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
cookware. Food should not be placed in layers on
top of one another.
Cook the food in cookware with a lid. If you do not
■
have a suitable lid for your cookware, use a plate or
special microwave foil.
Dish
Whole chicken, fresh, no giblets
Fish fillet, fresh
Fresh vegetables
Potatoes
Rice
Sweet foods, e.g. blancmange (instant)

Lengthen or shorten the cooking time according to the following rule of
thumb: Double the amount = double the time, half the amount = half the time
Next time, set a shorter cooking time or select a lower microwave power set-
ting. 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 microwave power
setting and a longer cooking time.
Next time, select a lower microwave output setting. Turn large amounts of
poultry or meat several times.
