Defrosting, Heating Up And Cooking With The Microwave - NEFF C54L70N3 Instrucciones De Uso

Notes
The values in the table always apply to food placed into the
■
cooking compartment when it is cold and empty. Only
preheat the appliance if the table specifies that you should do
so. Before using the appliance, remove all accessories from
the cooking compartment that you will not be using.
The times specified in the tables are only guidelines. They
■
depend on the quality and consistency of the food.
Use the accessories supplied. Additional accessories may be
■
obtained from specialist retailers or from the after-sales
service.
Always use an oven cloth or oven gloves when taking
■
accessories or cookware out of the cooking compartment.
Defrosting, heating up and cooking with the
microwave
The following tables provide you with numerous options and
settings for the microwave.
The times specified in the tables are only guidelines. They may
vary according to the ovenware used, the quality, temperature
and consistency of the food.
Defrosting
Meat, whole pieces of beef, veal or
pork (on the bone or boned)
Meat in pieces or slices of beef,
veal or pork
Minced meat, mixed
Poultry or poultry portions
Fish fillet, fish steak or slices
Whole fish
Vegetables, e.g. peas
Fruit, e.g. raspberries
Butter, defrosting
Loaf of bread

Defrosting, heating up or cooking frozen food
Notes
Take ready meals out of the packaging. They will heat up
■
more quickly and evenly in microwaveable ovenware. The
different components of the meal may not require the same
amount of time to heat up .
Food which lies flat will cook more quickly than food which is
■
piled high. You should therefore distribute the food so that it
is as flat as possible in the ovenware. Different foodstuffs
should not be placed in layers on top of one another.

Time ranges are often specified in the tables. Set the shortest
time first and then extend the time if necessary.
It may be that you have different quantities from those specified
in the tables. A rule of thumb can be applied:
Double the amount - almost twice the cooking time,
Half the amount - half the cooking time.
Stir or turn the food several times during the heating time.
Check the temperature.
Defrosting
Notes
Place the frozen food in an open container on the cooking
■
compartment floor.
Turn or stir the food once or twice during the defrosting time.
■
Large pieces of food should be turned several times.
Liquid will be produced when meat, poultry or fish is
■
defrosted. Drain off this liquid when turning meat and poultry
and under no circumstances use it for other purposes or
allow it to come into contact with other foods.
Leave defrosted items to stand at room temperature for a
■
further 10 to 30 minutes so that the temperature can even
out. The giblets can be removed from poultry at this point.
Notes
Turn several times
Separate the defrosted parts when
turning
Turn several times, remove meat
which has already defrosted
Turn several times
Separate defrosted parts.
Turn during defrosting.
Stir carefully during defrosting and
separate any defrosted parts.
Remove all packaging.
Turn during defrosting.
Only for cakes without icing, cream or
crème pâtissière, separate the pieces
of cake.
Only for cakes without icing, cream or
gelatine
Always cover the food. If you do not have a suitable cover for
■
your ovenware, use a plate or special microwave foil.
Stir or turn the food 2 or 3 times during cooking.
■
After heating, allow the food to stand for a further 2 to
■
5 minutes so that it can achieve an even temperature.
Always use an oven cloth or oven gloves when removing
■
plates from the oven.
This will help the food retain its own distinct taste, so it will
■
require less seasoning.
