Defrosting, heating up or cooking frozen
food
Take ready meals out of the packaging. They will heat
up more quickly and evenly in microwaveable
cookware. The different components of the meal may
not require the same amount of time to heat up.
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 cookware.
Food should not be placed in layers on top of one
another.
Always cover the food. If you do not have a suitable lid
for your cookware, 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 a further 2 to 5
minutes to allow the temperature to even out.
This will help the food retain its own distinct taste, which
means it will require less seasoning.
Note:
Place the ovenware on the cooking compartment
floor.
Heating
:
Warning
Risk of scalding!
There is a possibility of delayed boiling when a liquid is
heated. This means that the liquid reaches boiling
temperature without the usual steam bubbles rising to
the surface. Even if the container only vibrates a little,
the hot liquid may suddenly boil over and spatter. When
heating, always place a spoon in the container. This will
prevent delayed boiling.
Caution!
Creation of sparks: Metal – e.g. a spoon in a glass –
must be kept at least 2 cm from the cooking
compartment walls and the inside of the door. Sparks
can irreparably damage the glass on the inside of the
door.
