not burst.

longer cooking time.

stirred from time to time.
• Turn larger pieces of food after half
the cooking time.
• If possible, cut vegetables into similar-
sized pieces.
• Use flat, wide dishes.
• Do not use cookware made of
porcelain, ceramic or earthenware

e.g. on handles . Moisture going into
the holes can cause the cookware to
crack when it is heated.
Defrosting meat, poultry, fish:
• Put the frozen, unwrapped food on a
small upturned plate with a container
below it, or on a defrosting rack or
plastic sieve so that the defrosting

time. If possible, divide and then
remove the pieces that have started
to defrost.
Defrosting butter, portions of gateau,
quark:
• Do not fully defrost in the appliance,
but let them defrost completely at a
room temperature. This gives a more
even result. Remove all metal or
aluminium packaging or parts before
defrosting.
