8.2 Inserting the grill rack

9. HELPFUL HINTS AND TIPS

9.1 Tips for the microwave
Problem
You cannot find details for the
amount of food prepared.
The food got too dry.
The food is not defrosted, hot or
cooked after the time came to an
end.
After the cooking time comes to
an end, the food is overheated at
the edge but is still not ready in the
middle.
To get better results for rice use a flat,
wide dish.
9.2 Defrosting
Always defrost roast with the fat side
down.
Do not defrost covered meat because this
may cause cooking instead of defrosting.
Always defrost whole poultry breast side
down.
9.3 Cooking
Always remove chilled meat and poultry
from the refrigerator at least 30 minutes
before cooking.
Place the grill rack on the turntable set.
Remedy
Look for a similar food. Increase or shorten
the length of the cooking times according to
the following rule: Double the amount = al-
most double the time, Half the amount =
half the time
Set shorter cooking time or select lower mi-
crowave power.
Set longer cooking time or set higher power.
Note that large dishes need longer time.
Next time set a lower power and a longer
time. Stir liquids halfway through, e.g. soup.
Let the meat, poultry, fish and vegetables
stay covered after cooking.
Brush a little oil or melted butter over the
fish.
Add 30 - 45 ml of cold water for every
250 g of vegetables. Cut the fresh vegeta-
bles into even size pieces before cooking.
Cook all vegetables with a cover on the
container.
9.4 Reheating
When you reheat packed ready meals al-
ways follow the instruction written on the
packaging.
