fork several times before cooking so that the
food does not burst.
• For chilled or frozen food, set a longer
cooking time.
• Dishes which contain sauce must be 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 with unglazed
bottoms or small holes, e.g. on handles .
Moisture going into the holes can cause the
cookware to crack when it is heated.

• 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

possible, divide and then remove the pieces
that have started to defrost.
