You cannot find any information about the settings for the
quantity of food you have prepared.
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 out-
side but not defrosted in the middle.

Cakes and pastries

About the tables
Notes
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.

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!
:
Risk of scalding!
Open the popcorn bag carefully as hot steam may be
■
released.
Never set the microwave to full power.

Accessories
Ovenware, wire rack
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 micro-
wave 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 wire rack.
