en How it works
26
¡ Distribute the food flat in the cookware. Food which lies flat cooks more quickly than food which is piled high.
¡ Turn or stir the food two or three times during the defrosting time.
¡ After defrosting, leave the food to rest for 2–5ºminutes.
¡ The food transfers heat to the cookware. The cookware can become very hot. Use oven gloves.
¡ The food will retain most of its natural flavor. Use salt and seasonings sparingly.
¡ Place the cookware in the centre of the lower wire rack so that the microwaves can reach the food from all sides.
