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 3 modes for Combi Cooking.
