11. HINTS AND TIPS

WARNING!

Refer to Safety chapters.

The temperature and baking

times in the tables are

guidelines only. They

depend on the recipes and

the quality and quantity of

the ingredients used.

11.1 Cooking recommendations

Your oven may bake or roast differently

to the oven you had before. The below

tables provide you with the standard

settings for temperature, cooking time

and shelf position.
If you cannot find the settings for a

special recipe, look for the similar one.

11.2 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.

11.3 Microwave suitable cookware and materials

For the microwave use only suitable cookware and materials. Use below table as
