GB 6
The microwave oven is not suitable for:
– Making preserves.
– Cooking eggs in their shells, because
these burst due to the increase in
pressure.
– Heating oil for deep-frying.
Remove metal closures from plastic bags and
use dishes and plates which are suitable for
the microwave oven.
You may only heat liquids in airtight packaging
if you first prick the packaging.
This is because of the increase in pressure
which occurs during heating.
Never heat things for longer than is necessary;
take the "standing time" into account.
Use as little water as possible when cooking
food and be sparing with salt.
Stir or turn dishes halfway through the cooking
time.
Prick the packaging of meat, chicken and fish
with a fork or any other pointed object.
This prevents these foods bursting.
A useful rule when using the microwave oven
is: doubling the quantity of food means doubling
the cooking time.

* By covering thinner pieces of food (such as chicken legs) you prevent them cooking too quickly.
** If in doubt, consult the manufacturer's instructions on the packaging of the cooking utensil.
Covering the food prevents it spattering, shortens the
cooking time and helps to retain moisture.
The door may be opened if the microwave oven is
switched on: the microwave oven then switches itself
off automatically and the cooking time is stopped.
Not all materials are suitable for use in the combi-
