COOKING TIPS
Heating and cooking
• The microwave oven always heats with the same intensity. The more you put in the
microwave oven, the longer the cooking time.
• Wide, flat dishes become hot more quickly than narrow, tall dishes.
• Covering dishes with cling film or a suitable lid prevents spattering, shortens cooking
time and helps maintaining humidity of the dish.
Caution!
• Remove the cling film or lid carefully afterwards. The steam that comes off can be
very hot!
• If necessary, moisten foods that quickly dehydrate. First soak potatoes and
vegetables in cold water for a moment before placing them in the microwave oven.
This prevents a skin forming on them.
• For uniform results, it is best to stir or turn meals once or twice.
• When reheating foods that have already been cooked before, always select the
highest microwave power level.
• When cooking in a microwave oven, only small quantities of water, salt and
seasoning are necessary. Best add salt after cooking. This prevents moisture being
drawn out of the food.
• Food continues to cook for some time after the microwave oven has been switched
off. Keep this in mind, don't overcook your meals.
Caution!
• When heating small quantities of powdery products (such as when drying herbs),
always place a glass of water in the microwave. Ot herwise, due to the small
quantity, there is a chance of spontaneous combustion.
Defrosting
• Always defrost large, dense pieces using the defrosting programme. The food will
defrost gradually and evenly, you will not run the risk of the outside drying while the
centre is still frozen.
• To speed up the defrosting process, it is recommended that after a while the food be
divided up into smaller pieces.
• For large pieces of meat and dense food, introduce a couple of breaks into the
defrosting process.
• When defrosting irregularly shaped food, halfway through the defrosting time you can
cover or wrap the thin parts with aluminium foil.
• Preferably use the oven grid when preparing meals. Never place cold (frozen) meals
directly on the glass tray. The difference in temperature may cause it to crack!
