read the chapter "Thawing by weight“.
Cooking – the easy way …
•
When cooking food, always use
cookware with a lid suitable for
microwave cookery (unless stated
otherwise).
The cooking details refer to food at
refrigerator temperature. First of all,
thaw foodstuffs that are to be
cooked.
Note:
The thawing time for deep-
frozen vegetables (-18°C, approx.
100-1000 g) can vary between 5 and
15 minutes. If in doubt, follow the
instructions on the packet.
Prepare vegetables by washing and
cleaning them before cooking.
Type of food

Weight / quantity

Defrosting time

Standing time
5 - 10 Min.
Notes/tips
thaw the strawberries
or other fruit in a cove-
red bowl.After half the
time has elapsed,
carefully stir them
once.
Preparation instructions are important
•
Please observe the various prepara-
tion instructions absolutely.
Whilst the addition of liquid is required
(usually 1-2 tblsp. per 100g vegetables)
for some foods, no liquid is required
e.g. for cucumbers, Spanish onions,
mushrooms and spinach. Other foods
must be stirred at least once during
cooking.
Observe stand times
•
The so-called "stand time" is particularly
important, as it is in thawing.
The temperature equalisation and
the resulting after-cooking should
always amount to 5 - 10 minutes.
•
During this stand time, leave the
food in the switched off microwave
or outside the appliance.
•
After this stand time you can season
vegetables or add a little butter if
desired.
•
When cooking food in bowls or
deep-frozen convenience foods, pay
attention to the preparation times
for cooking in microwave ovens sta-
ted on the packaging.
•
