8.1 Tips on configuring the settings for
dishes
Follow these tips to achieve optimal cooking results.
¡
Only use food that is in perfect condition.
¡
Take the food out of its packaging and weigh it. If
you cannot set the exact weight on the appliance,
round the weight up or down.
¡
Only use microwave-safe, heat-resistant cookware,
e.g. made of glass or ceramic.
¡
Place the food in the cold cooking compartment.
Defrosting
¡
Freeze and store food flat and in portion-sized
quantities at -18 °C.
¡
Place the frozen food on flat cookware, such as a
glass or porcelain plate.
¡
Food may not be completely defrosted by the end
of the programme. The food can nonetheless be fur-
ther processed.
¡
To allow the temperature to equalise, leave the de-
frosted food to rest for another 10 to 30 minutes in
the appliance after switching it off.
¡
Liquid is produced when defrosting meat or poultry.
When turning, drain off any liquid. Do not use this
for other purposes or allow it to come into contact
with other foods.
¡
After turning, remove any minced meat that has
already defrosted.
¡
Whole poultry should be placed on the cookware
breast-side down and poultry portions skin-side
down.
