˜ Basic principles of microwave
cookery
Cooking time: Pay attention to the cooking
time . Select the shortest possible stated cooking
time and increase as required . Food that is
cooked too long can begin to smoke or catch
fire .
Food: Arrange the pieces of food evenly
in the product . Cut the food into pieces of
approximately the same size . Place the thickest
pieces near the edges .
Covering food: Cover the food during
cooking with a lid suitable for microwave
cookery . The lid prevents splashing and helps in
the even cooking of the food .
Turning food: While cooking, turn the
food in the product once so that items such
as chicken or hamburgers are cooked more
quickly . Large pieces of food, such as joints of
meat, must be turned at least once .
Completely rearrange small food items, such as
meatballs, after half the cooking time . Turn the
meatballs and move them from the middle of
the plate to the edge .
Food with skins: Puncture the skins of
potatoes, sausages and similar food before
cooking . Otherwise, they could explode .
Food with thick skins: Prick whole
pumpkins, apples, chestnuts and similar food
before cooking .
Fat or oil: Do not thaw frozen fat or oil in the
product . Do not fry foods in the product . The fat
or oil could ignite .
Beverages: When heating drinks with the
product, bubbling may be delayed when
the drink boils . Be careful when handling the
container . To avoid sudden bubbling up:
If possible, place a suitable glass rod in the fluid
for as long as it is being heated .
To avoid an unexpected bubbling up, leave the
liquid to stand in the cooking chamber 14 for
about 20 seconds after heating .
Popcorn: Only microwaveable popcorn shall
be used .
˜ Using suitable cookware
The ideal material for use in a microwave oven
is microwave-permeable, allowing the energy
to penetrate the container to heat the food .
Microwaves cannot penetrate metal . For this
reason, metal containers and cookware should
not be used .
When using the product for heating, do not use
products made of recycled paper . These can
contain minute fragments of metal, which can
generate sparks and/or fires .
We recommend the use of round/oval
cookware instead of square or oblong
containers, as food in corner areas tends to
overcook . The following list provides general
hints to assist you in selecting the correct
cookware .
