Microwave
Preparing food in a microwave is ideal if time is of the
essence.
Place the cookware onto the wire rack. Always use
heat-resistant cookware that is suitable for use in
microwaves. Observe the notes on cookware suitable
for microwaves.

Slide the wire rack in at the indicated shelf position with
the imprint "Microwave" facing the appliance door and
the outer rail facing downwards.
Food which lies flat will cook more quickly than food
which is piled high. Arrange the food as flat as possible
in the cookware for this reason.
Cereal products foam a lot during cooking. For all
cereal products, such as rice, use tall cookware with a
lid.
This will help the food retain its flavour. This means that
you can use salt and seasonings sparingly.
If you cannot find any indicated settings for your food
quantity, you should extend or reduce the cooking time
according to the following basic rule: double the
quantity equates to roughly double the cooking time.
Stir or turn the food two to three times during this time.
After heating up the food, leave it to rest for two to three
minutes to compensate for the temperature difference.
The food transfers heat to the cookware. It can become
very hot when only using the microwave for preparation.
Shelf position
Slide the wire rack in at level 1 with the cookware on it.
Steaming fish in the microwave
You can also steam fish in the microwave.
To do so, use enclosed cookware that is suitable for
microwave use or use a plate or microwave film to
cover the dish. Observe the notes on cookware suitable
for microwaves.

This will help retain the flavour and means you can use
salt and seasonings sparingly. If cooking fish whole,
add one to three tablespoons of water or lemon juice.
