Defrosting and heating up or cooking
frozen food
Take ready meals out of the packaging. They will heat up
more quickly and evenly in microwaveable ovenware.
The different components of the meal may not require
the same amount of time to heat up .
Food which lies flat will cook more quickly than food
which is piled high. You should therefore distribute the
food so that it is as flat as possible in the container.
Different foodstuffs should not be vertically stacked in
layers.
Always cover the food. If you do not have a suitable
cover for your container, use a plate or special
microwave foil.
Stir or turn the food 2 - 3 times during cooking.
After heating, allow the food to stand for a further 2 to 5
minutes so that it can achieve an even temperature.
This will help the food retain its own distinct taste, so it
will require less seasoning.
Note: Place the ovenware on the cooking compartment
floor.
