4 Expert Cooking Guide
Here you will find a selection of recipes and
the ideal settings for them. We will show
you which type of heating and which
temperature or microwave power setting is
best for your meal.
You can find information about suitable
accessories and the height at which they
should be inserted. There are also tips
about ovenware and preparation methods.
4.1 Defrosting, heating up and
cooking with the microwave
The following tables provide you with
numerous options and settings for the
microwave.
The times specified in the tables are only
guidelines. They may vary according to the
ovenware used, the quality, temperature
and consistency of the food.
Time ranges are often specified in the
tables. Set the shortest time first and then
extend the time if necessary.
It may be that you have different quantities from
those specified in the tables. A rule of thumb
can be applied: Double amount - just under
double the cooking time, half amount - half the
cooking time.
Defrosting
• The values in the table always
apply to food placed into the
cooking compartment when it is
cold and empty. Only preheat
the appliance if the table
specifies that you should do so.
Before using the appliance,
remove all accessories from the
cooking compartment that you
will not be using.
• Do not line the accessories with
greaseproof paper until after
they have been preheated.
• The times specified in the tables
are only guidelines. They will
depend on the quality and
composition of the food.
• Use the accessories supplied.
Additional accessories may be
obtained from specialist retailers
or from the after-sales service.
• Always use an oven cloth or
oven gloves when taking
accessories or ovenware out of
the cooking compartment.
• Place the frozen food in an open
container on the lower wire
rack.
• Delicate parts such as the legs
and wings of chicken or fatty
outer layers of roasts can be
covered with small pieces of
aluminium foil. The foil must not
touch the cooking compartment
walls. You can remove the foil
half way through the defrosting
time.
• Turn or stir the food once or
twice during the defrosting time.
Large pieces of food should be
turned several times. When
turning, remove any liquid that
has resulted from defrosting.
• Place the food directly on the
turntable.
