17.1 Principles of microwave cooking

The power levels and time required for cooking / warming up food items depends on the starting time, the quantity and the type and consistency of the food, etc. Use the shortest indicated cooking time and extend the cooking procedure as necessary. Arrange the food carefully. Position the thickest areas on the external edge of the bowl. Cover the food while it is cooking. Lids protect against spatters and also contribute towards cooking/warming up the food evenly. During warming, the food should be turned, rearranged or stirred repeatedly, in order for the temperature to be distributed evenly. Any existing germs in the food are only killed off if the temperature is sufficiently high enough (> 70°C) and if the time used is sufficiently long enough (> 10 min).48 Foods with a firm skin or shell, such as tomatoes, sausages, potatoes in the skin, eggplants must be pierced or punctured repeatedly so that any developing steam can escape and so that the food does not burst. Eggs without their shell may only be cooked in the microwave if the skin of the egg yoke has been pierced repeatedly first. Otherwise, the egg yoke can squirt out with excessive pressure after cooking. Rearrange layers of foods such as meat balls from top to the bottom and from the middle to the outside edge.

17.2 Operating modes:

The unit is to be operated in various operating modes. The following list shows the operating modes that are possible with the device: “Microwave” mode This operating mode is suitable for the normal reheating of food. Defrost This operating mode is suitable for defrosting frozen food. You can set desired time or weight.

17.3 Information on microwave cookware
