Defrosting, heating up or cooking
frozen food
Take ready meals out of the packaging. They will heat
up more quickly and evenly in microwavable cookware.
The different components of the meal may not require
the same amount of time to heat up.
Food that lies flat will cook more quickly than food
that is piled high. You should therefore distribute the
food so that it is as flat as possible in the cookware.
Food should not be placed in layers on top of one
another.
Always cover the food. If you do not have a suitable
cover for your container, use a plate or special
microwave foil.
Stir or turn the food 2 or 3 times during cooking.
After heating, allow the food to stand for an additional
2 to 5 minutes to allow the temperature to even out.
This will help the food retain its own distinct taste, so
it will require less seasoning.
Note:
Place the cookware on the cooking
compartment floor.
