Defrosting, heating up or cooking frozen food
Notes
■ Take ready meals out of the packaging. They will heat up
more quickly and evenly in microwaveable ovenware. 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 ovenware. Different foodstuffs
should not be placed in layers on top of one another.
■ Always cover the food. If you do not have a suitable cover for
your ovenware, 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 so that it can achieve an even temperature.
■ Always use an oven cloth or oven gloves when removing
plates from the oven.
■ This will help the food retain its own distinct taste, so it will
require less seasoning.
Note: Place the ovenware on the cooking compartment floor.
Heating food
: 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 moves a little, the hot liquid can suddenly boil
over and spatter. When heating liquids, always place a spoon in
the container. This will prevent delayed boiling.
Caution!
Metal e.g. a spoon in a glass must be kept at least 2 cm
from the oven walls and the inside of the door. Sparks could
irreparably damage the glass on the inside of the door.
