MODIFICATION OF CONVENTIONAL RECIPES
● For microwave operation
If you'd like to modify your favorite recipes to use
a microwave, you should note the following:
Shorten cooking time by 1/3 or 1/2. Use the
recipes in this cookbook as a guideline.
Foods with a high water content, like fish, meat,
poultry, vegetables, fruit, stews and soups, can
easily be prepared in the microwave. When
cooking foods with a low water content, like plate
servings, the food surface should be moistened
with water prior to cooking or heating.
When adding fluids to raw foods that should be
steamed, reduce the amount of fluid listed in the
original recipe to 2/3. If necessary, add more
fluid during cooking.
The addition of cooking fat can be greatly
reduced. A small amount of butter, margarine or
oil is sufficient to add flavor to your foods. The
microwave is therefore great for preparing low-fat
foods for dieting.
USING THESE RECIPES
● All recipes in this cookbook will make – unless
otherwise noted – 4 portions.
● Recommendations for suitable dishware and the
total cooking time can be found at the
beginning of each recipe.
● If the use of the lowest or highest rack is
indicated in the recipe, please use exclusively
the round racks.

● For combi operation
In general, the same rules apply as for microwave
operation. Additionally, please remember the
following notes.
1. Use the recipes in this cookbook as a guideline
when selecting the Hot Air temperature. The
temperature should not be too high even for
long cooking times, since the foods will brown
too much on the outside while still being raw
on the inside.
2. The microwave power should correspond to the
type of food and the cooking time. Use the
recipes in this cookbook as a guideline.
3. If you prepare foods using the combi
microwave-grill operation, you should observe
the following: For large, big foods, e.g. pork
roast, the microwave time is correspondingly
longer than for small, flat foods. It is exactly
opposite when using the grill. The closer the
food is located to the grill, the faster it will
brown. This means that when you prepare
large pieces of roast in the combi operation,
the grill time might be shorter than for smaller
pieces of roast.
4. For cooking in combi operation or with hot air
only, the lowest grill rack is usually used. Use
the highest grill rack for grilling, to achieve a
faster and more even browning (exception:
large, big foods and casseroles should be
grilled on the lowest grill rack).
●
Usually the recipes will result in ready-to-eat
amounts of food, unless another amount is
specifically noted.
