Heating food
:
Risk of scalding!
There is a possibility of delayed boiling when a liquid is heated.
This means that the liquid reaches boiling temperature without
the usual steam bubbles rising to the surface. Even if the
container only moves a little, the hot liquid can suddenly boil
over and spatter. When heating liquids, always place a spoon in
the container. This will prevent delayed boiling.

Cooking food
Notes
Food which lies flat will cook more quickly than food which is
■
piled high. You should therefore distribute the food so that it
is as flat as possible in the ovenware. Different foodstuffs
should not be placed in layers on top of one another.
Cook the food in ovenware with a lid. If you do not have a
■
suitable lid for your ovenware, use a plate or special
microwave foil.
This will help the food retain its own distinct taste, so it will
■
require less seasoning.
After cooking, allow the food to stand for a further 2 to
■
5 minutes so that it can achieve an even temperature.

Notes
Take ready meals out of the packaging. They will heat up
■
more quickly and evenly in microwaveable ovenware. The
different components of the meal may not require the same
amount of time to heat up .
Always cover the food. If you do not have a suitable cover for
■
your container, use a plate or special microwave foil.
Stir or turn the food several times during the heating time.
■
Check the temperature.
After heating, allow the food to stand for a further 2 to
■
5 minutes so that it can achieve an even temperature.
Always use an oven cloth or oven gloves when removing
■
plates from the oven.
