Uses, Tables and Tips

Microwave
Information about operation
General
• After switching off the appliance, let
the food stand for a few minutes (see
Microwave Tables: Standing Time).
• Remove aluminium foil packaging,
metal containers, etc. before prepar-
ing the food.
Cooking
– If possible, cook food covered with
material suitable for use in the mi-
crowave. Only cook food uncov-
ered, if a crust is to be kept.
– Chilled or frozen foods require a
longer cooking time.
– Dishes containing sauce should be
stirred from time to time.
– Vegetables that have a firm struc-
ture, such as carrots, peas or cau-
liflower, should be cooked in water.
– Turn larger pieces about halfway
through the cooking time.
– If possible, cut vegetables into
similar sized pieces.
– Use flat, wide dishes.
Defrosting meat, poultry, fish
– Place the frozen, unwrapped food
on a small upturned plate with a
container underneath or on a de-
frosting rack or plastic sieve so
that the defrosting liquid can run
off.
– Turn the food after half the defrost-
ing time. If possible, divide, re-
move pieces that have started to
defrost.

Defrosting butter, portions of ga-
teau, quark
– Do not defrost completely in the
appliance, but leave to defrost at
room temperature. This gives a
more even result. Remove any
metal or aluminium packaging or
parts before defrosting completely.
Defrosting fruit, vegetables
– Do not completely defrost fruit and
vegetables, which are to be further
prepared while still raw, in the ap-
pliance, but at room temperature.
– Fruit and vegetables that are to be
cooked, can be cooked directly
using a higher microwave power,
without being defrosted.
Ready Meals
– Ready meals in metal packaging or
plastic trays with metal covers may
only be defrosted or heated in the
microwave if these are expressive-
ly designated as suitable for use in
the microwave.
– You must follow the manufactur-
er's instructions printed on the
packaging (e. g. remove metal
cover and pierce plastic film).
