9.1 Tips for the microwave
Problem Remedy
You cannot find details for the
amount of food prepared.
Look for a similar food. Increase or shorten the
length of the cooking times according to the fol-
lowing 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 micro-
wave power.
The food is not defrosted, hot or
cooked after the time came to an
end.
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 mid-
dle.
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.
9.2 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.
9.3
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.
All vegetables should be cooked at full
microwave power.
Add 30 - 45 ml of cold water for every 250
g of vegetables.
Cut the fresh vegetables into even size
pieces before cooking. Cook all
vegetables with a cover on the container.
9.4 Reheating
When you reheat packed ready meals
always follow the instruction written on the
packaging.
