5. TIPS

The following factors may affect the cooking result:

Food distribution

Place the thicker parts towards the outside of the dish and the thinner parts 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

Food such as chicken, hamburgers or steak should be turned over 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 standing time

After the cooking time has finished, leave the food in the microwave for an appropriate time to complete its cooking cycle and cool down 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.
• Pork 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.

ENGLISHENGLISH

Microwave-safe plastic film
