8. HINTS AND TIPS
WARNING!
Refer to Safety chapters.
8.1 Tips for the microwave cooking
Problem Remedy
You cannot find details on the amount of food
prepared.
Look for a similar type of 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 is a half time.
The food got too dry. Set a shorter cooking time or select a lower microwave power.
The food is not defrosted, hot or cooked when
the time ends.
Set a longer cooking time or a higher power. Note that large
dishes need a longer time.
After the cooking time ends, the food is overhea‐
ted on the outside, but still not ready inside.
Next time set a lower power and a longer time. Stir liquids half‐
way through, e.g. soup.
Rice cooking results are poor. To get better results for rice use a flat, wide dish.
8.2 Defrosting
Always defrost roast fat side down.
Do not defrost covered meat as it may cause
cooking instead of defrosting.
Always defrost whole poultry breast side
down.
8.3 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.
