Cooking with microwaves
Important tips!
•
Eggs with shells and whole eggs should not be
heated in microwave ovens as they may
explode.
•
Before heating or cooking foods with shells or
skin
(e.g., apples, tomatoes, potatoes,
sausages)
prick them with a fork
so that they
do not open up.
•
When foods are prepared with very little
humidity (e.g.
defrosting bread,
making
popcorn, etc.), the humidity evaporates very
fast. The appliance then functions with a
vacuum and the food may be carbonised. This
situation may cause damage to the appliance
and to the container being used. Therefore, the
oven should be set only for the necessary time
and the cooking process should be supervised.
•
It is not possible to heat large quantities of oil
(
fry
) in the microwave.
•
Do not heat liquids in airtight containers.
Explosion hazard!
•
Alcoholic drinks may not
be
heated to high
temperatures. Therefore, the oven should be
set only for the necessary time and the cooking
process should be supervised.
•
Do not heat any kind of explosive material or
liquid in the microwave.
•
Remove
precooked
foods
from
the
packaging,
because the latter is not always
heat-resistant. Follow the manufacturer’s
instructions.
•
If there are various different containers,
such as cups for example, place them
uniformly on the rotating plate.
•
Always heat baby bottles or
jars of baby food
without lids or teats. After heating, shake or stir
it well to ensure that the heat is uniformly
distributed. The temperature of the containers
is considerably lower than that of the heated
food. Check the temperature of the food before
giving it to the child, to avoid burns.
•
Plastic bags
should not be closed with
metal
clips,
but with plastic ones. The bag should be
perforated several times so that the steam may
come out easily.
•
When heating or cooking foods, ensure that
they reach a minimum temperature of
70°C
.
•
During the cooking process,
water vapour
may form on the glass window of the door and
may drip down after a time. This is a normal
situation and may even be significant if the
room temperature is low. This does not
represent a hazard for the safety of the
appliance. After cooking, clean the water
resulting from the condensation.
