9. HINTS AND TIPS
WARNING!
Refer to Safety chapters.
9.1 Tips for the microwave cooking
Problem
Remedy
You cannot find details on the amount
of food prepared.
Look for a similar type of food. Increase or short‐
en the length of the cooking times according to
the following rule:
• Double the amount almost double the time.
• Half the amount is a half time.
The food got too dry.
Set a shorter cooking time or select a lower mi‐
crowave power.
The food is not defrosted, hot or
cooked when the time ends.
Set a longer cooking time or a higher power. Note
that large dishes need a longer time.
After the cooking time ends, the food
is overheated on the outside, but still
not ready inside.
Next time set a lower power and a longer time.
Stir liquids halfway through, e.g. soup.
Rice cooking results are poor.
To get better results for rice use a flat, wide dish.
9.2 Defrosting
Always defrost roast fat side down.
Do not defrost covered meat as it may
cause cooking instead of defrosting.
Always defrost whole poultry breast side
down.
9.3 Cooking
Always remove chilled meat and poultry
from the refrigerator at least 30 minutes
before cooking.
Let the meat, poultry, fish and vegetables
stay covered after cooking.
Brush a little oil or melted butter over the
fish.
All vegetables should be cooked at the
full microwave power.
Add 30 - 45 ml of cold water for every
250 g of vegetables.
Cut fresh vegetables into even sized
pieces before cooking. Cook all
vegetables with a cover on the container.
9.4 Reheating
When you reheat packed ready meals
always follow the instruction written on
the packaging.
9.5 Grilling
Grill flat food items in the middle of the
grill rack.
