Cooking food
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 cookware.
Food should not be placed in layers on top of one
another.
Cook the food on its own in the microwave – always
use with a lid on the cookware. Place the cookware
directly on the turntable. If you do not have a suitable lid
for your cookware, use a plate or special microwave
foil.
This will help the food retain its flavour. This means that
you can use salt and seasonings sparingly.
After cooking, allow the food to stand for a further 2 to 5
minutes to allow the temperature to even out.
Always use an oven cloth or oven gloves when
removing cookware from the appliance.
Grilling:
Always grill on the wire rack with the cooking
compartment door closed and do not preheat.
Always place the wire rack on the turntable.
Combined microwave and grill:
Combi mode is especially suitable for bakes and
gratins.
Always place the cookware on the turntable and do not
cover the food.
Use a deep dish when roasting. This will help keep the
cooking compartment clean.
Use large shallow cookware for bakes and gratins.
Food takes longer to cook in narrow, deep containers
and browns more on top.
Check that your cookware fits in the cooking
compartment. It must not be too big, the turntable must
still be able to turn.
Always set the maximum cooking time. Check the food
after the shorter time specified.
Leave the meat to rest for another 5-10 minutes before
carving it. This allows the meat juices to be distributed
evenly so that they do not run out when the meat is
carved.
Bakes and gratins should be left to cook in the
appliance for a further 5 minutes after the appliance has
been switched off.
All the values given in the table are guidelines and can
vary depending on the properties of your food.
