MODIFICATION OF
CONVENTIONAL RECIPES
If you wish to modify your tried and trusted recipes
in the microwave, you should take the following
into account: shorten cooking times by one third to
one half. Let yourself be guided by the recipes in
this cookbook. Foods containing a lot of liquid
such as meat, fish, poultry, vegetables, fruit, stews
and soups can be prepared without difficulty in the
microwave. In the case of foods containing little
liquid, such as dishes served on a plate, the
surface should be moistened before reheating or
cooking. Reduce the quantity of liquid added to
raw food that is to be steamed to approximately
two thirds of the quantity in the original recipe. If
necessary, add liquid during the cooking process.
The fat added can be reduced significantly. A
small portion of butter, margarine or oil is sufficient
to give the food a flavour. As a result the
microwave is ideal for preparing low fat foods in
the context of a diet.

RECIPES

FOR COMBINED USE
The same rules as for microwave use apply in
general. You should also take account of the
following tips as well:
1. The microwave power should be adapted to the
type of food and the cooking time. Use the
recipes in this cookbook section as a guideline.
2. If you prepare food using the combined
microwave-grill method, you should take
account of the following: the microwave time is
longer for large thick foods such as roast pork
than for small, flat foods. However, the reverse
is true for the grill. The nearer the food is to the
grill, the faster it will brown. That means that if
you prepare large roasts in the combined
system, the grilling time, where applicable, is
shorter than for smaller roasts.
3. When grilling, use the rack to obtain fast even
browning (exception: large, thick pieces of
food).
