4. Microwave cooking
4.1 Basics of microwave cooking
1. Arrange your food carefully. Place thick pieces at the outer areas of your
arrangement.
2. Consider the cooking times. Choose the shortest time available. If needed, add
some more cooking time later. Any food, which is cooked too long in a
microwave, can begin to fume or catch fire.
3. Cover food while it is cooking. Covering avoids splashes and enhances an even
cooking procedure.
4. Turn over your food once while cooking it. Food like chicken or hamburgers will
then cook faster. Larger pieces like roasts must be turned over at least once.
5. Rearrange food like meat-balls in the middle of the cooking time from the outer
areas to the inner ones (and inversely) and also turn them over.
6. If you use microwave-safe plastic wrap, it must not contact the food as the wrap
may melt.
7. Some microwave-safe plastic cookware might not be suitable for cooking food
with a high content of fat and sugar. Moreover, the preheating time specified in
the dish instruction manual must not be exceeded.
4.2 Suitable materials for microwave cooking
1. Use microwave-safe cookware made of heat-resistant ceramic, glass or plastic
only.
2. Do not use metal-made cookware or other metal-made items or plates with metal-
made ornaments. Microwave radiation cannot penetrate metal.
3. WARNING! Metal can generate sparks. RISK OF FIRE.
