• Turn larger pieces about halfway
through the cooking time.
• If possible, cut vegetables into similar
sized pieces.
• Use flat, wide dishes.
Defrosting meat, poultry, fish
• Place the frozen, unwrapped food on
a small upturned plate with a contain-
er underneath or on a defrosting rack
or plastic sieve so that the defrosting
liquid can run off.
• Turn the food after half the defrosting
time. If possible, divide, remove
pieces that have started to defrost.
Defrosting butter, portions of ga-
teau, quark
• Do not defrost completely in the ap-
pliance, but leave to defrost at room
temperature. This gives a more even
result. Remove any metal or alumini-
um packaging or parts before defrost-
ing completely.
Defrosting fruit, vegetables
• Do not completely defrost fruit and
vegetables, which are to be further
prepared while still raw, in the appli-
ance, but at room temperature.
• Fruit and vegetables that are to be
cooked, can be cooked directly using
a higher microwave power, without
being defrosted.
Ready Meals
• Ready meals in metal packaging or
plastic trays with metal covers may
only be defrosted or heated in the mi-
crowave if these are expressively des-
ignated as suitable for use in the
microwave.
• You must follow the manufacturer’s
instructions printed on the packaging
(e. g. remove metal cover and pierce
plastic film).
