Microwave automatic functions
As well as manual operation, when the power level must be
selected (e.g. 1000 watts), if applicable, the method of operation
(e.g. "Grill") and a cooking time, the microwave has various
automatic functions, which dispense with the need to select the
power level, temperature and time. All you need do is choose a
programme, indicate the weight and press the start button. The
cooking time will be calculated according to the weight indicated.
Cooking
The "Vegetables" and "Fish" settings enable automatic cooking.
The use of microwaveable glass, lidded dishes is recommended
such as Jenaer, Schott and Pyrex®. Select the size of the dish
according to the quantity of food to be cooked. To achieve the
best results, it is essential to keep to the maximum and minimum
quantities indicated. No cooking liquid is required for vegetables
that are low in fibre. High-fibre vegetables such as cabbage,
asparagus, salsify and fennel, need 2 tbsp water for every 100 g
vegetables. Jacket potatoes must be pricked with a fork and can
be simply cooked while moist. However, 1 tbsp water for every
100 g potato is needed for boiled potatoes. The potatoes should
be roughly the same size.
Automatic weight defrosting
To obtain the best defrosting results, the food should be smoothly
wrapped, horizontally if possible, frozen and kept at a minimum
temperature of -18°C. Remove packaging from the food before
defrosting. When defrosting, liquid from meat, fish and poultry
must drain freely. For this reason, a defrost tray (if supplied) or
an upturned plate is placed on the turntable, and the food placed
on top.
You will also find detailed instructions on defrosting on pages 46-
48. With automatic weight defrosting, reckon on a period of
around 15-60 minutes (depending on the quantity, type and
composition of the food) before the food is ready to use. After
defrosting, separate the small pieces of meat when using minced
meat, and break up any remaining ice crystals.
You can use automatic weight defrost for the following foods:
- cuts of meat such as steaks, cutlets, goulash, kebabs
- minced meat, offal, joints
- poultry, game, fish.
TIP: Food which is not suitable for automatic weight defrosting
can nonetheless be defrosted with the Panasonic combination
microwave oven. The charts on pages 46-48 therefore give the
necessary defrost power levels and times which must be selected
manually.
