different components of the meal may not require the same
amount of time to heat up .
■
Always cover the food. If you do not have a suitable cover for
your container, use a plate or special microwave foil.
■
Stir or turn the food several times during the heating time.
Check the temperature.
■
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.
Cooking food
Notes
■
Food which lies flat will cook more quickly than food which is
piled high. You should therefore distribute the food so that it
is as flat as possible in the ovenware. Different foodstuffs
should not be placed in layers on top of one another.
■
Cook the food in ovenware with a lid. If you do not have a
suitable lid for your ovenware, use a plate or special
microwave foil.
■
This will help the food retain its own distinct taste, so it will
require less seasoning.
■
After cooking, 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.
Popcorn for the microwave
Notes
■
Use heat-resistant, flat glass ovenware, e.g. the lid of an
ovenproof dish, a glass plate or a glass tray (Pyrex)
■
Always place the ovenware on the wire rack at level 1.
■
Do not use porcelain or extremely curved plates.
■
Make the settings as described in the table. You can adjust
the timings according to product and amount.
■
So that the popcorn doesn't burn, briefly take the popcorn
bag out of the oven after 1 minute and 30 seconds and
shake it. Take care as the bag will be hot!
