Наблюдения показывают, что в своем отношении к микроволновым печам наши соотечественники разделились на два неравных лагеря. В подавляющем большинстве оказались те, которые используют микроволновку лишь для разогрева готовых блюд (в крайнем случае — для разморозки продуктов). Многие пользователи даже спустя годы после покупки микроволновой печи остаются в неведении относительно всех ее задокументированных способностей.
В меньшинстве остаются те, кто использует микроволновки «по полной»: осведомлены о наличии встроенных программ, знают, когда использовать гриль, а когда конвекцию и т. п. В нашем сегодняшнем обзоре — многофункциональная микроволновая печь, представленная компанией Samsung (MC28H5013). Мы решили разобраться, насколько широки возможности такого устройства, и насколько рационально использовать микроволновку в качестве замены более традиционных кухонных приборов.

Комплектация
Микроволновая печь поставляется в коробке, выполненной в строгой цветовой гамме: на картонном фоне черным цветом нанесены изображения и текстовая информация, из которой пользователь может ознакомиться с основными функциями микроволновой печи.
Судя по такому «спартанскому» дизайну, коробка не предназначена для выставления на витрину, а ее предназначение — исключительно функциональное: сохранить в целости и сохранности прибор до момента его распаковки. Помимо толстого картона для защиты печи используются пенопластовые вкладки.
Открыв коробку, внутри можно обнаружить:
- саму печь;
- две решетки для жарки (высокая и низкая);
- инструкцию (она же книга рецептов);
- гарантийный талон.
В комплект также входят такие стандартные элементы, как стеклянный поднос и вращающееся кольцо под ним. В общем, как мы видим: здесь есть все необходимое, и нет ничего лишнего.
Материал внутреннего покрытия
Внутренние стенки камеры покрыты биокерамической эмалью, которая, по утверждению производителя, служит защитой от бактерий, легко очищается, устойчива к царапинам и прослужит 10 лет.
В нижней части находится элемент из жаропрочного пластика, на который устанавливается вращающееся кольцо и стеклянный поднос. Внутренняя поверхность дверцы — жаропрочное стекло, уплотнитель, металл. В механизм дверцы встроены блокировочные контакты, которые не дадут как включить печь с открытой дверцей, так и приостановят любой режим приготовления при ее открывании во время готовки.
Управление
Внешний вид микроволновой печи также можно назвать классическим: это прямоугольный параллелепипед белого цвета с дверцей из стекла с черной металлической сеткой и панелью управления спереди и стальной поверхностью — сзади. Открывается печь классическим для микроволновок образом: нужно потянуть за ручку дверцы.
Управление производится с помощью плоской панели, в верхней части которой находится дисплей, в режиме бездействия предназначенный для демонстрации текущего времени, при выборе режима отображающий уже введенные параметры, а при работе устройства — показывающий время, оставшееся до окончания приготовления (а также установленную температуру в режиме конвекции). Помимо цифр, на дисплее отображаются пиктограммы.
Во время работы камера микроволновки подсвечивается, так что за процессом приготовления вашего блюда можно наблюдать. Впрочем, подсветку нельзя назвать слишком яркой, так что нужно быть готовым к тому, что в первое время придется периодически заглядывать внутрь, чтобы проконтролировать степень готовности блюда. Причем гораздо чаще это придется делать, если приготовление происходит на верхней решетке, когда блюдо с продуктами видно плохо.
Разобраться с управлением Samsung MC28H5013, не прибегая к чтению инструкции, возможно лишь частично. Без проблем удастся выставить время, запустить режим разогрева, конвекции или комбинированный режим (СВЧ+гриль/СВЧ+конвекция). Для всех остальных режимов и программ потребуется инструкция, в которой содержатся разъяснения, касающиеся того, что именно кроется под тем или иным номером программы.
Управление микроволновой печью осуществляется с помощью 17 кнопок, с помощью которых можно установить один из возможных режимов работы (время, мощность, способ приготовления), либо выбрать программу для автоматического приготовления того или иного блюда. Для разморозки может потребоваться также указать вес продукта. Кнопки нажимаются легко, а каждое нажатие сопровождается звуковыми сигналом. На каждой кнопке содержится пиктограмма и текстовое пояснение на русском языке. Единственный недостаток — отсутствие подсветки. В условиях недостаточной освещенности, а также, когда прибор установлен выше или ниже уровня глаз, нередко приходится приглядываться для того, чтобы рассмотреть надписи.
Перечислим эти кнопки и дадим краткие пояснения:
- Русская кухня, Домашние рецепты — выбор номера предустановленной программы, рассчитанной на приготовление определенного блюда из книги рецептов, раздела «Русская кухня»;
- Здоровое питание — выбор номера предустановленной программы, рассчитанной на приготовление определенного блюда из книги рецептов, раздела «Здоровое питание» (приготовление каш и макарон, овощей, рыбы и курицы);
- Ферментация (тесто/йогурт) — выбор номера программы для расстойки разного типа теста, а также для приготовления домашнего йогурта;
- Конвекция — выбор режима конвекции (от 40 до 200 градусов, до 60 минут);
- Гриль — выбор режима «гриль» (до 60 минут);
- СВЧ — выбор времени приготовления и мощности (от 100 до 900 ватт);
- Быстрая разморозка — потребуется указать тип продукта и его вес;
- СВЧ+Гриль/СВЧ+конвекция — выбор соответствующего комбинированного режима (с установкой мощности для СВЧ и температуры для конвекции);
- Блокировка управления;
- Вращение подноса — (вкл/откл);
- Устранение запахов — режим самоочистки микроволновой печи;
- Часы — установка времени
Также присутствуют кнопки «Больше»/«Меньше», кнопка «Выбор», кнопка «+30 сек», кнопка запуска «Старт» и кнопка остановки «Стоп», которая также служит для перевода прибора в режим энергосбережения.
Как мы уже говорили, перед началом использования рекомендуется прочитать инструкцию. При этом желательно как минимум «по диагонали» просмотреть все разделы, а не только тот, в котором описана процедура, которой пользователь хочет воспользоваться в данный момент.
Несмотря на то, что функций довольно много, запутаться в них сложно: для выполнения большинства действий достаточно четко следовать указаниям, приведенным в инструкции.
Уровень мощности микроволн варьируется от низкого до высокого. Как водится, производитель приводит таблицу, выраженную в ваттах, что намекает на то, что в зависимости от выбранного режима мощность действительно меняется. Однако результаты наших замеров ставят это предположение под сомнение: в режиме микроволн энергопотребление всегда имело только 2 градации: максимальную и минимальную.
Диапазон задаваемых при конвекции температур составляет от 40 до 230 градусов (с шагом в 10). Это отличный разброс, позволяющий не только готовить традиционные блюда, но также экспериментировать с приготовлением на низких температурах (в том числе вручную установить режим расстойки теста, если нужного не нашлось в предустановленных программах).
Инструкция и книга рецептов
Инструкция на 44 страницах содержит подробную информацию, касающуюся всех вопросов, с которыми можно столкнуться в ходе использования прибора. Тут можно найти рекомендации, касающиеся выбора посуды, советы о том, на какой подставке лучше готовить то или иное блюдо, как лучше размораживать тот или иной продукт и т. д.
В инструкцию также включена книга рецептов, содержащая 60 рецептов в разделе «Русская кухня», 15 рецептов в разделе «Здоровое питание», а также 3 рецепта теста (пицца, кекс, хлеб) и рецепт йогурта (для соответствующих режимов), 10 рецептов для гриля, руководство по приготовлению свежих и замороженных овощей, по приготовлению риса и макаронных изделий, инструкции по разогреву детского питания, и даже специальные советы, касающиеся растапливания сливочного масла или засахарившегося меда, приготовления глазури или подрумянивания миндаля. Несложно подсчитать, что даже если готовить каждое из приведенных блюд по одному разу, то такого рациона хватит на несколько месяцев разнообразного питания.
Эксплуатация
Подготовка к использованию
Печь рекомендуется установить как отдельно стоящую на ровной горизонтальной поверхности на высоте не менее 85 см от пола, обеспечив зазор размером минимум 20 см сверху и 10 см сзади. Очевидно, что под тестируемый агрегат должно быть выделено стационарное место: переносить печь с места на место довольно трудоемкая задача. Перед первым использованием рекомендуется протереть печь влажной тканью и удалить внутренние компоненты и уплотнение дверцы.
Также настоятельно рекомендуется ознакомиться с инструкцией: в ней содержатся ответы на многие неочевидные вопросы, с которыми неизбежно придется столкнуться в ходе эксплуатации печи.
Также производитель рекомендует произвести установку часов перед началом эксплуатации. На качество приготовления продуктов это не повлияет, к тому же при каждом отключении от питания часы будут обнуляться. Энергонезависимой памяти, к сожалению, у данной печи не предусмотрено, так что в случае отключения электропитания часы придется выставлять заново, да и продолжить выполнение ранее запущенной программы не удастся.
Уход за микроволновкой
Все аксессуары — решетки, противень, а также стеклянный диск — легко моются в посудомоечной машине. Корпус и стеклянная дверца протирается помощью влажной салфетки с моющим средством, абразивы и растворители производитель применять категорически не рекомендует.
При наличии сильных загрязнений рекомендуется вскипятить внутри прибора стакан воды. Также существует специальная программа «Устранение запахов», предназначенная для удаления дыма и пара из микроволновой печи после завершения приготовления блюда.
Тестирование
Объективные тесты
В тесте на скорость нагрева в стандартную ГОСТ-овскую поллитровую банку наливается 500 мл воды с температурой 20 °C, после чего она нагревается определенное количество времени в режиме микроволн на максимальной мощности и потом, после перемешивания, температура воды измеряется повторно. Результаты тестирования вы можете видеть в таблице.
Время | Температура |
30 сек | 30 °C |
1 мин | 37 °C |
2 мин | 54 °C |
3 мин | 70 °C |
4 мин | 79 °C |
5 мин | 92 °C |
Также мы провели замеры энергопотребления микроволновой печи в различных режимах работы. Здесь мы (за исключением спящего режима) приводим средние округленные до десятков значения, что вполне соответствует как точности используемого оборудования, так и смыслу требований, которые можно предъявлять к подобным тестам.
Режим | Энергопотребление |
Состояние покоя | от 0,4 до 0,6 Вт |
Микроволны (максимум) | 1420 Вт |
Микроволны (минимум) | сменяющие друг друга состояния: 40 Вт и 1420 Вт |
Гриль (максимум) | 1350 Вт |
Конвекция (максимум) | сменяющие друг друга состояния: 40 Вт и 1790-1840 Вт |
Комби (конвекция+микроволны) | сменяющие друг друга состояния: 40, 1500 и 2000 Вт |
Комби (гриль+микроволны) | сменяющие друг друга состояния: 1300 Вт и 2000 Вт |
Тестовые блюда
В качестве тестовых блюд мы решили приготовить следующее:
- Разморозка тестового образца фарша.
- Печеный картофель в режиме гриль+микроволны.
- Томаты-гриль в режиме гриль+микроволны.
- Курица по-китайски.
- Омлет.
- Лимонные шарики.
- Рис.
- Яйцо пашот.
При выборе режимов мы соблюдали общие рекомендации относительно разных продуктов, взятые из инструкции, а также просто исходили из здравого смысла.
Разморозка фарша
В качестве тестового образца выступил уже знакомый читателям iXBT по предыдущему тестированию фарш Николай весом 800 граммов, состоящий из постной говядины пополам со свининой средней жирности. Фарш был заморожен в виде комка округлой формы.
На устройстве был выбран режим «Быстрая разморозка», программа «Мясо» и установлен вес: 800 граммов. Встроенная программа решила, что для нашего куска фарша будет достаточно чуть больше 12 минут. Через некоторое время (примерно через 4 минуты) печь Samsung (MC28H5013) издала сигнал, после которого фарш требовалось перевернуть. На этот момент визуально фарш почти не начал размораживаться. По истечении 12 минут мы достали наш тестовый фарш и проверили, насколько он разморозился.
Результат нас не обрадовал: разморозилась лишь верхняя часть (1,5-2 сантиметра в глубину), в то время как центральная часть осталась замороженной. Тут нужно отметить, что разработчик «подстраховал» себя на такой случай и добавил, что после завершения программы «Быстрая разморозка» продукт нужно оставить на 20-90 минут. Мы по достоинству оценили данный «ход конем», однако в результате осталось легкое чувство недоумения: что же это за «быстрая разморозка», если на нее может потребоваться без малого два часа времени?
Печеный картофель в режиме гриль+микроволны
Согласно рецепту, картофель нужно разрезать пополам, после чего готовить на высокой подставке на мощности 600 Вт + гриль 7-8 минут. Довольно простой рецепт. Мы взяли картофель средней величины и в точности выполнили инструкции.
Результат: съедобно, но не слишком вкусно. Внутри картофель оказался как будто сваренный, в то время как верхняя часть едва подрумянилась под воздействием гриля. На наш вкус, такое блюдо имело бы смысл готовить на меньшей мощности микроволн и дольше держать под грилем.
Томаты-гриль
После эксперимента с картофелем мы решили протестировать еще один рецепт из раздела «Гриль» и остановили свой выбор на томатах с сыром. Помидоры требуется разрезать пополам, посыпать сверху сыром и разложить на плоском блюде из термоустойчивого стекла. Готовить в режиме 300 Вт + гриль 5-6 минут, после чего дать постоять 2-3 минуты.
Результат оказался примерно тот же, что и в случае с картофелем: сыр, конечно, расплавился и слегка поджарился, а вот половинки томатов на вкус оказались слабо отличимы от сырых и были похожи скорее на «разогретые». Ну а после того, как блюдо остыло, разница и вовсе оказалась незаметной.
Курица по-китайски
Стоит отметить, что в данном рецепте изначально предполагались куриные крылышки, за неимением которых мы воспользовались куриной же голенью. Для маринада предполагалось взять 0,3 ложки соевого соуса, 0,3 чашки меда, 2 ст. л. сухого белого вина, столько же растительного масла, дольку чеснока и немного натертого имбиря.
Предварительно промаринованные куски курицы готовятся на низкой подставке на предустановленной программе из набора «Русская кухня, домашние рецепты». Результат оказался вполне годным: курица равномерно пропеклась и оказалась весьма вкусной. Никаких нареканий.
Омлет
Еще один рецепт из «Русской кухни» — обычный омлет. Три яйца, 30 граммов молока, соль. Взбить и готовить прямо в тарелке на соответствующей программе.
Результат — ниже среднего. По завершении работы автоматической программы омлет оказался откровенно сырым, пришлось доводить его до готовности вручную. К тому же нижняя часть омлета прилипла к тарелке, есть его было не слишком удобно.
Лимонные шарики
Лимонные шарики (еще один рецепт «русской кухни») готовятся из 100 граммов муки, 60 граммов сливочного масла, 40 граммов сахара, полтора яичных желтка, а также небольшого количество лимонной цедры и сахарной пудры.
Готовятся они в два этапа: сначала смешивается тесто и формируются шарики, которые готовятся до сигнала микроволновой печи. После этого шарики требуется смазать яичным желтком, посыпать сахарной пудрой и продолжить приготовление. Результат: ощущение недоумения. По вкусу шарики не сильно отличались от обычного недорогого печенья. Времени было затрачено довольно много, а получившаяся порция вряд ли удовлетворила бы и двух человек. Есть ли смысл вообще начинать готовить ради получения пяти печенек (мини-кексов)?
Рис
Рис промывается, после чего заливается водой в соотношении 1:2 (250 г риса на 500 мл воды) и готовится около 17 минут на максимальной мощности в посуде с закрытой крышкой.
Результат: рис оказался сварен идеально. Впечатление было несколько подпорчено тем, что кипящая вода просочилась под крышку и вылилась на вращающийся круг микроволновки.
Яйцо пашот
Приступая к приготовлению этого блюда, мы были изначально настроены на неудачу. Яйцо-пашот — не самое простое блюдо, а тут его к тому же предполагается готовить на автоматической программе.
Согласно рецепту, нужно взять 300 мл воды и добавить туда 10-15 мл 15%-ного уксуса. Чашу с водой следует поместить в микроволновую печь, довести воду до кипения (микроволновка сама подаст сигнал в нужный момент), после чего размешать воду до появления воронки, вбить в нее разбитое яйцо и готовить до завершения приготовления (т. е. до сигнала печи, а не до истечения времени работы программы).
Результат: отлично. Мы были откровенно удивлены тому, насколько качественно отработала программа. Даже небольшое количество воды, выкипевшей через край чаши, не омрачило наше впечатление.
Выводы
Тестирование микроволновой печи Samsung с грилем и конвекцией (модель MC28H5013) было для нас весьма познавательным. Поскольку возможности прибора достаточно широки, мы смогли попробовать его в самых разных качествах. Ну а наличие большого числа рецептов позволило не задумываться о том, что именно в нем можно приготовить.
В результате мы убедились, что микроволновая печь может послужить полноценной заменой духового шкафа для небольшой семьи. Все заявленные функции работают корректно, так что микроволновкой можно одинаково успешно пользоваться как для разогрева, так и для приготовления блюд. Наличие конвекции и гриля, а также возможность комбинировать режимы открывают дополнительные варианты в случае, когда требуется получить румяную корочку или обработать продукт горячим воздухом. Также печь позволяет размораживать продукты, делать йогурты и производить расстойку теста перед выпечкой.
Печь проста в эксплуатации (однако инструкцию прочитать все же придется), надежна и удобна в использовании. Качество материалов и сборки также оказалось на уровне. Пожалуй, единственное, что нам не понравилось — качество приведенных рецептов и соответствующих им программ. Ни одно из вышеперечисленных блюд не вдохновило нас настолько, чтобы нам захотелось приготовить его повторно (кроме, разве что, яйца-пашот). Режим «быстрой разморозки» также оказался малоэффективным: если предполагается использовать микроволновую печь для этой задачи, придется потратить некоторое время на подбор подходящего режима.
В общем, не стоит ждать «ощущения чуда», подобного тому, которое появилось у многих при первом знакомстве с мультиваркой (надо всего лишь порезать ингредиенты, а готовит она сама!).
В случае с микроволновой печью (по крайней мере, с Samsung MC28H5013) такой трюк не пройдет. К этому прибору придется «привыкнуть», точно так же, как приходится привыкать к особенностям той или иной духовки или варочной поверхности. В остальном же Samsung MC28H5013 представляет собой качественный и многофункциональный кухонный прибор, оправдывающий свою цену.
Плюсы
- Высокое качество сборки.
- Простота в управлении.
- Широкая функциональность.
Минусы
- Прибор требует отдельного стационарного места на кухне.
- Посредственное качество приведенных рецептов и некоторых встроенных программ.

If you are in doubt, refer to the section entitled “Troubleshooting” on the 42-43 page. Microwaves are high-frequency electromagnetic waves; the energy released enables food to be cooked or reheated without changing either the form or the colour. You can use your microwave oven to: • Defrost • Reheat • Cook Cooking principle. 1. The microwaves generated by the magnetron reflected at cavity and are distributed uniformly as the food rotates on the turntable. The food is thus cooked evenly. The oven must be plugged into an appropriate wall socket. The turntable must be in position in the oven. If a power level other than the maximum (100 % - 900 W) is used, the water takes longer to boil. Open the oven door by pulling the handle on the right side of the door. Place a glass of water on the turntable. Close the door. 2. The microwaves are absorbed by the food up to a depth of about 1 inch (2.5 cm). Cooking then continues as the heat is dissipated within the food. Operate the Microwave mode and set the time to 4 or 5 minute by pressing the +30s or Up and Down button the appropriate number of time. Result:The oven heats the water for 4 or 5 minutes. The water should then be boiling. 3. Cooking times vary according to the container used and the properties of the food: • Quantity and density • Water content • Initial temperature (refrigerated or not) As the centre of the food is cooked by heat dissipation, cooking continues even when you have taken the food out of the oven. Standing times specified in recipes and in this booklet must therefore be respected to ensure: • Even cooking of the food right to the centre • The same temperature throughout the food.

First clean the oven interior. 1. Press the Deodorisation button after you have finished cleaning. cookware guide To cook food in the microwave oven, the microwaves must be able to penetrate the food, without being reflected or absorbed by the dish used. Care must therefore be taken when choosing the cookware. If the cookware is marked microwave-safe, you do not need to worry. The following table lists various types of cookware and indicates whether and how they should be used in a microwave oven. 2. Press the Start button. Cookware Aluminum foil Microwave-safe Comments ✓✗ Can be used in small quantities to protect areas against overcooking. Arcing can occur if the foil is too close to the oven wall or if too much foil is used. Do not preheat for more than 8 minutes.

Also to absorb excess moisture. ✗ May cause arcing. • Containers ✓ • Cling film ✓ Particularly if heat-resistant thermoplastic. Some other plastics may warp or discolour at high temperatures. Do not use Melamine plastic. Can be used to retain moisture. Should not touch the food. Take care when removing the film as hot steam will escape. Only if boilable or oven-proof. Should not be airtight. Prick with a fork, if necessary. Paper • Plates, cups, napkins and kitchen paper • Recycled paper Plastic • Freezer bags ✓✗ Wax or greaseproof paper ✓ ✓ : Recommended ✓✗ Microwave energy actually penetrates food, attracted and absorbed by its water, fat and sugar content. The microwaves cause the molecules in the food to move rapidly. The rapid movement of these molecules creates friction and the resulting heat cooks the food. COOKING Cookware for microwave cooking: Cookware must allow microwave energy to pass through it for maximum efficiency. Microwaves are reflected by metal, such as stainless steel, aluminium and copper, but they can penetrate through ceramic, glass, porcelain and plastic as well as paper and wood. So food must never be cooked in metal containers. Food suitable for microwave cooking: Many kinds of food are suitable for microwave cooking, including fresh or frozen vegetables, fruit, pasta, rice, grains, beans, fish, and meat. Sauces, custard, soups, steamed puddings, preserves, and chutneys can also be cooked in a microwave oven. Generally speaking, microwave cooking is ideal for any food that would normally be prepared on a hob. Melting butter or chocolate, for example (see the chapter with tips, techniques and hints). 05 COOKWARE GUIDE • Oven-totableware • Fine glassware Covering during cooking To cover the food during cooking is very important, as the evaporated water rises as steam and contributes to cooking process. Food can be covered in different ways: e.g. with a ceramic plate, plastic cover or microwave suitable cling film. Standing times After cooking is over food the standing time is important to allow the temperature to even out within the food. Can be used to retain moisture and prevent spattering. : Use caution ✗ : Unsafe English - 33 MC28H5013AW_BW_DE68-04234A-02_EN.indd 33 2014-07-11 5:12:18 Cooking Guide for frozen vegetables Cooking Guide for fresh vegetables Use a suitable glass pyrex bowl with lid.

Use the power levels and reheating times in the following chart as a guide. The times in the chart consider liquids with a room temperature of about +18 to +20 °C or a chilled food with a temperature of about +5 to +7 °C. BABY FOOD: Empty into a deep ceramic plate. Cover with plastic lid. Stir well after reheating! Let stand for 2-3 minutes before serving. Stir again and check the temperature. Recommended serving temperature: between 30-40 °C. BABY MILK: Pour milk into a sterilised glass bottle. Reheat uncovered. Never heat a baby’s bottle with teat on, as the bottle may explode if overheated. Shake well before standing time and again before serving ! Always carefully check the temperature of baby milk or food before giving it to the baby. Recommended serving temperature: ca. 37 °C. Arranging and covering Avoid reheating large items such as joint of meat - they tend to overcook and dry out before the centre is piping hot. Reheating small pieces will be more successful. Power levels and stirring Some foods can be reheated using 900 W power while others should be reheated using 600 W, 450 W or even 300 W. Check the tables for guidance. In general, it is better to reheat food using a lower power level, if the food is delicate, in large quantities, or if it is likely to heat up very quickly (mince pies, for example). Stir well or turn food over during reheating for best results. When possible, stir again before serving. Take particular care when heating liquids and baby foods. To prevent eruptive boiling of liquids and possible scalding, stir before, during and after heating. Keep them in the microwave oven during standing time. We recommend putting a plastic spoon or glass stick into the liquids. Avoid overheating (and therefore spoiling) the food. It is preferable to underestimate cooking time and add extra heating time, if necessary. Heating and standing times When reheating food for the first time, it is helpful to make a note of the time taken - for future reference. Always make sure that the reheated food is piping hot throughout. Allow food to stand for a short time after reheating - to let the temperature even out. The recommended standing time after reheating is 2-4 minutes, unless another time is recommended in the chart. Take particular care when heating liquids and baby food. See also the chapter with the safety precautions. REMARK: Baby food particularly needs to be checked carefully before serving to prevent burns. Use the power levels and times in the next table as a guide lines for reheating. Reheating Liquids and Food Use the power levels and times in this table as a guide lines for reheating. Food Drinks (Coffee, Tea and Water) Soup (Chilled) REHEATING LIQUIDS Always allow a standing time of at least 20 seconds after the oven has been switched off to allow the temperature to even out. Stir during heating, if necessary, and ALWAYS stir after heating. To prevent eruptive boiling and possible scalding, you should put a spoon or glass stick into the beverages and stir before, during and after heating.

Microwaves gently defrost frozen food in a short period of time. This can be of great advantage, if unexpected guests suddenly show up. Frozen poultry must be thoroughly thawed before cooking. Remove any metal ties and take it out of any wrapping to allow thawed liquid to drain away. Put the frozen food on a dish without cover. Turn over half way, drain off any liquid and remove any giblets as soon as possible. Check the food occasionally to make sure that it does not feel warm. If smaller and thinner parts of the frozen food start to warm up, they can be shield by wrapping very small strips of aluminium foil around them during defrosting. Should poultry start to warm up on the outer surface, stop thawing and allow it to stand for 20 minutes before continuing. Leave the fish, meat and poultry to stand in order to complete defrosting. The standing time for complete defrosting will vary depending on the quantity defrosted. Please refer to the table below. Hint: Food Poultry Chicken Pieces Whole Chicken Fish Fish Fillets Whole Fish Flat food defrosts better than thick and smaller quantities need less time than bigger ones. Remember this hint while freezing and defrosting food. For defrosting of frozen food with a temperature of about -18 to -20 °C, use the following table as a guide.

It operates while the door is closed and the turntable is rotating. The turntable’s rotation makes the food brown more evenly. Preheating the grill for 3-5 minutes will make the food brown more quickly. Preheat the grill with the grill-function for 2-3 minutes. Use the power levels and times in this table as guide lines for grilling. Use oven gloves when taking out. Food suitable for grilling: Chops, sausages, steaks, hamburgers, bacon and gammon rashers, thin fish portions, sandwiches and all kinds of toast with toppings. Important remark: Whenever the grill only mode is used, please remember that food must be placed on the high rack, unless another instruction is recommended. MICROWAVE + GRILL This cooking mode combines the radiant heat that is coming from the grill with the speed of microwave cooking. It operates only while the door is closed and the turntable is rotating. Due to the rotation of the turntable, the food browns evenly. Three combination modes are available with this model: 600 W + Grill, 450 W + Grill and 300 W + Grill. Cookware for cooking with microwave + grill Please use cookware that microwaves can pass through. Cookware should be flameproof. Do not use metal cookware with combination mode. Do not use any type of plastic cookware, as it can melt. Food suitable for microwave + grill cooking: Food suitable for combination mode cooking include all kinds of cooked food which need reheating and browning (e.g. baked pasta), as well as foods which require a short cooking time to brown the top of the food. Also, this mode can be used for thick food portions that benefit from a browned and crispy top (e.g. chicken pieces, turning them over half way through cooking). Please refer to the grill table for further details. Important remark: Whenever the combination mode (microwave + grill) is used, the food should be placed on the high rack, unless another instruction is recommended. Please refer to the instructions in the following chart. The food must be turned over, if it is to be browned on both sides.

Cooking with convection is the traditional and well known method of cooking food in a traditional oven with hot air. The heating element and the fan position is at the back-wall, so that the hot air is circulating. This mode is supported by the top heating element. Cookware for convection cooking: All conventional ovenproof cookware, baking tins and sheets – anything you would normally use in a traditional convection oven – can be used. Food suitable for convection cooking: All biscuits, individual scones, rolls and cakes should be made by this mode as well as rich fruit cakes, choux pastry and soufflés. MICROWAVE + CONVECTION This mode combines the microwave energy with the hot air and is therefore reducing the cooking time while giving the food a brown and crispy surface. Cooking with convection is the traditional and well known method of cooking food in an oven with hot air circulated by a fan on the back-wall. Cookware for cooking with microwaves + convection: Should be able to let the microwaves pass through. Should be ovenproof (like glass, pottery or china without metal trims); similar to the cookware described under Microwave + Grill. Food suitable for Microwave + Convection cooking: All kinds of meats and poultry as well as casseroles and gratin dishes, sponge cakes and light fruit cakes, pies and crumbles, roast vegetables, scones and breads.
