meat should be separated from each other before leaving to
stand.
After this time, you can continue to prepare the food, even
though thick pieces of meat may still be frozen in the middle.
The giblets can be removed from poultry at this point.
■
Signal
For some programmes, a signal sounds after a certain time.
Open the appliance door and separate the food out or turn
the meat or poultry. Close the door and press the Start
button.
Cooking with the automatic programmes
With the 3 cooking programmes, you can cook rice, potatoes
or vegetables.
Notes
■
Ovenware
The food must be cooked in microwaveable cookware with a
lid. For rice, you should use a large, deep dish.
■
Preparing food
Weigh out the food. You need to know the weight to set the
programme.
Rice:
Do not use boil-in-the-bag rice. Add the required amount of
water, as specified on the packaging. This is usually two or
three times the quantity of rice.
Potatoes:
For boiled potatoes, cut the fresh potatoes into small, even-
sized pieces. Add one tablespoon of water for each 100 g
boiled potatoes, and a little salt.
Fresh vegetables:
Weigh out the fresh, trimmed vegetables. Cut the vegetables
into small, even-sized pieces. Add a tbsp water for each
100 g vegetables.
■
Signal
While the programme is running, a signal sounds after some
time. Stir the food.
■
Resting time
Once the programme has finished, stir the food again. You
should leave it to stand for another 5 to 10 minutes until it
reaches an even temperature.
The cooking result will depend on the quality and consistency
of the food.
Combi ­ cooking programme
Notes
■
Ovenware
Cook the food in ovenware which is not too big, and is heat
resistant and microwaveable.
■
Preparing food
Take the food out of its packaging and weigh it. If it is not
possible to enter the exact weight, you should round it up or
down.
■
Resting time
Once the programme has finished, allow the food to rest for
another 5 to 10 minutes so it reaches an even temperature.
Tested for you in our cooking studio
Here you will find a selection of recipes and the ideal settings
for them. We show you which microwave power setting is best
suited to your dish. There are also tips about ovenware and
preparation methods.
Information regarding the tables
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.
It may be that you have different quantities from those specified
in the tables. A rule of thumb can be applied:
Double the amount - almost twice the cooking time
Half the amount - half the cooking time.
Always place the ovenware on the turntable.
Defrost
Notes
■
Place the frozen food in an open container on the turntable.
■
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 oven walls. You
can remove the foil half way through the defrosting time.
■
Liquid will be produced when defrosting meat or poultry.
Drain off this liquid when turning meat and poultry and under
no circumstances use it for other purposes or allow it to
come into contact with other foods.
■
Turn or stir the food once or twice during the defrosting time.
Large pieces of food should be turned several times.
■
Leave defrosted items to stand at room temperature for a
further 10 to 20 minutes so that the temperature is even
throughout. The giblets can be removed from poultry at this
point. The meat can still be further prepared, even if it has a
small frozen core.
