Before placing any cooking utensils for heating on the gourmet stove, it is advisable to clean and wipe the bottom to prevent stains on the heating plate. If stains or food are accidentally left on the heating plate during cooking, wipe them off immediately.
Cooking instructions: Heat according to the properties of the food.
Initial temperature of food. The higher the temperature of the food, the shorter the cooking time; heating time in summer is shorter than in winter.
Adjustment of food amount. The amount of food is directly proportional to the heating time. The more food, the longer the heating time.
Density and water content of food.
Container selection and food arrangement.
Generally speaking, shallow, rounded and straight-sided containers should be used to hold food because they heat quickly and evenly. Since microwaves heat food around the periphery faster, the thicker parts should be placed outwards. The thin parts are arranged in the middle of the container and placed radially on the plate, so that the thick parts that are not easy to cook absorb more microwave energy.
Repair tips and common sense on maintenance and replacement of microwave mica chips.
In daily use of the microwave oven, you should pay attention to cleaning the mica sheets frequently and keep them clean and dry. The mica sheets cannot be cleaned due to serious contamination or have black spots that have been penetrated. Those with strong hands-on ability must use them in time. The operator can operate it by himself to ensure that the key component of the microwave oven, the "magnetron", is not damaged.
The steps to replace the mica sheet are as follows.
1. Prepare new mica sheets. You can buy them for microwave ovens on a certain business platform at a very low price.
2. Disassemble the old mica pieces.
How to remove mica sheets with different fixing methods: The removal of the card slot is the simplest. No tools are needed. Just carefully push it from bottom to top, and use a little force to bend the mica sheet at the protruding part of the inner cavity. Then, continue to push up to remove it; if it is locked by a plastic plug, use a screwdriver to pry out the plug and you can easily remove it.
3. Use paper towels or rags to clean the microwave emission window.
4. Use scissors to cut a new mica piece that has been prepared compared with the old mica piece (because the new mica pieces purchased are larger).
5. Install the new mica pieces in the reverse order of disassembly. If it is fixed with plug pins, just align it with the hole in the microwave emission window and press it in firmly.
Tip: The texture of mica flakes is relatively brittle and can easily break if bent too much.
If the mica sheet burns through and ignites after the microwave is powered on, this is often a fault in the magnetron and needs to be repaired by a professional.
