Tips for the microwave
Problem
You cannot find details for the amount of
food prepared.
The food got too dry.
The food is not defrosted, hot or cooked af-
ter the time came to an end.
After the cooking time comes to an end, the
food is overheated at the edge but is still not
ready in the middle.
• To get better results for rice use a flat, wide
dish.
• You can find the standing time in the
cooking tables. This information tells how
long the food should stand in the appliance
or out of it after cooking. This lets the heat to
spread in the food equally.

Look for a similar food. Increase or shorten the length of
the cooking times according to the following rule: Dou-
ble the amount = almost double the time, Half the
amount = half the time
Set shorter cooking time or select lower microwave pow-
er.
Set longer cooking time or set higher power. Note that
large dishes need longer time.
Next time set a lower power and a longer time. Stir liquids
halfway through, e.g. soup.
Defrosting
Always defrost roast with the fat side down.
Do not defrost covered meat because this may
cause cooking instead of defrosting.
Always defrost whole poultry breast side down.
