Expert Cooking Guide
Here you will find a selection of recipes and the ideal settings for them. We will show you which type of
heating and which temperature or microwave power setting is best for your meal. You can find information
about suitable accessories and the height at which they should be inserted. There are also tips about
ovenware and preparation methods.
Notes:
The values in the table always apply to food placed into the cooking compartment when it is cold and
empty. Only preheat the appliance if the table specifies that you should do so. Before using the appliance,
remove all accessories from the cooking compartment that you will not be using.
Do not line the accessories with greaseproof paper until after they have been preheated.
The times specified in the tables are only guidelines. They will depend on the quality and composition of
the food.
Use the accessories supplied.
Always use an oven cloth or oven gloves when taking accessories or ovenware out of the cooking
compartment.
Defrosting, heating up and cooking with the microwave
The following tables provide you with numerous options and settings for the microwave.
The times specified in the tables are only guidelines. They may vary according to the ovenware used,
the quality, temperature and consistency of the food.
Time ranges are often specified in the tables. Set the shortest time first and then extend the time if
necessary.
Defrosting
Notes:
Place the frozen food in an open container on the lower wire rack.
Delicate parts such as the legs and wings of chicken or fatty outer layers of roasts can be covered with
small pieces of aluminium foil. The foil must not touch the cooking compartment walls. You can remove
the foil half way through the defrosting time.
Turn or stir the food once or twice during the defrosting time. Large pieces of food should be turned
several times. When turning, remove any liquid that has resulted from defrosting.
Leave defrosted items to stand at room temperature for a further 10 to 60 minutes so that the temperature
can stabilise. The giblets can be removed from poultry at this point.
Defrosting, heating up or cooking frozen food
Notes:
Take ready meals out of the packaging. They will heat up more quickly and evenly in microwaveable
ovenware. The different components of the meal may not require the same amount of time to heat up.
Food that lies flat will cook more quickly so ensure that it is as level as possible in the cookware.
Different foodstuffs should not be placed in layers on top of one another.
Always cover the food. If you do not have a suitable cover for your ovenware, use a plate or special
microwave foil.
Stir or turn the food 2 or 3 times during cooking.
After heating, allow the food to stand for a further 2 to 5 minutes so that it can achieve an even
temperature.
Always use an oven cloth or oven gloves when removing plates from the oven.
