• Always mix or stir food several times during cooking. This
not only ensures even temperature distribution but also
reduces cooking time.
• Turn food over during cooking. This is especially important
for meat, whether in large pieces (roasts, whole chickens,
etc.) or small pieces (chicken breasts, casseroles, etc.).
• Pierce foods with skins, shells or peel (e.g. apples, po-
tatoes, tomatoes, frankfurters, fish, etc.) with a fork at
several points to allow steam to escape from inside. This
prevents these foods from exploding inside the oven.
• If you are cooking a number of portions of the same type of
food (e.g. boiled potatoes), arrange the portions in a ring
around the outside of an ovenproof dish to ensure they
cook evenly.
• The lower the temperature at which food is placed in the
oven, the longer the cooking time required.
Food placed in the oven at room temperature will cook
sooner than food coming directly from the refrigerator.
• Always place dishes and containers in the middle of the
turntable.
• It is perfectly normal for condensation to form inside the
oven and near the air outlet vents.
To reduce this, cover the food with clear film, greaseproof
paper, glass covers or simply an upturned plate.
Foods with a high water content (e.g. greens and vegeta-
bles) cook better when covered.
Covering food also helps keep the inside of the oven clean.
Use clear film suitable for microwave cooking.
• Do not microwave cook eggs in their shells. Pressure will
build up inside and can cause the egg to explode, even af-
ter cooking has finished.
Do not heat precooked eggs unless scrambled.
• Always open air-tight or sealed containers before placing
them in the oven, otherwise pressure will build up inside
and may cause them to swell and explode even after cook-
ing has finished.
