Tested for you in our cooking studio.
Here you will find a selection of recipes and the ideal settings
for them. We show you which microwave power setting is best
for your dish and there are tips about cookware and
preparation.
Notes
■
The values in the table always apply to food placed into the
cooking compartment when it is cold and empty. Only
preheat the appliance if the table specifies that you should do
so. Before using the appliance, remove all accessories from
the cooking compartment that you will not be using.
■
The times specified in the tables are only guidelines. They
depend on the quality and consistency of the food.
■
Use the accessories supplied. Additional accessories may be
obtained from specialist retailers or from the after-sales
service.
■
Always use an oven cloth or oven gloves when taking
accessories or cookware out of the cooking compartment.
Defrosting, heating up and cooking with the
microwave
The following tables provide you with numerous options and
settings for the microwave.
The times specified in the tables are only guidelines. They may
vary according to the ovenware used, the quality, temperature
and consistency of the food.
Time ranges are often specified in the tables. Set the shortest
time first and then extend the time if necessary.
It may be that you have different quantities from those specified
in the tables. A rule of thumb can be applied:
Double the amount - almost twice the cooking time,
Half the amount - half the cooking time.
Stir or turn the food several times during the heating time.
Check the temperature.
Defrosting
Notes
■
Place the frozen food in an open container on the wire rack.
■
Delicate parts such as the legs and wings of chicken or fatty
outer layers of roasts can be covered with small pieces of
aluminium foil. The foil must not touch the cooking
compartment walls. You can remove the foil half way through
the defrosting time.
■
Turn or stir the food once or twice during the defrosting time.
Large pieces of food should be turned several times. When
turning, remove any liquid that has resulted from defrosting.
■
Leave defrosted items to stand at room temperature for a
further 10 to 60 minutes so that the temperature can
stabilise. The giblets can be removed from poultry at this
point.
