Moisture going into the holes can cause
the cookware to crack when it is heated.
Defrosting meat, poultry, fish:
• Put the frozen, unwrapped food on a
small upturned plate with a container
below it, 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 and then remove
the pieces that have started to defrost.
Defrosting butter, portions of gateau,
quark:
• Do not fully defrost in the appliance, but
let them defrost completely at a room
temperature. This gives a more even
result. Remove all metal or aluminium
packaging or parts before defrosting.
Defrosting fruit, vegetables:
• If fruit and vegetables should remain
raw, do not defrost them fully in the
appliance but let them defrost
completely at a room temperature.
• To cook fruit and vegetables without
defrosting them first, you can use a
higher microwave power.
Ready meals:
• Ready meals in metal packaging or
plastic trays with metal covers can only
be defrosted or heated in the microwave
if they are expressively designated as
suitable for use in the microwave.
• You must follow the manufacturer's
instructions printed on the packaging
(e.g. remove the metal cover and pierce
the plastic film).
