Heating up or cooking frozen food with the microwave
Observe the recommended settings for using the microwave to heat food.
Note:
Cooking tips
¡ Use microwave-safe cookware with a lid. You can also use a plate or a microwave cover to cover the dish. Take
ready meals out of the packaging.
¡ Distribute the food flat in the cookware. Food which lies flat cooks more quickly than food which is piled high.
¡ Place the cookware on the bottom of the cooking compartment.
¡ The food transfers heat to the cookware. The cookware can become very hot. Use oven gloves.
¡ Turn or stir the food several times during cooking.
¡ After cooking, leave the food to rest for 2 to 5ºminutes.
¡ The food will retain most of its natural flavor. Use salt and seasonings sparingly.
¡ Take lasagne out of the packaging and place in microwave-safe cookware.
¡ Best suited is frozen Lasagne with a maximum height of around 3 cm.
¡ To achieve best results, we recommend that you reheat food or ready meals at 600 watts. If the packaging spe-
cifies a higher microwave output setting, extend the time.
