COOKING FOOD
CLING FILM AND BAGS
RECOMMENDED USE AND TIPS
remove wire TwisT-Ties from paper or plastic bags
before placing the bag in the microwave oven
cavity.
cling film shoulD be scoreD or pricked with a fork
to relieve the pressure and to prevent bursting
because steam builds up during cooking.
since microwaves penetrate the food to a limited
depth, if there are a number of pieces to cook at
once, arrange the pieces in a circle to create
more outside pieces.
small pieces cook more quickly than large pieces.
cuT fooD into pieces of equal size for uniform
cooking.
moisTure evaporaTes during microwave cooking.
a microwave-proof cover on the container helps
reduce moisture loss.
mosT fooDs will conTinue to cook after microwave
has nished cooking it. Therefore, always allow
for standing time to complete the cooking.
sTirring is usually necessary during microwave
cooking. When stirring, bring the cooked
portions on the outside edges towards the
centre and the less-cooked centre portions
towards the outside.
place Thin slices of meaT on top of each other or
interlace them. Thicker slices such as meat loaf
and sausages have to be placed close to each
other.
LIQUIDS
liquiDs may overheaT beyond boiling point
without visibly bubbling. This could cause hot
liquids to suddenly boil over.
To prevenT This possibiliTy:
q Avoid using straight-sided containers with
narrow necks.
w Stir the liquid before placing the container
in the microwave oven cavity and leave
the teaspoon in the container.
e After heating, stir again before carefully
removing the container from the
microwave oven.
BABY FOOD
afTer heaTing baby fooD or liquids in a baby bottle
or in a baby food jar, always stir and check the
temperature before serving.
This will ensure that the heat is evenly
distributed and avoid the risk of scalding or
burns.
ensure that the lid and the teat are removed
before heating.
FROZEN FOOD
for besT resulTs, we recommend defrosting
directly on the glass turntable. If needed, it is
possible to use a light-plastic container that is
suitable for microwave.
boileD fooD, stews and meat sauces defrost
better if stirred during the defrosting time.
separaTe pieces as they begin to defrost.
Individual slices defrost more easily.
HOW TO READ THE COOKING TABLE
The Table inDicaTes The besT funcTions to use for any
given food. Cooking times, where indicated,
start from the moment when food is placed in
the microwave oven cavity, excluding pre-
heating (where required).
cooking seTTings anD Times are purely for

cur while the oven is in operation and the oven
could be damaged.
