Helpful hints and tips
Tips for the microwave
Problem
You cannot find details for the amount of food
prepared.
The food got too dry.
The food is not defrosted, hot or cooked after
the time came to an end.
After the cooking time comes to an end, the
food is overheated at the edge but is still not
ready in the middle.
To get better results for rice use a flat, wide
dish.
Defrosting
Always defrost roast with the fat side down.
Do not defrost covered meat because this may
cause cooking instead of defrosting.
Always defrost whole poultry breast side down.
Cooking
Always remove chilled meat and poultry from
the refrigerator at least 30 minutes before cook-
ing.
Let the meat, poultry, fish and vegetables stay
covered after cooking.
Brush a little oil or melted butter over the fish.

Place the grill rack on the turntable set.
Never cook food directly on the glass
cooking tray.
Look for a similar food. Increase or shorten the length of the
cooking times according to the following rule: Double the
amount = almost double the time, Half the amount =
half the time
Set shorter cooking time or select lower microwave power.
Set longer cooking time or set higher power. Note that large
dishes need longer time.
Next time set a lower power and a longer time. Stir liquids
halfway through, e.g. soup.
Add 30 – 45 ml of cold water for every 250 g of
vegetables. Cut the fresh vegetables into even
size pieces before cooking. Cook all vegetables
with a cover on the container.
Reheating
When you reheat packed ready meals always
follow the instruction written on the packaging.
Grilling
Grill flat food items in the middle of the grill rack.
Turn the food over halfway through the set time
and continue grilling.
Combi Cooking
