TI Creda microwave cookbook [antikvár]

'^'.h, .'1s'' "I'I. uv-'n''^.^FOREWORDWelcome to the wonderful world of microwave cooking - with TI Creda. Our aim in writing this book was to produce something more than just an ordinary Instruction and Recipe Manual. We would like to take you step by step through the basics and principles of this modern way of cooking, reheating and defrosting food - by microwave energy. First however, let us consider a few important points.A microwave cooker is faster and generally easier to use than a conventional cooker, but it still needs a cook to operate and control it. The cooking of food, by any method, is an art, requiring skill, talent, patience and creativity. Give any two people the same recipe and cooking appliance to use - and invariably the end results will differ, mainly because of the variety and quality of ingredients used along with personal style, judgment, skill and taste. In other words, your Microwave cooker like any other cooker or cooking appliance will be used to suit you, your family and your life style.Just as you experimented with your conventional cooker, learning its advantages and limitations, so you will do the same with your microwave cooker. As with everything, whether learning to drive a car, play golf or master photography, patience and perseverence are the essential ingredients of success.Like all appliances, the microwave cooker has its limitations. This is a moist form of cooking, so while you may use it to heat rolls for breakfast in seconds, you will still use your toaster or conventional cooker grill to make toast. Similarly you may use your microwave cooker to cook meat, fish, poultry and vegetables but you will continue to use your conventional oven to roast potatoes and cook foods such as Yorkshire pudding, soufflés, meringues, many pastry dishes and any other foods which require dry heat to crispen them, as well as retain their shape and texture. You will use your conventional cooker hob - or separate specially designed portable appliances -to boil eggs in their shells and for all deep fat frying.Used in conjuction with your conventional cooker, and freezer, your microwave cooker will provide a wide range of delicious dishes for you, your family and friends - quickly.Everyone can be a happy microwave cook, so welcome to this wonderful world of microwave cooking -and enjoy it.UOe^MARGARET WEALE,HOME ECONOMIST, TI CREDA,BLYTHE BRIDGE, STOKE-ON-TRENT STl 1 9LJ.
