COOKING GUIDE
(CONTINUED)
COOKING FOOD
• 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 ovenware.
Different foodstuffs should not be placed in layers on
top of one another.
• Place the food directly on the turntable.
• Cook the food in ovenware with a lid. If you do not
have a suitable lid for your ovenware, use a plate or
special microwave foil.

POPCORN FOR THE MICROWAVE
• Use heat-resistant, flat glass ovenware , e.g. the lid of
an ovenproof dish, a glass plate or a glass tray (Pyrex)
• Always place the ovenware on the supplier wire rack.
• Do not use porcelain or overly curved plates.
• Make the settings as described in the table. You can
adjust the timings according to product and amount.
• So that the popcorn doesn't burn, briefly take the
popcorn bag out of the oven after 1 minute and 30
seconds and shake it. Take care as the bag will
be hot!

• This will help the food retain its own distinct taste, so
it will require less seasoning.
• After cooking, allow the food to stand for a further
2 to 5 minutes so that it can achieve an even
temperature.
• Always use an oven cloth or oven gloves when
removing plates from the oven.

MICROWAVE TIPS
If you cannot find any information about the settings
for the quantity of food you have prepared.
If the food has become too dry.
When the time has elapsed, the food is not
defrosted, hot or cooked.
When the time has elapsed, the food is overheated
at the edge but not done in the middle.
After defrosting , the poultry or meat is defrosted on
the outside but not defrosted in the middle.
CAKES AND PASTRIES
About the tables
• The times given apply to food placed in a cold oven.
• The temperature and baking time depend on the
consistency and amount of the mixture. This is
why temperature ranges are given in the tables.
Begin with the lower temperature and, if necessary,
use a higher setting the next time, since a lower
temperature results in more even browning.

* Allow cake to cool in the oven for approx. 20 minutes
Increase or reduce the cooking times using the following rule of
thumb:
Double the amount = almost double the cooking time
Half the amount = half the cooking time
Next time, set a shorter cooking time or select a lower microwave
power setting. 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 power setting. If you are
defrosting a large quantity, turn it several times.
• Additional information can be found in the Baking tips
section following the tables.
• Always place the cake tin in the centre of the
lower wire rack. But the food with ** should be
placed in the turntable.
