Important Safety Instructions Precautions to be taken when using Microwave Ovens for Heating Foodstuffs INSPECTION FOR DAMAGE: A microwave oven should only be used if an inspection confirms all of the following conditions: 1. The grille is not damaged or broken. 2. The door fits squarely and securely and opens and closes smoothly. 3. The door hinges are in good condition. 4. The metal plates of a metal seal on the door are neither buckled nor deformed. 5. The door seals are neither covered with food nor have large burn marks. PRECAUTIONS: Microwave radiation from microwave ovens can cause harmful effects if the following precautions are not taken: 1. Never tamper with or deactivate the interlocking devices on the door. 2. Never poke an object, particularly a metal object, through a grille or between the door and the oven while the oven is operating. 3. Never place saucepans, unopened cans or other heavy metal objects in the oven. 4. Do not let other metallic articles, e.g. fast food foil containers, touch the side of the oven. 5. Clean the oven cavity, the door and the seals with water and a mild detergent at regular intervals. Never use any form of abrasive cleaner that may scratch or scour surfaces around the door. 6. Always use the oven with the cookware recommended by the manufacturer. 7. Never operate the oven without a load (i.e. an absorbing material such as food or water) in the oven cavity unless specifically allowed in the manufacturer’s literature. 8. For horizontally hinged doors, never rest heavy objects such as food containers on the door while it is open. 9. Do not place sealed containers in the microwave oven. Baby bottles fitted with a screw cap or a teat are considered to be sealed containers. 10. This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety. 11. Young children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance. 12. It is hazardous for anyone other than a competent person to carry out any service or repair operation that involves the removal of a cover which gives protection against exposure to microwave energy. 13. The surfaces are liable to get hot during use. Practical Hints: 1. For initial use of COMBINATION, STEAM, GRILL, OVEN, and CRISPY GRILL, if you see white smoke arise, it is not malfunction. 2. Exterior oven surfaces, including air vents on the cabinet and the oven door will get hot during COMBINATION, STEAM, GRILL, OVEN, and CRISPY GRILL. Use care when opening or closing door and when inserting or removing food and accessories. 3. The oven has two grill heaters situated in the top of the oven. After using the COMBINATION, STEAM, GRILL, OVEN, and CRISPY GRILL functions, the ceiling will be very hot. 4. The accessible parts may become hot when COMBINATION, STEAM, GRILL, OVEN, and CRISPY GRILL is in use. Children should be kept away. 5. Before using COMBINATION, STEAM, GRILL, OVEN, or CRISPY GRILL functions for the first time, operate the oven without food and accessories on OVEN 220 °C for 10 minutes. This will allow the oil that is used for rust protection to be burned off. This is the only time that the oven is operated completely empty. Important Instructions WARNING—To reduce the risk of burns, electric shock, fire, injury to persons or excessive microwave energy: 1. Read all instructions before using the microwave oven. 2.

Installation and General Instructions (continued) of, or in the oven. It could be a fire hazard. 9. Do not cook food directly on ceramic plate unless indicated in recipes. (Food should be placed in a suitable cooking utensil.) 10. DO NOT use this oven to heat chemicals or other nonfood products. DO NOT clean this oven with any product that is labelled as containing corrosive chemicals. The heating of corrosive chemicals in this oven may cause microwave radiation leaks. 11. If the base of the oven is hot, allow to cool before cleaning or placing in water. 12. When using the MICROWAVE + GRILL mode, never place any aluminum or metal container directly on the wire rack. Always insert a heat- proof, grass plate or dish between the wire rack and the aluminum container. This will prevent sparking that may damage the oven. 13. It is recommended not to use the wire rack when cooking in the MICROWAVE mode only. 14. During cooking, some steam will condense inside and/or on the oven door. This is normal and safe. Steam will disappear after the oven is cool down. 15. Do not leave the microwave unattended while reheating or cooking food in disposable containers made of plastic, paper or other combustible materials, as these types of containers can ignite if overheated. Placement of the Oven 1. The oven must be placed on a flat, stable surface, more than 85 cm above the floor. For correct operation, the oven must have sufficient air flow. Allow 25 cm of space on the top of the oven, 10 cm at the back, and 5 cm on both sides. If one side of the oven is placed flush to wall, the other side or top must not be blocked. Do not remove feet. (a) Do not block air vents. If they are blocked during operation, the oven may be overheated and damaged. When using any cloth over the oven, the air intake and exhaust should not be blocked. Do not place a cloth on top of the unit during COMBINATION, STEAM, GRILL, OVEN, and CRISPY GRILL cooking as the top of the microwave gets very hot. Also allow suffi cient space on back and both sides of the oven. (b) Do not place oven near a hot or damp surface such as a gas stove, electric range or sink etc. (c) Do not operate oven when room humidity is too high. 2. This oven was manufactured for household use only. 3. The appliance is freestanding type and shall not be placed in a cabinet. Food 1. Do not use your oven for home canning or the heating of any closed jar. Pressure will build up and the jar may explode. In addition, the microwave oven cannot maintain the food at the correct canning temperature. Improperly canned food may spoil and be dangerous to consume. 2. Do not attempt to deep fat fry in your microwave oven. 3. Do not boil eggs in their shell and whole hard- boiled eggs (unless otherwise stated in Cooking Guide section). Pressure will build up and the eggs will explode. 4. Potatoes, apples, egg yolks, chicken wings, whole squash and sausages are examples of foods with nonporous skins. This type of food must be pierced before cooking, to prevent bursting. 5. When heating liquids, e.g. soup. sauces and beverages in your microwave oven, overheating the liquid beyond boiling point can occur without evidence of bubbling. This could result in a sudden boil over the hot liquid. To prevent this possibility the following steps should be taken: (a) Avoid using straight-sided containers with narrow necks. (b) Do not overheat. (c) Stir the liquid before placing the container in the oven and again halfway through cooking time. (d) After heating, allow to stand in the oven for a short time, stirring again before carefully removing the container. (e) Microwave heating of beverages can result in delayed eruptive boiling, therefore care must be taken when handling the container. 6. DO NOT USE A CONVENTIONAL MEAT THERMOMETER IN THE MICROWAVE OVEN. To check the degree of cooking of roasts and poultry use a MICROWAVE THERMOMETER. Alternatively, a conventional meat thermometer may be used after the food is removed from the oven. If undercooked, return meat or poultry to the oven and cook for a few more minutes at the recommended power level. It is important to ensure that meat and poultry are thoroughly cooked. 7. COOKING TIMES given in the cookbook are APPROXIMATE. Factors that may affect cooking time are preferred degree of moisture content, starting temperature, altitude, volume, size, shape of food and utensils used. As you become familiar with the oven, you will be able to adjust for these factors. 8. It is better to UNDERCOOK RATHER THAN OVERCOOK foods. If food is undercooked, it can always be returned to the oven for further cooking. If food is overcooked, nothing can be done. Always start with minimum cooking times recommended.

Installation and General Instructions (continued) 9. Extreme care should be taken when cooking popcorn in a microwave oven. Cook for minimum time as recommended by manufacturer. Use the directions suitable for the wattage of your microwave oven. NEVER leave oven unattended when popping popcorn. 10. When heating food in plastic or paper containers, check the oven frequently due to the possibility of ignition. 11. The contents of feeding bottles and baby food jars are to be stirred or shaken and the temperature is to be checked before consumption, in order to avoid burns. Microwaves and How They Work Microwaves are a form of high frequency radio waves similar to those used by a radio, including AM, FM and CB. They are similar to a television where the radio waves are converted to a picture on the screen. However, microwaves are much shorter than radio waves; approximately twelve centimetres wave length. Electricity is converted into microwave energy by the magnetron tube (which is the heart of the microwave oven). From the magnetron tube, microwave energy is transmitted to the oven cavity. The microwaves are converted to heat in the food. The microwaves enter from the outside of the food and travel through the food losing half of their power every two to three centimetres. Continued cooking to the centre occurs by conduction. Although pacemakers used to be affected by microwaves (as well as by other radio waves), they are now shielded and are not bothered by these interferences. This allows people with pacemakers to sit calmly by their radio or television and cook with microwave ovens. When microwaves come in contact with a substance, any one or CRISPY GRILL of three things may occur. They can be: 1. REFLECTED 2. TRANSMITTED 3. ABSORBED Refl ection: Metal substances REFLECT microwave energy and because there is no absorption, there is no heating. This is why the oven interior is either stainless steel or epoxy-coated steel. This ensures that the microwaves are kept inside the cavity and evenly distributed throughout the food with the help of the turntable. Transmission: Such substances as paper, glass and plastic TRANSMIT microwave energy and do not become hot except from food. Because these substances do not refl ect or absorb microwave energy, they are ideal materials for microwave cooking containers. Absorption: Food contains moisture and will ABSORB microwave energy, which causes the moisture molecules within the food to vibrate at an incredible rate (2,450,000,000 times per second). Friction, created by the vibration, produces heat energy which is conducted throughout the food. F0003BU00QP_Eng_04_160622.indd 5 2016/6/23 11:22:27

Cookware and Utensils Guide It is important to use the correct container when cooking in a microwave oven. The following will help you make the right selection. How to Test a Container for Safe Microwave Oven Use TO TEST A CONTAINER FOR SAFE MICROWAVE OVEN USE: Fill a 1-cup glass measure with cool water and place it in the microwave oven alongside the empty container to be tested; heat one (1) minute at High. If the container is microwave ovensafe (transparent to microwave energy), the container should remain comfortably cool, the water in glass measure 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. Paper Products and Freezer Wrap Waxed paper, paper plates, cups and napkins should not be used for heating or cooking food. Freezer wrap should not be used as it is not heat resistant and may melt. Paper towel, greaseproof paper and bake paper may be safely used for short periods of time for covering or lining. Glass, Ceramic and China Heat-Resistant glass cookware is invaluable in microwave cooking. Many of these items are readily available in most homes: glass jugs, mixing bowls, loaf dishes, covered casseroles, oblong baking dishes, pie plates and round or square cake dishes. Examples of this type of cookware are Pyrex® and Corningware®. Dinnerware can be used for microwave heating. Many brands of dinnerware are microwave safe. Check the care information for reference to microwave use for dinnerware and serving pieces. If dinnerware is marked ovenproof, it frequently is safe to use in the microwave oven. However, to be sure, check by conducting microwave dish test previously mentioned. Several types of glassware and dinnerware are not recommended for use in the microwave oven. Do not use dishes with metallic trim or containers with metal parts. Do not use cups or mugs with glued on handles, as they may fall off with continued heating. Do not use delicate glassware. Although the glassware may be transparent to microwave energy the heat from the food may cause the glassware to crack. Plastic Plastic dishes, cups and some freezer containers should be used with care in a microwave oven. Choose plastic containers carefully, as some plastic containers may become soft, melt and may scorch. The majority of plastic dishes, even those designed for use in the microwave oven, are not suitable for cooking foods with high fat or sugar content, or for lengthy cooking times. Most microwave plastic dishes should not be used for longer than 3 to 5 minutes on High power. These dishes, although not suitable for extended cooking, may be used successfully for defrosting or for use on lower power levels. Cooking Bags designed to withstand boiling, freezing, or conventional heating are microwave safe. Prepare bags according to manufacturer’s directions. When cooking by microwave, DO NOT use wire twist-ties to close bag. They can act as an antenna and cause arcing (sparks). DO NOT COOK IN PLASTIC FOOD STORAGE BAGS. Plastic Wrap such as GLAD WRAP® can be used to cover dishes in most recipes. Over an extended heating time, some disfi guration of the wrap may occur. When removing plastic wrap “covers”, as well as any glass lid, be careful to remove it away from you to avoid steam burns. Loosen plastic but let dish stand, covered. Jars and Bottles Jars and bottles can be used to warm food to serving temperature, if the lid is removed fi rst. Cooking should not be done in these containers since most are not heat resistant and during extended heating times, heat from food would cause cracking or breaking. Metal Metal cookware or utensils, or those with metallic trim, should NOT be used in the microwave. Since microwave energy is refl ected by metal, foods in metal containers will not cook evenly. There is also a possibility of “arcing”. Although metal utensils should be avoided in microwave cooking, some metal can be helpful when used correctly. Aluminum foil can be used safely, if certain guidelines are followed, to prevent overcooking. Small pieces of foil are used to shield areas such as chicken wings, tips of roasts, or other thin parts that cook before the rest of the recipe is fi nished. Make sure foil is attached securely and doesn’t touch sides of oven, otherwise arcing may occur. Foil lined containers, either cardboard or plastic, should NOT be used in the microwave oven as arcing could occur. Metal twist-ties, either paper or plastic coated, should NOT be used in the microwave oven. Frozen dinner trays can be used in the microwave, if the container is no deeper than 2 cm and is fi lled with food. Metal skewers can not be used in microwave ovens as arcing may occur. Wooden skewers are readily available and give the same result. Shells: Scalloped baking shells are best used during reheating and for short periods of cooking time only. Thermometers are available for use in microwave ovens. DO NOT USE CONVENTIONAL MERCURY TYPE CANDY OR MEAT THERMOMETERS in food while cooking in the microwave oven. Straw, Wicker and Wood Straw and wicker baskets may be used in the microwave oven for short periods of time to warm rolls or bread. Large wooden utensils, such as bowls or cutting boards should NOT be used for prolonged heating as the microwave energy may cause the wood to become dry and brittle.

Before Requesting Service ALL THESE THINGS ARE NORMAL: The oven causes interference with my TV. Some radio, TV, Wi-Fi, cordless telephone, baby monitor, blue tooth or other wireless equipment interference might occur when you cook with the microwave oven. This interference is similar to the interference caused by small appliances such as mixers, vacuums, blow dryers, etc. It does not indicate a problem with your oven. Steam accumulates on the oven door and warm air comes from the oven vents. During cooking, steam and warm air are given off from the food. Most of the steam and warm air are removed from the oven by the air which circulates in the oven cavity. However, some steam will condense on cooler surfaces such as inside and/or on the oven door. This is normal and safe. Steam will disappear after the oven is cool down. I accidentally operate my microwave oven without any food in it. Operating the oven empty for a short time will not damage the oven. However, we do not recommend this to be done. There are humming and clicking noises from my oven when I cook by Combination. These noise occur as the oven automatically switch the Grill. This is normal. The oven has an odour and generates smoke when using Combination, Oven, Crispy Grill and Grill function. It is essential that your oven is wiped out regularly particularly after cooking by Combination, Oven, Crispy Grill and Grill function. Any fat and grease that builds up on the roof and walls of the oven will begin to smoke if not cleaned. Some smoke will be given off from the cavity when using grill, Combination, Oven, Crispy Grill and Grill for the first time. It caused by the excessive oil in the cavity and oil used for rust protection volatilizing. F0003BU00QP_Eng_04_160622.indd 51 2016/6/23 11:22:39

Care of your Microwave Oven Turn the oven off and remove the power plug from the wall socket before cleaning. If steam accumulates inside or around the outside of the oven door, wipe with a soft cloth. This may occur when the microwave oven is operated under high humidity conditions and in no way indicates malfunction of the unit. Wire Rack Grill Tray Notes: 1. When using the Grill, Crispy Grill, Oven or Combination mode, some foods may inevitably splatter grease on to the oven walls. If the oven is not cleaned, occasionally it may start to "smoke" during use. These marks will be more difficult to clean later. 2. After Grill, Crispy Grill, Oven or Combination cooking, the ceiling and walls of the oven should be cleaned with a soft cloth squeezed in soapy water. Particular care should be taken to keep the window area clean particularly after cooking by Grill, Combination. Stubborn spots inside the oven can be removed by using a small amount of microwave oven cleaner sprayed onto a soft damp cloth. Wipe onto problem spots, leave for recommended time and then wipe off. This method can not be used to clean the oven door. DO NOT SPRAY DIRECTLY INSIDE THE OVEN. A steam cleaner is not to be used for cleaning. 3. Failure to maintain the oven in a clean condition could lead to deterioration of the surface that could adversely affect the life of the appliance and possibly result in a hazardous situation. 4. When it becomes necessary to replace the oven light, please consult the service center specified by Panasonic. The outside oven 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. Always clean the Flat Table after cooling down with a mild detergent and wipe to dry. 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. The use of harsh detergent or abrasives is not recommended. Do not allow the Control Panel to become wet. Clean with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use detergents, abrasives or spray-on cleaners on the Control Panel. When cleaning the Control Panel, leave oven door open to prevent oven from accidentally turning on. After cleaning press Stop/Reset pad to clear display window. Clean the upper heater after it is completely cold. Wipe with a soft and damp cloth carefully to avoid breaking the heater and hurting your fingers by the broken heater. 1. Always keep the drip tray clean. 2. Clean and wipe dry after use. 3.

Microwave Recipe Techniques Microwaves penetrate the surface of the food to a depth of about two to three centimetres and then the heat is gradually conducted in a random pattern. Some parts of food matter cook faster than others. Special microwave techniques are used to promote fast and even cooking. Some of these techniques are similar to those used in conventional cooking, but because microwaves produce heat very quickly these following techniques are extremely important. It’s a must for you to be familiar with the following tips. Food Characteristics Size and Quantity Small portions cook faster than large portions. As you increase the quantity of food you put into the microwave oven, you must also increase your cooking time. The microwave oven has the same power regardless of quantity; thus the power is divided between more items and so it takes longer to cook. As a general guide, if you double the quantity of food suggested in the recipe, add half the time suggested again. Liquid Content Low moisture foods take a shorter time to cook than foods with a lot of moisture. Shape Uniform sizes cook more evenly. To compensate for irregular shapes, place thin pieces towards the centre of the dish and thicker pieces towards the outer edge of the dish. Bone and Fat Bones conduct heat and cause the meat next to them to be heated more quickly. Large amounts of fat absorb microwave energy and the meat next to these areas may overcook. Starting Temperature Food which has been sitting at room temperature takes less time to cook than refrigerated or frozen food. Density and Composition Porous, airy foods (cakes and breads) take less time to cook than heavy compacted foods (meat and vegetables). Recipes high in fat and sugar content cook more quickly. Key to Symbols Used in Recipes Microwave Steam Grill Crispy grill Oven Techniques for Preparation Timing A range of cooking times is given in each recipe for two reasons. First, to allow for the uncontrollable differences in food shapes, starting temperatures and personal preferences. Secondly, these allow for the differences in electrical voltage input which changes during peak load periods. Always remember that it is easier to add time to undercooked food. Once the food is overcooked, nothing can be done. For each recipe, an approximate cooking time is given. Stirring Stirring is often necessary during microwave cooking. We have noted when stirring is helpful in the recipes. Always bring the outside edges towards the centre and the centre portions to the outside. Rearranging or Turning Some foods should be turned in the container during cooking. For example, because of the different thicknesses in the breast and back sections of poultry, it is a good idea to turn poultry over once to ensure more even cooking. Rearranging or turning over uneven shaped food in the dish should be done as suggested to ensure a satisfactory result. Rearrange small items such as chicken pieces, prawns, hamburger patties, steak or chops. Rearrange pieces from the centre to the edge of the dish. Cooking in Layers This microwave oven is not designed to cook more than 1 layer of food. Cooking in 2 layers may not always be successful, it takes longer and may be uneven. You can successfully reheat two dinner plates of food at one time but remember to increase the reheating time and use a microwave warming rack. Piercing of Foods Pierce the skin or membrane of foods such as whole potatoes when cooked whole in the microwave oven. This allows steam to escape. If the skin has not been pierced, food may burst. Cured Meats Cured meats may overcook in some areas due to the high concentration of salts used in the curing process. So take care when cooking different brands of bacon as cooking times may vary slightly. Soups Use a bowl and stir before heating and at least once through reheat time and again at the end.

Microwave Recipe Techniques Techniques for Preparation Covering Covering food minimizes the microwave cooking time. Because microwave cooking is done with time and not direct heat, the rate of evaporation cannot be easily controlled. However, this can be corrected by using different materials to cover dishes. Plastic wrap is the best substitute for a lid as it creates a tighter seal and so it retains more heat and steam. Wax paper and paper towels hold the heat in but not the steam. These materials also prevent splattering. Use a paper towel, wax paper or no cover when steam is not needed for tenderising. Browning Meats and poultry, when cooked longer than 10 to 15 minutes, will brown from their own fat. Foods cooked for shorter periods of time can be aided with the help of a browning sauce, worcestershire sauce or soy sauce. Simply brush one of these sauces over meat or poultry before cooking. Baked goods do not need long cooking time and therefore, do not brown. When cakes or cupcakes are iced, no one will notice the visual difference. For cakes or cupcakes, brown sugar can be used in the recipe in place of caster sugar or the surface can be sprinkled with dark spices before baking. Standing Time The moisture molecules continue to vibrate in the food when the microwave oven has turned itself off. After all, the molecules were vibrating at 2,450,000,000 times per second during cooking. So cooking continues even after the food is no longer being exposed to the microwaves whether in or outside your microwave oven. Standing time refers to the time it takes (after the microwave time is completed) to allow the interior of the food to fi nish cooking. The amount of standing time varies with the size and density of the food. In meat cookery, the internal temperature will rise between 5 °C and 10 °C if allowed to stand covered for ten to fi fteen minutes. Casserole and vegetables need shorter standing time, but this time is necessary to allow foods to complete cooking in the centre without overcooking on the edges. The power level used in microwave cooking also determines the standing time. For example, when using a lower power level the standing time is shorter because of a lower concentration of heat in the food. Foods should always be kept covered while standing in order to retain the heat. If a longer standing time is required (while you cook another food to serve with the fi rst, for instance), cover with aluminum foil. Converting Your Favourite Conventional Recipes for Microwave Cooking When adapting conventional recipes for microwave cooking, time are reduced considerably. For example, a chicken which takes 1 hour to cook in a moderate oven will take 15 to 20 minutes on 800 W in your microwave oven. Use similar microwave recipes to help you adapt conventional recipes. Remember, it is always best to undercook a recipe and then add an extra minute or two to fi nish it off. Here are some other tips that may help: • Reduce liquids in a conventional recipe by one half to two thirds, e.g. 1 cup (250 ml) should be reduced to 1⁄2 cup (125 ml). • Add more thickening such as fl our or cornfl our to sauces and gravies if you do not reduce the liquid. • Reduce seasonings slightly in a recipe where ingredients do not have time to simmer by microwave. • Do not salt meats, poultry or vegetables before cooking; otherwise, they will toughen and dry out. • If one ingredient takes longer to cook than the others, pre-cook it in the microwave oven fi rst. Onion, celery and potato are examples. • When cooking meat or vegetables, omit any oil or fat that would have been used in a conventional recipe for browning. • Reduce leavening agents for cakes by one quarter and increase liquids by one quarter. • Biscuits require a stiff dough. Increase fl our by about 20 percent. Substitute brown sugar for white sugar and use biscuit recipes that have dark spices or require icing. Because of the short cooking time, biscuits don’t have time to brown. Chill dough for half an hour before baking. This produces a crisper biscuit. Bake biscuits on a glass tray lined with greaseproof paper. • Since microwaves penetrate foods about two centimetres from the top, bottom and sides, mixtures in round shapes and rings cook more evenly. Corners receive more energy and may overcook. • Items with a lot of water, such as rice and pasta, cook in about the same time as they would on a conventional stove. (Refer to Rice and Pasta chapter.) Select recipes that convert easily to microwave cooking such as casserole, stews, baked chicken, fi sh and vegetable dishes. The results from foods such as grilled meats, cooked souffl es or two-crust pies could be less than satisfactory. Never attempt to deep fry in your microwave oven.

Microwave Recipe Techniques Menu Planning for Microwave Cooking How to Keep Everything Hot at The Same Time Plan your meals so that the food will not all need last minute cooking or attention at the same time. The special features of microwave cookery make it easy to serve meals with everything piping hot. Cooking of some foods may be interrupted while you start others, without harming the nutritional value or fl avour of either. A recipe which requires standing time can be microwaved fi rst and another food cooked while it stands. Dishes prepared in advance can be reheated briefl y before serving. It does take some experience and time to cook with confi dence. Microwaves are fast so you will have to do some experimenting. You might fi nd you will use your conventional range in conjunction with your microwave oven. For example, while cooking the roast in the microwave oven, you can be cooking the vegetables and gravy on the range top. This can also be done the other way around. Prepare your meals as follows. 1. Firstly, cook the most dense item (roast or casserole). Drain and retain meat juice from joints then cover with foil. 2. Cook the potatoes, rice or pasta. 3. Cover with foil for standing. 4. Cook greens and other vegetables. 5. Cover with foil for standing. 6. Cook the gravy with the retained meat juices, stock and thickening. 7. Carve the roast and serve the vegetables and gravy. While you are learning to plan meals, you may get a bit behind time. Don’t worry. Dinner servings may be suitably reheated on 800 W, for 1 to 2 minutes per serving. If you prefer not to use foil, cover food with saucepan lids. A metal lid will retain the heat for at least 15 minutes. Meanwhile, how can you cook all the vegetables at the same time? Simply place potatoes and pumpkin in one dish and less dense vegetables such as broccoli, cabbage, caulifl ower, beans and peas in another. Sprinkle greens with water. Cover with a lid or plastic wrap. Cook on 1000 W for approximately 10 to 15 minutes for a serving for four people. Remember, if you increase the quantity of vegetables, increase the cooking time. Fresh and frozen vegetables can be mixed on a vegetable platter, but remember the latter are not as dense as fresh vegetables, as they have been blanched before freezing. If vegetables are cut to a similar size, they can be cooked in separate ramekins or small dishes at the same time. Handy Hints and Tips • To blanch (1 cup) nuts, place in a pie plate. Cover with hot tap water and heat on 1000 W for 2 to 3 minutes. Rinse in cold water and rub between sheets of paper towel to remove skins. • To toast coconut, place half a cup on a paper towel, and cook on 1000 W for 1 to 2 minutes, stirring occasionally. • To make buttered breadcrumbs, combine 1 cup breadcrumbs and 2 tablespoon butter and heat on 1000 W for 1 to 2 minutes, stirring occasionally. • When heating 100 g baby food, select 1000 W for 15 to 30 seconds, depending on the amount of food or liquid and the starting temperature of it. Test temperature before serving or further heating. • For an added touch at dinner parties, steam your own hand towels. Saturate in cold water, wring and place on a plate. Heat on 1000 W for 1 to 2 minutes. • To soften cream cheese or butter, place in oven on 300 W for ½ to 1 minutes per ½ cup. • Refrigerated cheese (250 g) can be heated to room temperature on 600 W for ½ to 1 minute, depending on size. • When having a barbecue, partially cook food in the microwave, season and fi nish cooking on the barbecue. • To melt chocolate, place 100 g broken chocolate in a 4 cup glass jug and heat on 600 W for 2 to 3 minutes. As chocolate holds its shape after heating, stir and stand before adding extra time to cooking. • To remove oven odours, combine ½ teaspoon vanilla essence with 1 cup water in a small bowl and heat on 1000 W 4 to 5 minutes. Wipe oven interior with a damp cloth. • To toast 1 cup almonds place onto a plate and heat on 1000 W for 2 to 3 minutes, stirring every minute. • To dry herbs, arrange ½ cup of leaves evenly on paper towel. Place a mug of water into the oven next to the herbs and cook on 1000 W for 1 to 3 minutes, or until dry and crumbly. Check herbs frequently as timing may vary with different herbs. Please note that herbs dry and crumble on standing outside the microwave oven. • To soften dried fruit, place 1 cup of dried fruit into a small bowl. Add 2 tablespoon of water, cover with plastic wrap and cook on 1000 W for 2 to 3 minutes. • To skin tomatoes, place 1 cup of hot tap water in a 2 to 3 cup jug or bowl and heat on 1000 W for 1½ minutes or until boiling. Add 1 tomato and heat for a further 20 to 30 seconds, remove and repeat procedure with remaining tomatoes.

Poultry Cooking Season as desired, but salt after cooking. Browning sauce (e.g. soy, Worcestershire) mixed with equal parts of butter will enhance the appearance. Poultry may be stuffed or unstuffed. Tie legs together with cotton string. Place on microwave rack set in a rectangular dish. Place poultry breast-side down: turn over halfway through cooking. Cover with wax paper to prevent splattering. If the poultry is not cooked enough return it to the oven and cook a few more minutes DO NOT USE A CONVENTIONAL MEAT THERMOMETER IN THE MICROWAVE OVEN. Let stand, covered with foil, 10 to 15 minutes after cooking. Standing time allows the temperature to equalise throughout the food and fi nishes the cooking process. If a large amount of juice accumulates in the bottom of the baking dish occasionally drain it. If desired, reserve for making gravy. Less-tender birds should be cooked in liquid such as soup or broth. Use ¼ cup per 500 g of poultry. Use an oven cooking bag or covered casserole. Select a covered casserole dish deep enough so that bird does not touch the lid. Directions for Cooking Whole Poultry by Microwave After cooking, check the internal temperature of the bird with a microwave or conventional meat thermometer, inserted into the thigh muscle. Check temperature in both muscles. The thermometer should not touch bone. If it does, the reading could be inaccurate. A thermometer cannot be accurately inserted into a small bird. To check desired cooking of a small bird, juices should be clear and the drumsticks should readily move up and down. During cooking it may be necessary to shield legs, wings and the breast bone to prevent overcooking. Wooden toothpicks can be used to hold foil in place. If an oven cooking bag is used, prepare according to package directions. Do not use wire twist-ties to close bag. Use only nylon tie, a piece of cotton string, or a strip cut from the open end of the bag. Make six 2 cm slits in top of bag. F0003BU00QP_CB_2016023.indd 90 2016/6/23 11:30:37

Place duck on Wire Rack set on on a heat proof and microwave safe dish. Drain juices from dish once during cooking. Directions for Cooking Poultry by Combination Whole Turkey (2 kg to 6 kg): Place turkey on Wire Rack set on a heat proof and microwave safe dish. Halfway through cooking, shield tops of drumsticks with a strip of foil. (Foil should not touch oven walls, as arcing may occur.) Drain juice from dish once during cooking. After cooking allow to stand, covered, for 10 minutes. This stand time allows for easier carving and fi nishes cooking. During stand time test for desired cooking. Small poultry is cooked when juices run clear and the drumsticks readily move up and down. Large poultry should be checked with a meat thermometer inserted in both thigh joints. If thermometer touches bone, the reading may be inaccurate. DO NOT USE A CONVENTIONAL OR MICROWAVE THERMOMETER IN THE OVEN WHEN COOKING BY COMBINATION. If poultry is undercooked, cook a few more minutes. Arrange pieces skin-side up, and evenly spread in a shallow dish.

Main Fare Meats For best results, select roasts that are uniform in shape. Place meat on a microwave suitable rack in a rectangular dish. Beef rib roast should be placed cut- side down. Other bone-in roasts should be placed fat-side down. Boneless roasts should be placed fat- side up. Halfway through cooking turn roasts. Meats can be shielded at the beginning of cooking or halfway through cooking. If you wish to shield at the beginning of cooking, remove foil halfway through the cooking time. Beef and pork rib roasts should be shielded by the bones. Foil should extend about 5 cm down from bones. The shank, thin ends of boneless roasts should also be shielded. Loosely cover baking dish with wax paper or paper towel to prevent splatter. If a large amount of juice accumulates in the bottom of the dish, drain occasionally. If desired, reserve for making gravy. Directions for Cooking Tender Cuts of Meat by Microwave After heating, check temperature using a meat thermometer. The thermometer should not touch bone or fat. If it does, the reading could be inaccurate. Lower temperatures are found in the centre of the roast and in the muscle close to a large bone, such as a pork loin centre rib roast. If the temperatures are low, return meat to the oven and cook a few more minutes. DO NOT USE A CONVENTIONAL MEAT THERMOMETER IN THE MICROWAVE OVEN. Let stand, covered with foil, 10 to 15 minutes. During standing time the internal temperature equalises and the temperature rises 5 °C to 10 °C Half hams should be shielded by wrapping an 8 cm wide strip of foil around the large end of the ham. Secure to the body of the ham with wooden toothpicks. Fold 3 cm over cut surface. For shank ham halves, shield shank bone by cupping it with foil. One third of the way through cooking, remove ham from oven and cut off skin. Turn fat-side up and re shield edges. If desired, glaze last 10 to 20 minutes of cooking. Canned hams should be shielded on the top cut-edge with a 3 cm strip of foil. Wrap strip of foil around ham and secure to body of ham with wooden toothpicks. Fold 2 cm over cut surface. If desired, glaze last 10 to 20 minutes of cooking. F0003BU00QP_CB_2016023.indd 97 2016/6/23 11:30:37

Main Fare Meats Less-tender cuts of meat such as pot roasts should be cooked in liquid. Use ½ to 1 cup of soup, broth, etc per 500 g of meat. Use an oven cooking bag or covered casserole when cooking less-tender cuts of meat. Select a covered casserole deep enough so that the meat does not touch the lid. Directions for Cooking Less-Tender Cuts of Meat by Microwave If an oven cooking bag is used, prepare the bag according to package directions. Do not use wire or metal twist-ties. Use the nylon tie provided, otherwise, use a piece of cotton string or a strip cut from the open end of the bag. Make six 2 cm slits in top of bag to allow steam to escape. Season roast as desired, but add salt after cooking. Salt can be used for cooking Pork crackling. Beef, Pork and Lamb Roasts: Place fat-side down on Wire Rack with a heat proof and microwave safe dish underneath to catch drips. Place pork rib roasts, rib tips down on Wire Rack. Shield thin ends, cut edges and bony areas to prevent overcooking. To shield, place a thin strip of foil over top cut edges of roast. Cover tapered thinner section of roast with a small square of foil. (Foil should not touch sides of the oven, as arcing may occur.) Remove foil halfway through cooking time. Always turn meats over halfway through cooking. Canned Ham (1.5 kg to 2.5 kg): Place on Wire Rack set on a heat proof and microwave safe dish. Shield top cut edge with a 4 cm wide strip of foil. Fold foil over top cut edge and down the sides. (Foil should not touch oven sides, as arcing may occur.) Directions for Cooking Meats by Combination Pot Roast (1.2 kg to 1.75 kg): Place meat, vegetables and seasonings in large oven proof casserole dish. Cover with a lid. If desired, the pot roast may be cooked in an oven cooking bag. Prepare the oven cooking bag according to package directions. Do not use wire or metal twist-ties. Use the nylon ties provided, or use a piece of cotton string or a strip cut from the oven bag. Place bag in oven proof casserole dish. Place dish on fl at table. Always turn meats over halfway through cooking. As with Microwave cooking, roasts cooked by Combination will continue to cook during the stand time. During stand time check the internal temperature of the roast using a Microwave or conventional thermometer. The thermometer should not touch bone or fat. If it does, the reading could be inaccurate. If the temperatures are lower than desired, return the roast to the oven and cook a few more minutes. DO NOT USE A MICROWAVE OR CONVENTIONAL MEAT THERMOMETER IN THE OVEN WHEN COOKING BY COMBINATION. Stand 10 to 15 minutes before carving. F0003BU00QP_CB_2016023.indd 98 2016/6/23 11:30:38
