USING THE MICROWAVE SETTING

cooking and before the standing time� Add salt or herbs and butter� The rice
may not have absorbed all the water after cooking is completed�
Pasta Use a large, glass Pyrex dish� Add boiling water and a pinch of salt and stir it
all thoroughly� Do not cover during cooking� Stir several times during and after
cooking� Cover during the standing time and then drain well�

WARMING UP
The microwave oven only needs a fraction of the time a traditional oven requires to
warm up dishes�
Dividing and covering
Avoid warming up large pieces of food� They may become overcooked and dry out before
they are warm enough inside� Warming up smaller pieces works better� If you cover dishes
during the warming up, you prevent them from drying out�
Power settings
Different power settings can be used to warm up dishes� In general it is advisable to use a low
power for delicate dishes or dishes which heat up fast, such as fruit pie�
Stirring
For best results, stir dishes thoroughly or turn them over during the warming up� If possible, stir
one more time before serving� Stirring is particularly important if you are warming up liquids�
Warming up and standing times
If you are warming up dishes for the first time, it is useful to note down the time required, so
that you can consult this in the future� Avoid overheating� If you are not sure about the cooking
time, it is better to stick to a short time� In that case you can always add extra time if you need
it� Always make sure that warmed up dishes are heated thoroughly�
Let dishes stand for a short while after warming up to ensure that the temperature is evenly
distributed� The recommended standing time after warming up is 2 - 4 minutes�
