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.
