ASK JEAN

A question from Mirolene Fry who bought a Defy DMO 351.  "I have the owners manual that came with the oven, but am having difficulty understanding a lot of its contents.  Please can you help me?

Yes Mirolene I can and I also understand the frustration that many microwave oven owners have, understanding the manuals.  Why can't these manuals be more "user friendly."

Your DMO 351 is a 900 watt power output that means your range is between 800 watt and 1000 watt, always start by using less time and adding until you have the correct time for that specific recipe.

Looking at the control panel I can see an auto cook selection of Baked Potato, Pizza, Popcorn etc.  Unfortunately your selection is limited and may not suit your own family needs.  Personally I don't find this feature very useful unless you are a popcorn, pizza, frozen dinner fan!

However, there is a handy feature called a two-stage cooking.  Look on page 8.  Whenever a recipe requires starting at one power level e.g. 100% and then lowering to e.g. 70% or 50% you can programme this at the beginning.  This works very well for stews.

Basically the DMO 351 is a microwave oven which will microwave most recipes with ease needing only time adjustments.

I am going to post a recipe for two-stage cooking let me know how you managed.

Happy microwaving!
