ADVISORY NOTE FOR USERS OF A
MICROWAVE OVEN
Microwave Ovens were originally introduced
to re-heat pre-cooked pies etc. Over the
years people started using them for re-
heating ready made meals and now for they
are used for cooking small amounts of food.
Most small microwaves, and some large
microwaves, cease to cook the food when
the microwave starts to overheat. This often
occurs when batches of food are cooked
consecutively.
Overheating is caused by a number of
factors: -
-
The heat generated within the Microwave.
-
The Heat generated by an adjacent Oven,
Hob of Fridge/Freezer, Radiator etc.
-
The Heat generated in the environment
due to the heating system and/or lack of
ventilation etc.
-
The mounting of the microwave in a
housing.
It has been proven in independent tests that
even when placed on a worktop in an open
household kitchen environment a microwave
will switch off, or the Magnetron will reduce
its output, when the microwave starts to
overheat.
This fact is exacerbated in a Caravan or
Motorhome as space is at a premium. The
microwave has to be placed in a cabinet to
maximize the space available for all the
family activities that take place in the
modern Caravan and Motorhome. The
housing also secures the microwave whilst
travelling.
Frequently the above results in the
Microwave being mounted above an Oven/
Hob or a Fridge/Freezer.
When the Sharp Microwave starts to
overheat, the magnetron automatically
reduces its output but the Microwave still
looks the same. The Light will stay on, the
turntable will continue to rotate, the cooling
fan will still operate and the timer will
continue.
The above means that times quoted in
recipes should be used for guidance only.
It is essential, when cooking with any
microwave, that the food is examined to
ensure that it is fully cooked before eating.
