TIPS FOR THE MICROWAVE COOKING
Problem
You cannot find details on the amount of
food prepared.
The food got too dry.
The food is not defrosted, hot or cooked
when the time ends.
After the cooking time ends, the food is
overheated on the outside, but still not
ready inside.
Rice cooking results are poor.
DEFROSTING
Always defrost roast fat side down.
Do not defrost covered meat as it may cause
cooking instead of defrosting.
Always defrost whole poultry breast side down.
COOKING
Always remove chilled meat and poultry from the
refrigerator at least 30 minutes before cooking.
Let the meat, poultry, fish and vegetables stay
covered after cooking.
Brush a little oil or melted butter over the fish.
All vegetables should be cooked at the full
microwave power.
Add 30 - 45 ml of cold water for every 250 g of
vegetables.

Look for a similar type of food. Increase or shorten the
length of the cooking times according to the following
rule:
• Double the amount almost double the time.
• Half the amount is a half time.
Set a shorter cooking time or select a lower microwave
power.
Set a longer cooking time or a higher power. Note that
large dishes need a longer time.
Next time set a lower power and a longer time. Stir liq-
uids halfway through, e.g. soup.
To get better results for rice use a flat, wide dish.
Cut fresh vegetables into even sized pieces before
cooking. Cook all vegetables with a cover on the
container.
REHEATING
When you reheat packed ready meals always follow
the instruction written on the packaging.
GRILLING
Grill flat food items in the middle of the grill rack.
Turn the food over halfway through the set time and
continue grilling.
COMBI COOKING
Use Combi Cooking to keep the crispness of
certain foods.
