Congratulations on acquiring your new microwave oven, which from now on will make your kitchen chores

considerably easier.

You will be pleasantly surprised by the kinds of things you can do with a microwave. Not only can you use it for

rapid defrosting or heating up of food, you can also prepare whole meals.

In our test kitchen our microwave team has gathered together a selection of the most delicious international

recipes which are quick and simple to prepare.

Be inspired by the recipes we have included and prepare your own favourite dishes in your microwave oven.

There are so many advantages to having a microwave oven which we are sure you will find exciting:

● Food can be prepared directly in the serving dishes, leaving less to wash up.

● Shorter cooking times and the use of little water and fat ensure that many vitamins, minerals and

characteristic flavours are preserved.

We advise you to read the cookery book guide and operating instructions carefully.

You will then easily understand how to use your oven.

Enjoy using your microwave oven and trying out the delicious recipes.

Microwaves are generated in the microwave oven by

a magnetron and cause the water molecules in the

and the browning dish. Be careful to adhere exactly to the

pre-heating time given in the manufacturer’s instructions.

Excessive pre-heating can damage the turntable and the

turntable stand or can trigger the safety-device which will

switch off the oven.

METAL Generally speaking, metal should not be used, since

microwaves do not pass through metal and therefore

cannot reach the food. There are, however, exceptions:

small strips of aluminium foil may be used to cover certain

parts of the food, so that these do not thaw too quickly or

begin to cook (e.g. chicken wings).Small metal skewers

and aluminium containers (e.g. of ready- cooked meals)

can be used. They must, however, be small in relation to

the food, e.g. aluminium containers must be at least

/4 filled with food. It is recommended that you transfer

the food into a dish suitable for use in the microwave.

When using aluminium containers or other metal utensils

there must be a gap of approx. 2 cms between them and

the walls of the cooking area, otherwise the walls could

be damaged by possible arcing.

NO UTENSIL SHOULD HAVE A METAL OVERLAY -

UTENSIL SUITABILITY TEST If you are not sure whether your utensil is

suitable for use in your microwave oven,

carry out the following test: Place the

utensil into the oven. Place a glass container

filled with 150 ml of water on or next to the utensil.

Switch on the oven at 800 W power for 1 to 2 minutes.

If the utensil stays cool or just warm to the touch, it is

suitable. Do not use this test on a plastic utensil. It could

TIME SETTINGS In general the thawing, heating and cooking times are

significantly shorter than when using a conventional

cooker or oven. For this reason you should adhere to

the recommended times given in this cookery book.

It is better to set the times too short, rather than too

long. Test the food after it has been cooked. It is better

to have to cook something for a little longer than to

GLASS AND CERAMIC GLASS Heat-resistant glass utensils are very

suitable. The cooking process can be

observed from all sides. They must not,

however, contain any metal (e.g. lead

crystal), nor have a metallic overlay (e.g.

gold edge, cobalt blue finish).

CERAMICS Generally very suitable. Ceramics must be glazed,

since with unglazed ceramics moisture can get into the

ceramic. Moisture causes the material to heat up and

may make it shatter. If you are not certain whether your

utensil is suitable for the microwave, carry out the utensil

PORCELAIN Very suitable. Ensure that the porcelain does not have a

gold or silver overlay and that it does not contain any

PLASTIC AND PAPER UTENSILS Heat resistant plastic utensils which are suitable for use in

the microwave can be used to thaw, heat and cook food.

Follow the manufacturer’s recommendations.

Heat-resistant paper made for use in a microwave

oven is also suitable. Follow the manufacturer’s

MICROWAVE FOIL This, or heat-resistant foil, is very suitable for covering

or wrapping. Please follow the manufacturer’s

ROASTING BAGS Can be used in a microwave oven. Metal clips are not

suitable for fastening them since the roasting bag foil

might melt. Fasten the roasting bag with string and pierce

it several times with a fork. Non heat-resistant food wraps

are not recommended for use in a microwave oven.

BROWNING DISH A special microwave dish made from ceramic glass with

metal alloy base, which allows food to be browned.

When using the browning dish a suitable insulator, e.g.

a porcelain plate, must be placed between the turntable

upon the initial temperature of the food. Deep-frozen

food and food stored in a refrigerator, for example,

requires longer than food which has been stored at

For heating and cooking, normal storage temperatures

are assumed (refrigerator temperature approx. 5°C,

room temperature approx. 20°C). For thawing the

temperature of the deep freeze is assumed to be

COOKING TIMES All the times given in this cookery book are guidelines,

which can be varied according to the initial temperature,

weight and condition of the food (water or fat content

SALT, SPICES AND HERBS Food cooked in your microwave retains its individual

flavour better than it does when conventional

preparation methods are used. For this reason you

should use salt very sparingly and

normally add it only after cooking. Salt absorbs liquid

and dries out the outer layer of the food. Herbs and

spices can be used as normal.

ADDITION OF WATER Vegetables and other foods with a high water content

can be cooked in their own juice or with the addition

of a little water. This ensures that many vitamins and

minerals are preserved.

FOOD IN SKINS OR SHELLS Food such as sausages, chickens, chicken legs, baked

potatoes, tomatoes, apples, egg yolks or such like

should be pricked or pierced with a fork or small

wooden skewer. This will enable the steam which forms

to dissipate without splitting the skin or shell.

LARGE AND SMALL QUANTITIES Microwave times are directly dependent upon the

amount of food which you would like to thaw, heat or

cook. This means that small portions cook more quickly

TWICE THE AMOUNT = ALMOST TWICE THE TIME HALF THE AMOUNT = HALF THE TIME DEEP AND SHALLOW CONTAINERS Both containers have the same capacity, but the

cooking time is longer for the deeper one. You should

therefore choose as flat a container as possible with

a large surface area. Only use deep containers for

dishes where there is a danger of

overcooking, e.g. for noodles, rice, milk etc.

ROUND AND OVAL CONTAINERS Food cooks more evenly in round or oval containers

than in containers with corners, since the microwave

energy concentrates in the corners and the food in

these areas could become overcooked.

COVERING Covering the food retains the moisture within it and

shortens the cooking time. Use a lid, microwave foil or

a cover. Foods which are to be crispy, e.g. roasts or

chickens, should not be covered.

As a general rule, whatever would be covered in

a conventional oven should also be covered in a

microwave oven. Whatever would be uncovered in an

ordinary oven can also be left uncovered in

TURNING Medium-sized items, such as hamburgers and steaks,

should be turned over once during cooking, in order

to shorten the cooking process. Large items, such as

roasts and chickens, must be turned, since the upper

side receives more microwave energy and could dry

STANDING TIME Keeping to the standing time is one of the most

important rules with microwaves. Almost all foods,

which are thawed, heated or cooked in the microwave,

require a certain amount of time to stand, during which

temperature equalisation takes place and the moisture

in the food is evenly distributed.

R-231(IN)W [07 EN].indd 16R-231(IN)W [07 EN].indd 16 9/9/2013 1:34:42 PM9/9/2013 1:34:42 PMTIPS AND ADVICE BROWNING AGENTS After more than 15 minutes cooking time food acquires

a brownness, although this is not comparable to the

deep brownness and crispness obtained through

conventional cooking. In order to obtain an appetising

brown colour you can use browning agents. For the

most part they simultaneously act as seasoning agents.

● Ready-prepared meals in aluminium containers

should be removed from the aluminium container

and heated on a plate or in a dish.

● Remove the lids from firmly closed containers.

● Food should be covered with microwave foil, a plate

or cover (obtainable from stores), so that the surface

does not dry out. Drinks need not be covered.

● When boiling liquids such as water, coffee, tea or

milk, place a glass stirrer in the container.

● If possible, stir large quantities from time to time, to

ensure that the temperature is evenly distributed.

● The times are for food at a room temperature of

20°C. The heating time for food stored in a

refrigerator should be increased slightly.

● After heating allow the food to stand for 1-2 minutes,

so that the temperature inside the food can be

evenly distributed (standing time).

● The times given are guidelines, which can be varied

according to the initial temperature, weight, water

content, fat content or the result which you wish to

THAWING Your microwave is ideal for thawing. Thawing times

are usually considerably shorter than in traditional

Here are a few tips. Take the frozen item out of its

packaging and place on a plate for thawing.

BOXES AND CONTAINERS Boxes and containers suitable for microwaves are

particularly good for thawing and heating food, since

they can withstand temperatures in a deep freeze

(down to approx. –40°C) as well as being heat-resistant

(up to approx. 220°C). You can therefore use the

same container to thaw, heat and even cook the food,

without having to transfer it.

COVERING Cover thin parts with small strips of aluminium foil

before thawing. Thawed or warm parts should likewise

be covered with aluminium strips during thawing.

This stops the thin parts becoming too hot while thicker

parts are still frozen.

CORRECT SETTING It is better to choose a setting which is too low rather

than one which is too high. By so doing you will ensure

that the food thaws evenly.

If the microwave setting is too high, the surface of the

food will already have begun to cook while the inside

substances you might use for browning and some of the

uses to which you might put them.

to time. As early as possible, separate parts which are

stuck together and rearrange them.

SMALL AMOUNTS Thaw more quickly and evenly than larger ones. We

recommend that you freeze portions which are as small

as possible. By so doing you will be able to prepare

whole menus quickly and easily.

FOODS REQUIRING CAREFUL HANDLING Foods such as gateaux, cream, cheese and bread

should only be partially thawed and then left to thaw

completely at room temperature. By so doing you

will avoid the outer areas becoming too hot while the

inside is still frozen.

STANDING TIME This is particularly important after thawing food, as

the thawing process continues during this period. In

the thawing table you will find the standing times for

various foods. Thick, dense foods require a longer

standing time than thinner foods or food of a porous

nature. If the food has not thawed sufficiently, you

may continue thawing it in the microwave oven or

lengthen the standing time accordingly. At the end of

the standing time you should process the food as soon

as possible and not re-freeze it.

COOKING FRESH VEGETABLES ● When buying vegetables try to ensure that, as far as possible, they are of similar size. This is

particularly important when you want to cook the

vegetables whole (e.g. boiled potatoes). ● Wash the vegetables before preparing them, clean them and only then weigh the required quantity for

the recipe and chop them up. ● Season them as you would normally, but as a rule only add salt after cooking.

● Add about 5 tbsps of water for 500 g of vegetables.

Vegetables which are high in fibre require a little

more water. You will find information about this in

the table. ● Vegetables are usually cooked in a dish with a lid. Those with a high moisture content, e.g. onions or

boiled potatoes, can be cooked in microwave foil

without adding water. ● After half the cooking time has elapsed vegetables should be stirred or turned over. ● After cooking allow the vegetables to stand for approx. 2 minutes, so that the temperature disperses

evenly (standing time). ● The cooking times given are guidelines and depend upon the weight, initial temperature and condition

of the type of vegetable in question. The fresher the

vegetables, the shorter the cooking times.

COOKING MEAT, FISH AND POULTRY ● When buying food items, try to ensure that, as far as possible, they are of similar size. This will ensure

that they are cooked properly. ● Before preparation wash meat, fish and poultry thoroughly under cold running water and pat them

dry with kitchen paper. Then continue as normal. ● Beef should be well hung and have little gristle.● Even though the pieces may be of a similar size, cooking results may vary. This is due, amongst other

things, to the kind of food, variations in the fat and

moisture content as well as the temperature before

cooking. ● After the food has been cooking for 15 minutes it acquires a natural brownness, which may be

enhanced by the use of a browning agent. If, in

addition, you would like the surface to be crisp

you should either use the browning dish or sear the

food on your cooker and finish cooking it in your

microwave. By doing this you will simultaneously

obtain a brown base for making a sauce. ● Turn large pieces of meat, fish or poultry half way through the cooking time, so that they are cooked

evenly from all sides. ● After cooking cover roasts with aluminium foil and allow them to stand for approx. 10 minutes

(standing time). During this period the roast carries

on cooking and the liquid is evenly distributed, so

that when it is carved a minimum amount of juice is

THAWING AND COOKING Deep-frozen dishes can be thawed and cooked at

the same time in one process in your microwave. You

will find some examples in the table. Do take note,

however, of the general advice given on “heating”

and “thawing” food. Please refer to the manufacturer’s

instructions on the packaging when preparing deep-

frozen dishes. These usually contain precise cooking

times and offer advice on preparation.

microwave, you should take note of the following:

Shorten cooking times by a third to a half. Follow the

example of the recipes in this cookery book.

Foods which have a high moisture content such as

meat, fish, poultry, vegetables, fruit, stews and soups

can be prepared in your microwave without any

difficulty. Foods which have little moisture, such as

platters of food, should have the surface moistened

prior to heating or cooking.

The amount of liquid to be added to raw foods, which

are to be braised, should be reduced to about two

thirds of the quantity in the original recipe. If necessary,

add more liquid during cooking.

The amount of fat to be added can be reduced

considerably. A small amount of butter, margarine or

oil is sufficient to flavour food. For this reason your

microwave is excellent for preparing low-fat foods as
