Refer to Safety chapters.

12.1 Cooking recommendations

i

The temperature and cooking times in the tables are guidelines only. They depend on the recipes and the quality and quantity of the ingredients used.

Your oven may bake or roast differently to the oven you had before. The hints below show recommended settings for temperature, cooking time and shelf position for specific types of the food.

If you cannot find the settings for a special recipe, look for the similar one.

12.2 Microwave recommendations

PROGRESS PCM43103X - Microwave recommendations - 1

Let's cook!

Place the food on the microwave bottom glass plate on the bottom of the cavity.

Place the food on a plate on the bottom of the cavity.

Turn or stir the food halfway through the defrosting and cooking time.

Stir liquid dishes from time to time.

Stir the food before serving.

Cover the food for cooking and reheating.

Put the spoon to the bottle or glass when heating drinks to ensure better heat distribution.

Put the food into the oven without packaging. The packaged ready meals can be put into the oven only when the packaging is microwave safe (check information on the packaging).

PROGRESS PCM43103X - Let's cook! - 1

Microwave cooking

Cook food covered. If you want to keep a crust cook food without a cover.

Do not overcook the dishes by setting the power and time too high. The food can dry out, burn or cause fire.

Do not use the oven 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 oven, take the food out and let it stand for a few minutes to allow the heat distribute evenly.

PROGRESS PCM43103X - Microwave cooking - 1

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.

12.4 Baking

For the first baking, use the lower temperature.

You can extend the baking time by 10 – 15 minutes if you bake cakes on more than one shelf position.

Cakes and pastries at different heights do not always brown equally. There is no need to

change the temperature setting if an unequal browning occurs. The differences equalize during baking.

Trays in the oven can distort during baking. When the trays are cold again, the distortions disappear.

12.5 Tips on baking

Baking results Possible cause Remedy

The bottom of the cake is not baked sufficiently.The shelf position is incorrect. Put the cake on a lower shelf.
Baking results Possible cause Remedy
The cake sinks and becomes soggy or streaky.The oven temperature is too high.Next time set slightly lower oven temperature.
The oven temperature is too high and the baking time is too short.Next time set a longer baking time and lower oven temperature.
The cake is too dry. The oven temperature is too low. Next time set higher oven temperature.
The cake bakes unevenly. The oven temperature is too high and the baking time is too short.Next time set a longer baking time and lower oven temperature.
