22.5 Microwave cooking
If you use the microwave mode, you can reduce the
cooking time considerably.
General information
¡ When using the microwave mode, the cooking time
is determined based on the total weight.
If you want to cook a quantity that differs from the
specified quantity, the general rule is Double the
quantity requires just under double the cooking
time.
¡ The food transfers heat to the cookware. The cook-
ware can become very hot.
¡ In the main part of the instruction manual, you will
find information on how to configure the microwave
and microwave combination oven settings.

Cooking, braising or steaming using the
microwave mode
¡ Use microwave-safe cookware with a lid. Alternat-
ively, you can use a plate or special microwaveable
film to cover the dish.
¡ For cereal products, e.g. rice, use deep cookware
with a lid. Cereal products foam a lot during cook-
ing. Add liquid in accordance with the instructions
and information provided in the recommended set-
tings tables.
¡ Do not wash or dry food. Add 1-3 tablespoons of
water or lemon juice to the food.
¡ Spread the food out so that as much of it as pos-
sible is in contact with the bottom of the cookware.
Food that is in contact with the bottom will cook
more quickly than food that is piled up.
¡ Use salt and seasoning sparingly. When cooking
food using the microwave mode, most of the food's
natural flavour will be retained.
¡ Turn or stir the food 2-3times during cooking.
¡ After cooking, leave the food to rest for 2-3minutes.
