5. TIPS

Placing food

Place the thicker parts of the food to be cooked towards the outside of the base and the thinner parts towards the inside. Make sure that the food is properly distributed, i.e. that no food is too close together or stuck together.

Setting the cooking time

Select a short time setting and, once cooking is complete, add more minutes if necessary. If you overheat food, it may burn and smoke.

Cooking food evenly

If you are cooking chicken, burgers or steaks, turn them over halfway through the cooking process. There are some foods that need to be stirred (from the outside to the inside) once or twice during the cooking process.

Do not remove the food from the microwave immediately after cooking is complete

After the cooking time has elapsed, do not remove the food from the microwave immediately. In this way, it will finish cooking thoroughly and cool gradually.

Knowing if the food has been cooked correctly

The colour and hardness of the food help to determine whether it is properly cooked. The following cases indicate good cooking:

• Steam comes out evenly from the food, not just from the edges.
• Bird parts are movable and not stiff.
• There is no trace of blood on meat or poultry pieces.
• Fish pieces can be cut with a fork.

Using a browning pan

When using a specific browning pan or a self-heating pan, always place a heat insulator underneath (e.g. a porcelain plate).

Microwave-safe plastic film

When cooking foods with a high fat content, do not let the cling film come into contact with the food to prevent it from melting.

ENGLISH

Microwave-safe plastic cookware

Some microwave-safe plastic cookware may not be suitable for cooking foods with a high fat or sugar content. In addition, it must always be ensured that the preheating time specified in the cookware's instruction manual is not exceeded.

Microwave-safe containers

Only use containers that are suitable for the microwave. In general, heat-resistant ceramic, glass or plastic ones are. Never use metal containers, as sparks may be produced. If you are in doubt as to whether a container is suitable for the microwave, please refer to the table below.

Container material	Microwave-safe	Grill function	Combination function	Comments
Heatproof ceramics	Yes	Yes	Yes	Never use ceramics decorated with metallic or enamelled elements. It is recommended to use ceramic, heat-resistant glass or plastic containers that can withstand temperatures above 120°C.
Heatproof plastic	Yes	No	No	Avoid using this type of container for long cooking times.
Heat-resistant glass	Yes	Yes	Yes
Plastic film	Yes	No	No	It must not be used for cooking meat, as excessive heat can damage the film.
Rack	No	Yes	Yes	The rack can only be used with the Grill and Combi functions.
Metal container	No	No	No	Do not put metal containers in the microwave. Metals hinder microwave penetration.
Lacquer	No	No	No	These materials are not very heat resistant. Not suitable for high temperature cooking.
Cannot be used for high-temperature cooking	No	No	No	These materials are not very heat resistant. Therefore, they are not suitable for high temperature cooking.
