Heating food

Risk of scalding!
There is a possibility of delayed boiling when a liquid is
heated. This means that the liquid reaches boiling
temperature without the usual steam bubbles rising to
the surface. Even if the container only vibrates a little,
the hot liquid may suddenly boil over and spatter. When
heating liquids, always place a glass rod/spoon in the
container. This will prevent delayed boiling.
Caution!
Metal ­ e.g. a spoon in a glass ­ must be kept at least
2 cm from the oven walls and the inside of the door.
Sparks could irreparably damage the glass on the inside
of the door.
Notes
‒ 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
.
‒ 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 several times during cooking.
Check the temperature.
‒ After heating, allow the food to stand for a further 2
to 5 minutes so that it can achieve an even
temperature.
‒ Always use an oven cloth or oven gloves when
removing plates from the oven.
Note: Place the ovenware on the cooking compartment
floor.
Cooking food
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.
Foodstuffs should not be placed in layers on top of one
another.
Cook the food in ovenware with a lid. Food should be
stirred or turned during cooking.
This will help the food retain more of its own distinct
taste, so it will require less seasoning.
After heating, allow the food to stand for a further 2 to 5
minutes so that it can achieve an even temperature.
Note: Place the ovenware on the cooking compartment
floor.
