6.1
Information on cooking food
• Arrange the food carefully. Place the thickest areas towards the outside.
• Pay attention to the cooking time. Always cook for the shortest indicated time
and increase it if necessary. Overcooked foods may smoulder or ignite.
• Cover food during cooking. Covers prevent spraying and ensure even cooking.
• Turn foods such as chicken and hamburger once during the cooking process.
Large food such as roasts must be turned over at least once.
• Rearrange foods such as meatballs after half the time from top to bottom and from
the centre outwards.
6.2
Information about cookware
• The ideal material for a microwave oven is transparent to microwaves, allowing
energy to penetrate through the container and heat the food.
• Microwaves cannot penetrate metal, so metal dishes or dishes with metallic trim
should not be used.
• Do not use recycled paper products for cooking in a microwave oven, as they
may contain small metal fragments which may cause sparks and/or fires.
• Round/oval dishes are better than square/oblong dishes, because food may
overheat in the corners of the dish.
The following list serves as a guideline for suitable dishes:

Heat-resistant glass
Non-heat-resistant glass
