10. HINTS AND TIPS
WARNING!
Refer to Safety chapters.
10.1 Cooking recommendations
Your oven may bake or roast differently to the oven you had before. The tables below show
recommended settings for temperature, cooking time and shelf position for specific types of the
food.
If you cannot find the settings for a special recipe, look for the similar one.
For more cooking recommendations refer to cooking tables on our website. To find the Cooking
Hints check the PNC number on the rating plate on the front frame of the oven cavity.
10.2 Microwave recommendations
Place the food on a plate on the bottom of the cavity.
Turn or stir the food halfway through the defrosting and cooking time.
Cover the food for cooking and reheating.
Put the spoon to the bottle or glass when heating drinks to ensure better heat distribution.
Put the food into the oven without any packaging. The packaged ready meals can be put into
the oven only when the packaging is microwave safe (check information on the packaging).
Microwave cooking
Cook food covered. If you want to keep a crust cook food without a cover.
Do not overcook the dishes by setting the power and time too high. The food can dry out, burn
or cause fire.
Do not use the oven to cook eggs or snails in their shells, because they can burst. Pierce the
yolk of fried egg before reheating it.
Pierce food with skin or peel with a fork several times before cooking.
Cut vegetables into similar-sized pieces.
Stir liquid dishes from time to time.
Stir the food before serving.
After you turn off the oven, take the food out and let it stand for a few minutes.
Microwave defrosting
Put the frozen, unwrapped food on a small upturned plate with a container below it, or on a
defrosting rack or plastic sieve so that the defrosting liquid can run off.
Remove defrosted pieces subsequently.
To cook fruit and vegetables without defrosting them first, you can use a higher microwave
power.
10.3 Microwave suitable cookware and materials
