Microwave popcorn
Notes
■ Use heat-resistant, shallow glass cookware, e.g. the
lid of an ovenproof dish, a glass plate or a glass dish
(Pyrex)
■ Always place cookware on the wire rack.
■ Do not use porcelain or deep dishes.
■ Use the settings indicated in the table. The time may
need to be adjusted, depending on the product and
quantity in question.
■ To prevent the popcorn from burning, briefly take the
popcorn bag out of the oven after 1 minute
30 seconds and shake it. Take care as the bag will
be hot!
:Warning – Risk of scalding!
■ Open the popcorn bag carefully as hot steam may
be released.
■ Never set the microwave to full power.

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.
■ Additional information can be found in the Baking tips
section following the tables.
■ Always place the cake tin in the centre of the lower
wire rack.

You cannot find any information about the settings for the quantity of
food you have prepared.
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
The food has become too dry. Next time, set a shorter cooking time or select a lower microwave power set-
ting. Cover the food and add more liquid.
When the time has elapsed, the food is not defrosted, hot or cooked. Set a longer time. Large quantities and food which is piled high require
longer times.
When the time has elapsed, the food is overheated at the edge but not
done in the middle.
Stir it during the cooking time and next time, select a lower microwave power
setting and a longer cooking time.
After defrosting, the poultry or meat is defrosted on the outside but not
defrosted in the middle.
Next time, select a lower microwave power setting. If you are defrosting a
large quantity, turn it several times.

You want to bake according to your own recipe. Use similar items in the baking tables as a guide.
Use baking tins made of silicone, glass, plastic or
ceramic materials.
The baking tin must be heat-resistant up to 250 °C. Cakes in these baking tins will be less brown.
When using the microwave, the cooking time will be shorter than the time shown in the table.
How to establish whether sponge cake is baked
through.
Approximately 10 minutes before the end of the baking time specified in the recipe, poke the cake
with a cocktail stick at its highest point. If the cocktail stick comes out clean, the cake is ready.
The cake collapses. Use less liquid next time or set the oven temperature 10 degrees lower and extend the baking
time. Observe the specified mixing times in the recipe.
The cake has risen in the middle but is lower
around the edge.
Only grease the base of the springform cake tin. After baking, loosen the cake carefully with a
knife.
The cake is too dark. Select a lower temperature and bake the cake for a little longer.
The cake is too dry. When it is done, make small holes in the cake using a toothpick. Then drizzle fruit juice or an alco-
holic beverage over it. Next time, select a temperature 10 degrees higher and reduce the baking
time.
The bread or cake (e.g. cheesecake) looks good,
but is soggy on the inside (sticky, streaked with
water).
Use slightly less fluid next time and bake for slightly longer at a lower temperature. When baking
cakes with a moist topping, bake the base first, cover with almonds or bread crumbs and then add
the topping. Please follow the recipe and follow the baking times.
The cake cannot be turned out of the dish when it
is turned upside down.
After baking, allow the cake to cool for a further 5to 10 minutes, then it will be easier to turn out of
the tin. If it still sticks, carefully loosen the cake around the edges using a knife. Turn the cake tin
upside down again and cover it several times with a cold, wet cloth. Next time, grease the tin well
and sprinkle some bread crumbs into it.
