Do not use the appliance to cook eggs or
snails in their shells, because they can burst.
Pierce the yolk of fried egg before reheating
it.
Pierce food with skin or peel several times
before cooking.
Cut vegetables into similar-sized pieces.
After you turn off the appliance, take the food
out and let it stand for a few minutes to allow
the heat distribute evenly.
Microwave defrosting
Put the frozen, unwrapped food on a small
upturned plate with a container below it, or on
a defrosting rack or plastic sieve so that the
defrosting liquid can leak out.
Remove defrosted pieces subsequently.
To cook fruit and vegetables without
defrosting them first, you can use a higher
microwave power.
