6. Cooking and heating up in the microwave

6.1. General notes

• To arrange food so that it cooks properly, place the food with the largest pieces
towards the outer edge.
• Note the exact cooking or heating times.
• Choose the shortest available cooking or heating time and extend it if necessary.
WARNING!
Overcooked food can start to smoke or even catch
fire.
• Cover food during cooking or heating with a cover that is suitable for the
microwave. Covering the food helps avoid splashes; furthermore the food is
more evenly cooked.
• Foods such as chicken pieces or hamburgers should be turned once during
cooking to speed up cooking. Larger pieces such as joints or roasting chickens
must be turned at least once.
• It is also important to reposition food, e.g. with meatballs. After half of the
cooking time has expired, the food should be repositioned from top to bottom
and from the middle to the outside.
• After heating, stir the food if possible to ensure even temperatures, otherwise let
the food stand for a short time.

6.2. Microwave-suitable materials

You can buy special dishes and accessories for your microwave. Look for markings
such as "Microwave-suitable" or "For the microwave". You can also use your existing
dishes – if the material is suitable.
6.2.1. Suitable materials
• Porcelain, glass ceramic and heatproof glass.
• Plastics which are heatproof and microwave-suitable (Note: plastics may
become discoloured by foods or become warped by the heat)
