Remove frozen food from its wrapping and do not
forget to take off any metal twist-tags. For
containers that are used to keep frozen food in
the freezer and which can also be used for
heating and cooking, all you need to do is take off
the lid. For all other cases you should put the
food into containers that are suitable for
microwave use.
Place poultry on an upturned plate so that the
meat juices can run off more easily.
The liquid resulting from defrosting, principally
that from poultry, should be discarded. In no
event should such liquids be allowed to come into
contact with other foods.
Do not forget that by using the defrosting function
you need to allow for standing time until the food
is completely defrosted.
COOKING WITH MICROWAVE OVEN
Follow these recommendations when cooking
with your microwave: before heating or cooking
foods with peel or skin (e.g. apples, tomatoes,
potatoes, sausages) prick them so that they do
not burst. Cut the food up before starting to
prepare it.
Before using a container or dish make sure that it
is suitable for microwave use.
When cooking food with very little moisture (e.g.
defrosting
bread,
making
popcorn,
etc.)
evaporation is very quick. The oven then works
as if it was empty and the food may burn. The
oven and the container may be damaged in such
a situation. You should therefore set just the
cooking time necessary and you must keep a
close eye on the cooking process.
It is not possible to heat large quantities of oil
(frying) in the microwave.
