How Microwaves Work

Microwave ovens do not generate any heat themselves but instead emit waves of microwave energy which cause the water molecules in food to vibrate. This vibration produces heat which in turn cooks the food.

This is why your food will come out of the microwave piping hot, when your utensils inside the microwave stay much cooler.

Microwave energy cannot penetrate metal, so the inside of the appliance is lined with metal. The door is lined with a fine metal mesh which prevents microwaves from escaping.

Cooking Hints & Tips

To avoid any microwave mishaps it is recommended to take extra care with the following:

Foods with a membrane or outer skin (eg. fruits, sausages, potatoes, egg yolks).

– Food with a sealed or none porous skin must be pierced to allow pressure and steam to escape.

– Low moisture foods (eg. cereals, bagels, dried pasta, pulses and chocolate).

– These must be cooked for a very short length of time with constant supervision.

– High sugar content foods (eg. jams, syrups).

– These foods can become easily ‘super-heated’ when cooked in a microwave oven.

– Foods containing alcohol.

– Foods with an alcohol content must not be cooked in a microwave as they could ignite.

The easiest and most instinctive microwave with 4 simple buttons that allow you to Microwave, Defrost, Start and Stop/Cancel.
No complicated auto cook menus or power levels.
Flatbed technology removes the need for a turntable to offer a microwave with more useable space – ideal for large plates and casserole dishes.
The flatbed surface is easier to clean, so food debris and moisture can be wiped away with ease.
