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.
Always use an oven cloth or oven gloves when removing
■
plates from the oven.

Microwave tips

You cannot find any information about the settings for the
quantity of food you have prepared.
The food has become too dry.
When the time has elapsed, the food is not defrosted, hot or
cooked.
When the time has elapsed, the food is overheated at the
edge but not done in the middle.
After defrosting, the poultry or meat is defrosted on the out-
side but not defrosted in the middle.
Condensation
Condensation may appear on the door window, interior walls
and floor. This is normal. This does not affect how the
microwave operates. Wipe away the condensation after
cooking.

thumb:
Double the amount = almost double the cooking time
Half the amount = half the cooking time
Next time, set a shorter cooking time or select a lower microwave
power setting. Cover the food and add more liquid.
Set a longer time. Large quantities and food which is piled high
require longer times.
Stir it during the cooking time and next time, select a lower micro-
wave power setting and a longer cooking time.
Next time, select a lower microwave power setting. If you are
