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.
Notes
Turn halfway through the cooking time
-
Cut vegetables into pieces of equal size;
Add 1 to 2 tbsp water per 100 g of vegetables;
Stir during cooking
Cut the potatoes into pieces of equal size;
Add 1 to 2 tbsp water for every 100 g;
Stir during cooking
Add double the amount of liquid
Stir the blancmange thoroughly 2 to 3 times
during cooking using an egg whisk.
-
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
Next time, set a shorter cooking time or select a lower microwave
power setting. Cover the food and add more liquid.
Set a longer time. Large quantities and food which is piled high
require longer times.
Stir it during the cooking time and next time, select a lower micro-
wave power setting and a longer cooking time.
Next time, select a lower microwave power setting. If you are
defrosting a large quantity, turn it several times.
Place the wire rack on the glass pan so that this catches the
■
meat juices.
Use tongs to turn the pieces of food you are grilling. If you
■
pierce the meat with a fork, the juices will run out and it will
become dry.
Dark meat, e.g. beef, browns more quickly than lighter-
■
coloured meat such as veal or pork. When grilling light-
coloured meat or fish fillets, these often only brown slightly on
the surface, although they are cooked and juicy on the inside.
