5.1 Principles of microwave cooking
•
The power levels and time required for cooking / warming up food items depends on
the starting time, the quantity and the type and consistency of the food, etc. Use the
shortest indicated cooking time and extend the cooking procedure as necessary.
•
Arrange the food carefully. Position the thickest areas on the external edge of the bowl.
•
Cover the food while it is cooking. Lids protect against spatters and also contribute
towards cooking/warming up the food evenly.
•
During warming, the food should be turned, rearranged or stirred repeatedly, in order
for the temperature to be distributed evenly.
•
Any existing germs in the food are only killed off if the temperature is suffi ciently high
enough (> 70°C) and if the time used is suffi ciently long enough (> 10 min).
•
Foods with a fi rm skin or shell, such as tomatoes, sausages, potatoes in the skin, egg-
plants must be pierced or punctured repeatedly so that any developing steam can
escape and so that the food does not burst.
•
Eggs without their shell may only be cooked in the microwave if the skin of the egg
yoke has been pierced repeatedly fi rst. Otherwise, the egg yoke can squirt out with
excessive pressure after cooking.
•
Rearrange layers of foods such as meat balls from top to the bottom and from the
middle to the outside edge.

5.3 Information on microwave cookware
The ideal material for microwave cookware is permeable for microwaves and allows the
energy to penetrate the container and warm up the food.
PLEASE NOTE
Please observe the following tips when selecting the correct cookware:

Microwaves cannot penetrate metal. Therefore, you should not use utensils made of
metal or cookware with metal trim.

For microwave cooking, do not use any products made from recycled paper, as they
could contain tiny metal fragments, which could cause sparks and/or result in fi re.

Use round or oval instead of square or rectangular cookware, as otherwise the food
could tend to overheat in the corners.

Do not use any aluminium foil when using the microwave.
