Dish Tip
Baked items and biscuits ¡ Set the temperature for
hot air to max. 180°C.
¡ Brush baked items
and biscuits with egg
or egg yolk. This re-
duces the production
of acrylamide.
Oven chips ¡ Spread the chips out
evenly and in a single
layer on the baking
tray.
¡ Cook at least 400g at
once on a baking tray
so that the chips do
not dry out.
16.3 Defrosting, heating and cooking
with the microwave
Recommended settings for defrosting, heating and
cooking with the microwave.
The cooking time depends on the cookware, as well as
on the temperature, composition and quantity of the
food. This is why ranges are given in the tables. Begin
with the lower value and, if necessary, use a higher set-
ting the next time. It may be that you have different
quantities from those specified in the tables. There is a
rule of thumb for this: Double the amount = almost
double the time, half the amount = half the time.
Tips on defrosting, heating and cooking with the
microwave
Follow these tips for good results when defrosting,
heating and cooking with the microwave.
Issue Tip
You want to prepare a dif-
ferent amount than that in-
dicated in the table.
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

Note:
Cooking tips
¡ Use microwave-safe cookware without a lid.
¡ Turn or stir the food 2–3times during this time. When turning, remove any liquid that escapes during defrosting.
¡ After defrosting, leave the food to rest for 10–60ºminutes.
¡ 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 halfway
through the defrosting time.
¡ Place the frozen food in an open container on the wire rack.
¡ Place the cookware in the centre of the lower wire rack so that the microwaves can reach the food from all sides.
