TIPS FOR FOOD PREPARATION

When preparing food in the appliance, the following basic rules apply:

Cooking time

Smaller quantities of food cook more rapidly than large quantities. If the amount of

food is doubled, the preparation time must correspondingly be more than doubled.

Small pieces of meat, small fish and chopped vegetables cook more quickly than

large pieces. For the same reason, it is recommended that if, for example, you wish
to make goulash, stews or similar, the meat be cut into pieces no bigger than 2 x 2
cm.

The compactness of the food is also very important for the cooking time. The more
compact the food is, the longer it takes to cook.
•

Whole joints require a longer cooking time than stewed dishes.

•

A joint requires a longer time than a dish using minced meat.

The colder the food, the longer the cooking time needs to be. Food at room
temperature will therefore cook faster than food from a fridge or freezer.

When cooking vegetables, the cooking time depends on the freshness of the

vegetables. Therefore, check the condition of the vegetables, and add or deduct a
little time accordingly.

The short cooking time when using a microwave oven means that the food does not
overcook.
•

If required, a little water can be added.

•

When cooking fish and vegetables, you only need to use the minimum of water.

Microwave power

The choice of power setting depends on the condition of the food to be cooked.
In most cases, the food is cooked on full power.
•

Full power is used, among other things, for reheating food quickly, boiling water

or similar.

• Low power is principally used to defrost food and prepare dishes containing

cheese, milk or egg. (Whole eggs in their shell cannot be cooked in a microwave

oven, as there is a risk of the eggs exploding.) In addition, lower power settings

are also used to finish off and to retain the excellent aroma of a dish.

General information on cooking

• If the entire meal is to be cooked in the appliance, it is recommended that you

start with the most compact foods, such as potatoes. Once these are ready,
cover them while the rest of the food cooks.

•

Most food should be covered. A close-fitting cover retains the steam and

moisture, which shortens the cooking time in the appliance. This is particularly

the case when cooking vegetables, fish dishes and casseroles. Covering food

also distributes the heat better, thus ensuring rapid and excellent results.

• In order to achieve the best possible results, it is important to position the food

correctly, as the microwave rays are most powerful at the centre of the oven
compartment. If, for example, you are baking potatoes, you should position
them along the edge of the glass turntable so that they cook evenly.

• In order to cook compact dishes such as meat and poultry evenly, it is important

to turn the pieces of meat a few times.
