Cooking and heating up in the microwave 6
General notes
• To arrange food so that it cooks properly place the food with the largest
pieces towards the outer edge.
• Note the exact cooking or heating times.
• Choose the shortest available cooking or heating time and extend it if
necessary.
Caution!
Overcooked food can start to smoke or even catch fire.
• Cover food during cooking or heating with a cover that is suitable for the
microwave. Covering the food helps avoid splashes; furthermore the food is
more evenly cooked.
• Foods such as chicken pieces or hamburgers should be turned once during
cooking to speed up cooking. Larger pieces such as joints or roasting
chickens must be turn at least once.
• It is also important to reposition food, e.g. with meatballs: After half of the
cooking time is over the food should be repositioned from top to bottom
and from the middle to the outside.
Microwave-suitable materials
You can buy special dishes and accessories for your microwave. Look for
markings such as "Microwave-suitable" or "For the microwave". You can also use
your existing dishes – if the material is suitable.
Suitable materials
• Porcelain, glass ceramic and heat-proof glass
• Plastics which are heat-proof and microwave-suitable (note: plastics may
become discoloured by foods or become warped by the heat)
• Baking paper
Caution!
Do not use porcelain, ceramic or plastic containers in grill or grill combi
mode. Cling film should also not be used. Due to the very high temperatures
the materials could break, warp or even melt.
