorbed by the food causing the molecules to vibrate quickly. This movement creates friction which causes the food to heat up and therefore cook.
• The energy in a microwave is not distributed evenly throughout the cavity. The turntable rotates constantly while cooking which enables even cooking.
• Microwave cooking is considered the “cool” cooking method as only the food gets hot and surrounding air stays cool.
• Microwaves are safe and can be economical.
• Microwaves need no preheating, therefore the kitchen stays cooler. Cooking is cleaner with less odours and washing up is reduced.
• Microwave ovens cook foods rapidly. Some foods are better cooked in a microwave oven as they retain more flavour, texture, and goodness, such as plain fish fillets, soft fruit, vegetables, and fat-free cakes.
• In a microwave, the heat is produced INSIDE the food. In all other conventional cooking methods, heat is applied from OUTSIDE through transference of heat by convection or radiation.
• Microwave energy penetrates the food to a depth of about 25mm. Small foods under 5cm in diameter, such as eggs, are penetrated to the centre from all sides. In larger foods, energy creates heat in the outer layer; this then moves to the centre by conduction, as it does with conventional cooking.

Hints & Tips

Some Important Tips for Microwave Cooking

To help equalize energy in the food so that it cooks evenly, follow these helpful tips:

1. Arrange foods with varying size ends, such as chicken drumsticks and broccoli, with the thicker or tougher part positioned to the outside of the dish. This ensures the parts that require more cooking will receive more energy, so the food will cook evenly.
2. Covering the dish during cooking holds in the heat and steam to speed up cooking time. Use a microwave-safe lid or plastic wrap that has been vented by turning back one edge at the side of the dish to form a narrow vent to release excess steam.
3. Choose cooking dishes that are shallow and preferably have straight sides. Shallow dishes enable the food to cook faster, and straight edges prevent the edges from being overcooked.
4. Arrange individual items such as ramekins or whole potatoes around the outside of the turntable. Make sure to leave space between items so the energy can penetrate from all sides.
5. Use round-shaped microwave-safe dishes. Round shapes cook more evenly than square or rectangle dishes which absorb most of the energy in the corners, causing food to overcook and toughen.
6. Shield areas which attract the most energy, such as wing tips of chickens and corners of square dishes, by covering them with small pieces of foil. This will reflect microwaves and prevent overcooking and food drying out.
7. Heat breads, biscuits, or oily food on paper towel. This prevents the build-up of steam between food and turntable, keeping surfaces crisp and dry. Cover foods with paper toweling to prevent splatters.
8. Stir foods from the outside to the centre of the dish once or twice during cooking to equalize heat and speed microwaving.
9. Turn medium to large food items over once during microwaving. This enables even exposure to microwaves.
10. Elevating some types of food such as cakes, meat, vegetables, and dough products can be advantageous. It allows more energy to penetrate the food from all sides, base, and top. Use a microwave-safe plastic or ceramic rack. If a rack is unavailable, use an upturned bowl or cup to elevate plates of food.
11. Do not elevate any special browning dishes, jugs of sauce or custard, small quantities of food, or mugs of beverages.
12. Internal temperatures of foods continue to rise so that they continue cooking even after they have been removed from the microwave oven. It is better to undercook food as it will continue to cook once removed from the microwave.

Microwave Utensils

Containers, plates, dishes, etc., used in the microwave oven should always be microwave-safe. Check if stated on the underside of the utensil or contact the manufacturer.

To test if a container, plate, or dish is microwave-safe, place it into the microwave oven with 1 cup of cold water (in a microwave-safe cup) and heat on High (100%) Power for 1 minute. If the container is hot and the water is cold, the container is not suitable for microwave oven use. If the container is cold and the water is hot, then the container is suitable for microwave oven use.

Metal containers and utensils should not be used in the microwave oven.

Care & Cleaning

• Switch off the microwave oven at the power outlet and remove the plug from the power outlet before cleaning.
• Keep the inside of the oven clean. When food splatters or spilled liquids adhere to oven walls, wipe with a damp cloth. Mild detergent may be used if the oven gets very dirty. Avoid the use of spray and other harsh cleaners as they may stain, streak, or dull the door surface.
• The outside surfaces 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 of 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 control panel to become wet. Clean with a soft, damp cloth. When cleaning the control panel, leave the oven door open to prevent the oven from accidentally turning on.
• If steam accumulates inside or around the outside of the oven door, wipe with a soft dry cloth. This may occur when cooking foods high in moisture or if the microwave oven is operated under high humidity conditions; this is normal.
• It is occasionally necessary to remove the glass turntable tray for cleaning. Wash the tray in warm soapy water, rinse in clean water and dry thoroughly.
• The roller ring and oven floor should be cleaned regularly to ensure the turntable tray rotates correctly and avoid excessive noise. Simply wipe the bottom surface of the oven with a soft damp cloth. The roller ring may be washed in mild soapy water, rinse in clean water and dry thoroughly. When removing the roller ring from the cavity floor for cleaning, be sure to replace it in the proper position.
• Remove odours from your oven by combining a cup of water with the juice of one lemon in a deep microwave-safe bowl, microwave on High (100%) for 5 minutes. Wipe the oven cavity thoroughly and dry with a soft cloth.
• When it becomes necessary to replace the oven light, please consult your Breville Service Centre to have it replaced.
• Please do not dispose of this appliance with domestic rubbish; it should be taken to the appropriate disposal centre provided by the local council municipalities.
• If storing the microwave oven, press the STOP/CLEAR button, switch off at the power outlet, then unplug the power cord. Ensure the microwave oven is completely cool, clean, and dry. Secure the roller ring and glass turntable and close the door. Do not place heavy objects on top. Store the microwave oven upright.

Before You Call for Service

• Check to ensure that the oven is plugged in securely. If it is not, remove the plug from the power outlet, wait 10 seconds, and plug it in again securely.
• Check for a blown circuit fuse or a tripped main circuit breaker. If these seem to be operating properly, test the power outlet with another appliance.
• Check to ensure that the control panel is programmed correctly and the timer is set.
• Check to ensure that the door is securely closed, engaging the door safety lock system. Otherwise, the microwave energy will not flow into the oven.

NOTE: If none of the above rectify the situation, then contact your Breville Service Centre. Do NOT try to adjust or repair the oven yourself.
