Basic principles of microwave
cookery
Cooking time: Pay attention to the cooking
time. Select the shortest possible stated cooking
time and increase as required. Food that is
cooked too long can begin to smoke or catch
fire.
Food: Arrange the pieces of food evenly
in the product. Cut the food into pieces of
approximately the same size. Place the thickest
pieces near the edges.
Covering food: Cover the food during
cooking with a lid suitable for microwave
cookery. The lid prevents splashing and helps in
the even cooking of the food.
Turning food: While cooking, turn the
food in the product once so that items such
as chicken or hamburgers are cooked more
quickly. Large pieces of food, such as joints of
meat, must be turned at least once.
Completely rearrange small food items, such as
meatballs, after half the cooking time. Turn the
meatballs and move them from the middle of
the plate to the edge.
Food with skins: Puncture the skins of
potatoes, sausages and similar food before
cooking. Otherwise, they could explode.
Food with thick skins: Prick whole
pumpkins, apples, chestnuts and similar food
before cooking.
Fat or oil: Do not thaw frozen fat or oil in the
product. Do not fry foods in the product. The fat
or oil could ignite.
Beverages: When heating drinks with the
product, bubbling may be delayed when
the drink boils. Be careful when handling the
container. To avoid sudden bubbling up:
If possible, place a suitable glass rod in the fluid
for as long as it is being heated.
To avoid an unexpected bubbling up, leave the
liquid to stand in the cooking chamber
14
for
about 20 seconds after heating.
Popcorn: Only microwaveable popcorn shall
be used.
Using suitable cookware
The ideal material for use in a microwave oven
is microwave-permeable, allowing the energy
to penetrate the container to heat the food.
Microwaves cannot penetrate metal. For this
reason, metal containers and cookware should
not be used.
When using the product for heating, do not use
products made of recycled paper. These can
contain minute fragments of metal, which can
generate sparks and/or fires.
We recommend the use of round/oval
cookware instead of square or oblong
containers, as food in corner areas tends to
overcook. The following list provides general
hints to assist you in selecting the correct
cookware.
