To get better results for rice use a flat, wide dish.

Always defrost roast with the fat side down. Do not defrost covered meat because this may cause cooking instead of defrosting. Always defrost whole poultry breast side down.

Cut the fresh vegetables into even size pieces before cooking. Cook all vegetables with a cover on the container.

When you reheat packed ready meals always follow the instruction written on the packaging.

Grill flat food items in the middle of the grill rack. Turn the food over halfway through the set time and continue grilling. Always remove chilled meat and poultry from the refrigerator at least 30 minutes before cooking.

Let the meat, poultry, fish and vegetables stay covered after cooking. Use the Combi Cooking to keep the crispness of certain foods. Brush a little oil or melted butter over the fish. At the half of the cooking time, turn over the foods then continue. All vegetables should be cooked at full microwave power. There are 2 modes for Combi Cooking. Each mode combines the microwave and the grill functions at different time periods and power levels. Add 30 - 45 ml of cold water for every 250 g of vegetables.
