Tips on defrosting, heating and cooking with the
microwave next time
Follow these tips for good results when defrosting,
heating and cooking with the microwave.
Issue Tip
Your food is too dry.
¡
Reduce the cooking
time or select a lower
microwave power set-
ting.
¡
Cover the food and
add more liquid.
Issue Tip
The time has elapsed but
the food is not defrosted,
hot or cooked. Increase the cooking
time. Large quantities and
food which is piled high
require longer times.
The time has elapsed but
your food is not yet done
on the inside, but is
already overdone on the
outside.
¡
Stir occasionally.
¡
Reduce the microwave
power setting and in-
crease the cooking
time.
After defrosting, the
poultry or meat is defros-
ted on the outside but not
defrosted in the middle.
¡
Reduce the microwave
power setting.
¡
Turn large pieces of
frozen food several
times.
23.3 Heating
With your appliance you can heat food.
Heating up or cooking frozen food with the microwave
Observe the recommended settings for using the microwave to heat food.
Note:
Cooking tips
¡
Use microwave-safe cookware with a lid. You can also use a plate or a microwave cover to cover the dish. Take
ready meals out of the packaging.
¡
Distribute the food flat in the cookware. Food which lies flat cooks more quickly than food which is piled high.
¡
Place the cookware on the bottom of the cooking compartment.
¡
The food transfers heat to the cookware. The cookware can become very hot. Use oven gloves.
¡
Turn or stir the food 2 to 3 times during this time.
¡
After heating, leave the food to rest for 2 to 5ºminutes.
¡
The food will retain most of its natural flavor. Use salt and seasonings sparingly.
