Defrosting, heating up or cooking frozen food

Notes
Take ready meals out of the packaging. They will heat up more
■
quickly and evenly in microwaveable ovenware. The different
components of the meal may not require the same amount of
time to heat up .
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.

Always cover the food. If you do not have a suitable cover for
■
your ovenware, use a plate or special microwave foil.
Stir or turn the food 2 or 3 times during cooking.
■
After heating, 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.
This will help the food retain its own distinct taste, so it will
■
require less seasoning.

This means that the liquid reaches boiling temperature without the
usual steam bubbles rising to the surface. Even if the container
only moves a little, the hot liquid can suddenly boil over and
