HELPFUL HINTS AND TIPS
Problem
Remedy
You cannot find details for food prepared.
Look for a similar food. Increase or shorten the length of
the cooking times according to the following rule:
Double the amount = almost double the time, Half
the amount = half the time
The food got too dry.
Set shorter cooking time or select lower microwave
power.
The food is not defrosted, hot or cooked after the
cooking time ended.
Set longer cooking time or set higher power. Note that
large dishes need longer time.
After the cooking time comes to an end, the food is
overheated at the edge but is still not ready in the
middle.
Next time set a lower power and a longer time. Stir
liquids halfway through, e.g., soup.
To get better results for rice use a flat, wide dish.
Defrosting
Always defrost roast with the fat side down. Do not defrost
covered meat because this may cause cooking instead of
defrosting. Always defrost whole poultry breast side down.
Cooking
Always remove chilled meat and poultry from the
refrigerator at least 30 minutes before cooking. Let the
meat, poultry, fish, and vegetables stay covered after
cooking.
Brush a little oil or melted butter over the fish. Add 30-
45ml of cold water for every 250g of vegetables. Cut the
fresh vegetables into even size pieces before cooking.
Cook all vegetables with a cover on the container.
Reheating
When you reheat packed ready meals always follow the
instructions written on the packaging.
Grilling
Grill flat food items in the middle of the grill rack. Turn
the food over halfway through the set time and continue
grilling.
Combi Cooking
Use Combi Cooking to keep the crispness of certain
foods. Halfway through the cooking time turn the foods
over and continue cooking. Each Combi mode combines
the microwave and grill functions at different time periods
and power levels.
