Cooking – the easy way ...
• When cooking food, always use tablewear with
a lid suitable for microwave cookery (unless stated
otherwise).
• The cooking details refer to food at refrigerator
temperature. First of all, thaw foodstuffs that are to
be cooked.
Note:
The defrosting time for deep-frozen vegetables (-18°C,
approx. 100-1000 g) can vary between 5 and
15 minutes. Follow the instructions on the packet
if in doubt. Prepare vegetables by washing and
cleaning them before cooking.
Preparation instructions are important
• Please observe the various preparation instruc-
tions absolutely. Whilst the addition of liquid is
required (usually 1-2 tblsp. per 100g vegetables)
for some foods, no liquid is required e.g. for
cucumbers, Spanish onions, mushrooms and
spinach. Other foods must be stirred at least
once during cooking.
Observe stand times
• The so-called "stand time" is particularly important,
as it is in thawing. The temperature equalisation
and the resulting after-cooking should always
amount to 5 - 10 minutes.
During this stand time, leave the food in the switched
off microwave or outside the appliance.
• Ater this stand time you can season vegetables
or add a little butter if desired.
• When cooking food in bowls or deep-frozen
convenience foods, pay attention to the preparation
times for cooking in microwave ovens stated on
the packaging.
• The details in the following chart are intended
as reference values only.
