Microwave tips
Grilling
Notes
■ All the values given are guidelines and can vary
depending on the properties of your food.
■ Rinse meat in cold water and dab it dry with kitchen
towel. Do not add salt to the meat until it has been
grilled.
■ Always close the door when grilling on the wire rack
and do not preheat.
■ Place the wire rack on the glass tray so that this
catches the meat juices.
■ Use tongs to turn the pieces of food you are grilling.
If you pierce the meat with a fork, the juices will run
out and it will become dry.
■ Dark meat, such as beef, browns more quickly than
lighter-coloured meat, such as veal or pork. When
grilling light-coloured meat or fish fillets, these often
only brown slightly on the surface, although they are
cooked and juicy on the inside.
Combined grill and microwave
Notes
■ Use the wire rack and place the cookware on it.
■ Use a deep dish when roasting. This will help keep
the cooking compartment clean.
■ Use large shallow cookware for bakes and gratins.
Food takes longer to cook in narrow, deep
containers and browns more on top.
■ Check that your cookware fits in the cooking
compartment. It should not be too big.
■ Leave the meat to rest for another 5-10 minutes
before carving it. This allows the meat juices to be
distributed evenly so that they do not run out when
the meat is carved.
■ Bakes and gratins should be left to cook in the
appliance for a further 5 minutes after the appliance
has been switched off.
■ Always set the maximum cooking time. Check the
food after the shorter time specified.

Dish Amount Microwave output in watts,
time in minutes
Note
You cannot find any information about the settings for the quantity of
food you have prepared.
Lengthen or shorten the cooking time according to the following rule of
thumb: Double the amount = double the time, half the amount = half the time
The food has become too dry. Next time, set a shorter cooking time or select a lower microwave power set-
ting. Cover the food and add more liquid.
The time has elapsed but the food is not defrosted, hot or cooked. Set a longer time. Large quantities and food which is piled high require longer
times.
Time has elapsed but the food is overheated at the edge but not done
in the middle.
Stir it during the cooking time and next time, select a lower microwave power
setting and a longer cooking time.
After defrosting, the poultry or meat is defrosted on the outside but
not defrosted in the middle.
Next time, select a lower microwave output setting. Turn large amounts of
poultry or meat several times.
