If you are using silicone moulds, check the manufac-
turer's instructions to see whether they are suitable for
use with microwaves or steam-assisted cooking. Use
the manufacturer's instructions and recipes as a guide.
Silicone moulds are often smaller than normal tins. The
given quantities and recipes may vary.
Greaseproof paper
Only use greaseproof paper that is suitable for the se-
lected temperature. Always cut the greaseproof paper
to size.
WARNING ‒ Risk of fire!
Opening the appliance door creates a draught.
Greaseproof paper may come into contact with the
heating element and catch fire.
Never place greaseproof paper loosely over ac-
▶
cessories when preheating the appliance and while
cooking.
Always cut greaseproof paper to size and use a
▶
plate or baking tin to hold it down.

Oven chips
20.4 Tips for defrosting and heating
Follow these tips for good results when defrosting and
heating.
Issue
The food should be de-
frosted, hot or cooked
once the time has
elapsed.
Tip
¡ Keep cooking times as
short as possible.
¡ Brown dishes until they
are golden brown and
not too dark.
¡ Use large, thick pieces
of food. These contain
less acrylamide.
¡ Set the temperature for
hot air to max. 180 °C.
¡ Brush baked items
and biscuits with egg
or egg yolk. This redu-
ces the production of
acrylamide.
¡ Spread the chips out
evenly and in a single
layer on the baking
tray.
¡ Cook at least 400 g at
once on a baking tray
so that the chips do
not dry out.
Tip
Set a longer cooking
time. Larger quantities
and food which is piled
high require longer times.
Issue
Once the time has
elapsed, the food should
not be overheated at the
edge and cooked in the
middle.
After defrosting, poultry or
meat should not be de-
frosted on the outside
only but still frozen in the
middle.
The food should not be
too dry.

How it works en
Tip
¡ Stir the food occasio-
nally.
¡ Set a lower microwave

large quantity, turn it
several times.
¡ Set a lower microwave
power setting.
¡ Set a shorter cooking
time.
¡ Cover the food.

Tip
Increase or reduce the
cooking time.
Rule of thumb: Double the
quantity = almost double
the time; half the quantity
= almost half the time
¡ Reduce the cooking ti-
me.
Or:
¡ Select a lower micro-
wave output setting.
¡ Cover the food and
add more liquid.
Increase the cooking
time.
¡ Stir the food occasio-
nally.
¡ Next time, set a lower
output setting and a
longer cooking time.
¡ Next time, select a
lower microwave out-
put setting.
¡ If you are defrosting a
large quantity, turn it
several times.
