Turn or stir the food halfway through the defrosting and cooking time.
Cover the food for cooking and reheating.
Put the spoon to the bottle or glass when heating drinks to ensure better heat distribution.
Put the food into the oven without any packaging. The packaged ready meals can be put
into the oven only when the packaging is microwave safe (check information on the
packaging).
Microwave cooking
Cook food covered. If you want to keep a crust cook food without a cover.
Do not overcook the dishes by setting the power and time too high. The food can dry out,
burn or cause fire.
Do not use the oven to cook eggs or snails in their shells, because they can burst. Pierce
the yolk of fried egg before reheating it.
Pierce food with skin or peel with a fork several times before cooking.
Cut vegetables into similar-sized pieces.
Stir liquid dishes from time to time.
Stir the food before serving.
After you turn off the oven, take the food out and let it stand for a few minutes.
Microwave defrosting
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.
Remove defrosted pieces subsequently.
To cook fruit and vegetables without defrosting them first, you can use a higher microwave
power.
