Defrosting, heating up or cooking frozen food

Notes

Take ready meals out of the packaging. They will heat up 

more quickly and evenly in microwaveable ovenware. The 

different components of the meal may not require the same 

amount of time to heat up .

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.

Always cover the food. If you do not have a suitable cover for 

your ovenware, use a plate or special microwave foil.

Stir or turn the food 2 or 3 times during cooking.

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.

This will help the food retain its own distinct taste, so it will 

require less seasoning.

Risk of scalding!

There is a possibility of delayed boiling when a liquid is heated. 

This means that the liquid reaches boiling temperature without 

the usual steam bubbles rising to the surface. Even if the 

container only moves a little, the hot liquid can suddenly boil 

over and spatter. When heating liquids, always place a spoon in 

the container. This will prevent delayed boiling.
