4. TIPS

The following factors may affect the cooking result:

Food distribution

Place the thicker areas towards the outside of the dish and the thinner areas towards the centre, distributing them evenly. Do not overlap them if possible.

Setting the cooking time

Start cooking with a short time, evaluate later and adjust as necessary. Overcooking can cause smoke and burns.

Uniform cooking

Foods such as chicken, hamburgers or steak should be turned once during cooking. Depending on the type of food, if applicable, remove it from the outside to the centre of the dish once or twice during cooking.

Allow idle time

After the cooking time is over, leave the food in the microwave for an adequate time to complete its cooking cycle and cool gradually.

Check whether the food is ready

The colour and firmness of food help to determine whether it is properly cooked. This includes:

• Steam coming from all parts of the food, not only from the edges.
• Poultry joints move easily.
• Pigs or poultry show no signs of blood.
• Fish is opaque and can be easily cut with a fork.

Browning dish

When using a browning pan or self-heating pan, always place a heat-resistant insulator, such as a porcelain plate, underneath to prevent damage to the turntable and rotating ring.

Microwave-safe plastic film

When cooking foods with high fat content, do not allow plastic film to come into contact with the food, as it may melt.

Microwave-safe plastic utensils

Some microwave-safe plastic utensils may not be suitable for cooking foods with high fat and sugar content. Furthermore, the preheating time specified in the dish's instruction manual must not be exceeded.

MICROWAVE-SAFE CONTAINERS

It is strongly recommended to use suitable and safe containers for microwave cooking. In general, heat-resistant ceramic, glass or plastic containers are suitable for microwave cooking. Never use metal containers for microwave or combination mode cooking, as they may produce sparks.

You can refer to the table below for reference.
