Notes
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.
Cook the food in ovenware with a lid. If you do not have a
■
suitable lid for your ovenware, use a plate or special
microwave foil.

About the tables
Notes
The times given apply to food placed in a cold oven.
■
The temperature and baking time depend on the consistency
■
and amount of the mixture. This is why temperature ranges
are given in the tables. Begin with the lower temperature and,
if necessary, use a higher setting the next time, since a lower
temperature results in more even browning.

Notes
Ovenware with lid
Add a little liquid
This will help the food retain its own distinct taste, so it will
■
require less seasoning.
After cooking, 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.
Notes
Turn halfway through the cooking time
-
Cut vegetables into pieces of equal size.
Add 1 to 2 tbsp water per 100 g of vegetables.
Stir during cooking
Stir the custard pudding thoroughly 2 to
3 times during cooking using an egg whisk.
-
Cut the potatoes into pieces of equal size;
Add 1 to 2 tbsp water for every 100 g.
Stir during cooking
Add double the amount of liquid.
Increase or reduce the cooking times using the following rule of
thumb:
Double the amount = almost double the cooking time
Half the amount = half the cooking time
Next time, set a shorter cooking time or select a lower microwave
power setting. Cover the food and add more liquid.
Set a longer time. Large quantities and food which is piled high
require longer times.
Stir it during the cooking time and next time, select a lower micro-
wave power setting and a longer cooking time.
Next time, select a lower microwave power setting. If you are
defrosting a large quantity, turn it several times.
