•
Whole joints require a longer cooking
time than stewed dishes.
•
A joint requires a longer time than a
dish using minced meat.
•
The colder the food, the longer the
cooking time needs to be. Food at
room temperature will therefore cook
faster than food from a fridge or
freezer.
•
When cooking vegetables, the cook-
ing time depends on the freshness of
the vegetables. Therefore, check the
condition of the vegetables and add
or deduct a little time accordingly.
•
The short cooking time when using
the appliance means that the food
does not overcook. If required, a little
water can be added.
•
When cooking fish and vegetables,
you only need to use the minimum of
water.
Microwave power
The choice of power setting depends on
the condition of the food to be cooked.
In most cases, the food is cooked on full
power.
•
Full power is used, among other
things, for reheating food quickly, boil-
ing water or similar.
•
Low power is principally used to
defrost food and prepare dishes con-
taining cheese, milk or egg. (Whole
eggs in their shell cannot be cooked
in the appliance, as there is a risk of
the eggs exploding.) In addition, lower
power settings are also used to finish
off and to retain the excellent aroma
of a dish.

General information on cooking
•
If the whole meal is to be prepared
in the appliance, it is recommended
that you start with the most compact
foods, such as potatoes. Once these
are ready, cover them while the rest
of the food is prepared.
•
Most food should be covered. A
close-fitting cover retains the steam
and moisture, which shortens the
cooking time in the appliance. This
is particularly the case when cooking
vegetables, fish dishes and casse-
roles.
•
Covering food also distributes the
heat better, thus ensuring rapid and
excellent results.
•
In order to achieve the best possible
results, it is important to position the
food correctly, as the microwave rays
are most powerful in the centre of the
appliance. If, for example, you are
baking potatoes, you should posi-
tion them along the edge of the glass
turntable so that they cook evenly.
•
In order to cook compact dishes such
as meat and poultry evenly, it is im-
portant to turn the meat a few times.
•
You can use the appliance for bak-
ing, although not recipes that include
yeast.
•
When preparing food with a thick
skin, e.g. potatoes, apples, whole
squash or chestnuts, you should prick
holes in the skin to prevent the food
from bursting during cooking.
