Be careful not to be deceived by the meat's outward appearance (during and at the end of the cooking), because it may not have the brownish colour common to meats prepared in a regular oven. In return, however, the nutritional values and flavour of meat are retained to an exceptional degree. MEATS POULTRY You can defrost and then cook all types of poultry in a microwave oven. Poultry skin may not roast to the colour usually associated with other ovens: to obtain a golden brown tone, baste the skin with a brush dipped in melted butter or margarine. In a microwave oven, fish can be prepared very quickly and with excellent results. You can season it with a little oil or butter (or not season it at all, if you so prefer). The skin is to be slit, of course, and filleted fish must be placed in a uniform fashion. We recommend that you not use this oven to cook fish which has been dipped in egg batter. FISH Cooking times for meat, poultry and fish If you wish to make meat more tender, we recommend that you add 1/2 of a cup of water at the start of the cooking process.

B: The cooking times on this table are approximate and depend on the weight, the temperature before cooking, and the sturdiness as well as the constitution of the greens and vegetables. 34 SOUPS AND RICE · Soups or broth usually require a smaller amount of liquid because the evaporation in microwave ovens is rather limited. Because it is a dehydrating agent, salt must be added only when the cooking is finished or during the standing time. [. . . ] Do not use alcohol, abrasive or ammoniabased cleaning products to clean the surfaces of the doors. Always keep the inside of the door clean to ensure that it closes properly. Make sure that dirt and food residues do not build up between the door and the front panel of the oven. Never steam clean the inside of the oven. [. . . ]
