Cooking food
Notes
■
Food which lies flat will cook more quickly than food which is
piled high. You should therefore distribute the food so that it is
as flat as possible in the ovenware. Different foodstuffs should
not be placed in layers on top of one another.
■
Place the food directly on the turntable.
■
Cook the food in ovenware with a lid. If you do not have a
suitable lid for your ovenware, use a plate or special microwave
foil.
■
This will help the food retain its own distinct taste, so it will
require less seasoning.
■
After cooking, allow the food to stand for a further 2 to 5
minutes so that it can achieve an even temperature.
■
Always use an oven cloth or oven gloves when removing plates
from the oven.
