Cooking food
Notes
■ 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.
■ Cook the food in ovenware with a lid. If you do not
have a suitable lid for your ovenware, use a plate or
special microwave foil.
■ This will help the food retain its own distinct taste, so
it will require less seasoning.
■ After cooking, 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.
Microwave popcorn
Notes
■ Use heat-resistant, shallow glass cookware, e.g. the
lid of an ovenproof dish, a glass plate or a glass dish
(Pyrex)
■ Always place cookware on the wire rack.
■ Do not use porcelain or deep dishes.
■ Use the settings indicated in the table. The time may
need to be adjusted, depending on the product and
quantity in question.
■ To prevent the popcorn from burning, briefly take the
popcorn bag out of the oven after 1 minute
30 seconds and shake it. Take care as the bag will
be hot!
:Warning – Risk of scalding!
■ Open the popcorn bag carefully as hot steam may
be released.
■ Never set the microwave to full power.

You cannot find any information about the settings for the quantity of
food you have prepared.
Increase or reduce the cooking times using the following rule of thumb:
Double the amount = almost double the cooking time
Half the amount = half the cooking 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.
When the time has elapsed, the food is not defrosted, hot or cooked. Set a longer time. Large quantities and food which is piled high require
longer times.
When the time has elapsed, 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 power setting. If you are defrosting a
large quantity, turn it several times.
