Author’s Note I have been using a microwave oven for 25 years, mainly to heat up leftovers, tea and coffee and defrosting meat, poultry, seafood and bread. It was only when I was asked by Samsung to come up with a collection of my favourite recipes and some diehard “sure shots” that I realized the versatility and extraordinary potential of the new Samsung Microwave. Of course the model I am now using also has convection cooking, grilling and two unique programmes which combine convection and mic

Your new Samsung Microwave Oven is going to make life for you easier as well as more exciting. To start with, it simplifies the basic steps in your cooking agenda. Contrary to popular belief, your Samsung Microwave Oven does not just reheat food — it also boils, bakes, thaws, skewers, and makes everyday Indian coo

How do microwaves work? Microwaves are short-length, high-frequency, electromagnetic waves which are similar to TV and radio waves. In a microwave oven, a vacuum tube called “Magnetron” generates microwaves that penetrates the food and agitates the moisture molecules present in the food. This high- speed agitation of water molecules release heat that spreads to other parts of the food, cooking it evenly. Therefore, you get healthy, oil-free food and that too at almost one-third of the cooking ti

Accessories Pro-steamer Samsung’s unique cookware enables healthy and low-fat cooking by using steam. Steam cooking in the microwave oven (MWO) usually makes the surface of food dry. To solve this weak-point, Samsung came up with the Pro-steamer. The Pro-steamer consists of two parts — a bottom plate and a stainless steel lid. When water is poured in the bottom plate — and the MWO is switched on — the microwave rays penetrate the plate and generate steam. At the same time, the stainless steel l

Multi-spit Samsung’s Multi-spit allows you to enjoy barbecuing without the hassle of cleaning the inside of the MWO. The Multi-spit is Samsung’s unique accessory for barbecuing — far more useful and convenient than other similar accessories. It can provide all kinds of skewer-styled cooking, not only Western-style food like Roast Chicken but also Indian food like tikkas. The spit sits on the glass plate, so that the fat drips down on to the glass plate, and not the oven cavity. In addition, it i

Cooking Guide Microwaves The MWO is a new cooking appliance, and since quite a few people are not aware of its mechanism, given below is a short note on how it works. Microwave energy actually penetrates food, heating water, fat, and sugar molecules in food. The microwave rays cause the molecules in the food to move rapidly. The rapid movement of these molecules creates frictional heat, which cook the food efficiently. Moreover, vis-à-vis traditional cooking appliances, the MWO is more advantag

Power levels and stirring You can adjust the power level from 900W to 300W, according to the kind of food that you want to reheat. 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 MWO during standing time.

Defrosting Microwaves are an excellent way of defrosting frozen food. Microwaves gently defrost frozen food in a short period of time. This can be of great advantage, especially when guests show up unexpectedly. Frozen poultry must be thoroughly defrosted before cooking. Remove any metal ties and take it out of any wrapping to allow thawed liquid to drain away. In general, it is better to defrost food using a lower power level, in order to defrost the cooking item evenly. Put the frozen food on
