TIPS FOR THE MICROWAVE
Problem
Remedy
You cannot find details for the amount of
food prepared.
Look for a similar food. Increase or shorten the length
of the cooking times according to the following rule:
Double the amount = almost double the time,
Half the amount = half the time
The food got too dry.
Set shorter cooking time or select lower microwave
power.
The food is not defrosted, hot or cooked
after the time came to an end.
Set longer cooking time or set higher power. Note that
large dishes need longer time.
After the cooking time comes to an end,
the food is overheated at the edge but is
still not ready in the middle.
Next time set a lower power and a longer time. Stir liq-
uids halfway through, e.g. soup.
To get better results for rice use a flat, wide dish.
DEFROSTING
Always defrost roast with the fat side down.
Do not defrost covered meat because this may
cause cooking instead of defrosting.
Always defrost whole poultry breast side down.
COOKING
Always remove chilled meat and poultry from the
refrigerator at least 30 minutes before cooking.
Let the meat, poultry, fish and vegetables stay
covered after cooking.
Brush a little oil or melted butter over the fish.
All vegetables should be cooked at full microwave
power.
Add 30 - 45 ml of cold water for every 250 g of
vegetables.
Cut the fresh vegetables into even size pieces
before cooking. Cook all vegetables with a cover
on the container.
REHEATING
When you reheat packed ready meals always follow
the instruction written on the packaging.
