Heating food in a microwave
Using the microwave, you can heat food, or defrost and
heat it in a single step.
Take ready-to-eat meals out of the packaging. The food
will heat up more quickly and evenly in cookware that is
suitable for microwaves. The various components of a
dish may require different times to heat up.
Food which lies flat will cook more quickly than food
which is piled high. Arrange the food as flat as possible
in the cookware for this reason. Food should not be
vertically stacked.
Cover the food. This will ensure better cooking results. If
you do not have a lid that fits your cookware, use a
plate or microwave film for this purpose.
Stir food two to three times during cooking and turn it if
necessary. After heating food up, leave it to rest for 1 to
2 minutes to compensate for the temperature
difference.
If you are heating up baby food, place the bottle onto
the wire rack without the teat or the lid. After heating up,
shake well or stir and be sure to check the temperature.
The food transfers heat to the cookware. It can become
very hot when only using the microwave for preparation.
