4.1 Basics of microwave cooking

  1. Arrange your food carefully. Place thick pieces at the outer areas of your arrangement.
  2. Consider the cooking times. Choose the shortest time available. If needed, add some more cooking time later. Any food, which is cooked too long in a microwave, can begin to fume or catch fire.
  3. Cover food while it is cooking. Covering avoids splashes and enhances an even cooking procedure.
  4. Turn over your food once while cooking it. Food like chicken or hamburgers will then cook faster. Larger pieces like roasts must be turned over at least once.
  5. Rearrange food like meat-balls in the middle of the cooking time from the outer areas to the inner ones (and inversely) and also turn them over.
  6. If you use microwave-safe plastic wrap, it must not contact the food as the wrap may melt.
  7. Some microwave-safe plastic cookware might not be suitable for cooking food with a high content of fat and sugar. Moreover, the preheating time specified in the dish instruction manual must not be exceeded.

4.2 Suitable materials for microwave cooking

  1. Use microwave-safe cookware made of heat-resistant ceramic, glass or plastic only.
  2. Do not use metal-made cookware or other metal-made items or plates with metal-made ornaments. Microwave radiation cannot penetrate metal.
  3. ⚠ WARNING! Metal can generate sparks. RISK OF FIRE.
MaterialRemarks
Aluminium foilOnly suitable to protect small parts of the food. You can cover the thin parts of meat or poultry using small parts of aluminium foil as an overcooking-protection. When the parts of the aluminium foil are too close to the walls of the appliance, sparking can occur. The aluminium foil must be at least 2.5 cr away from the walls of the appliance.
Browning dishesObserve the information given by the relevant manufacturer. The bottom of the browning dish must be at least 5 mm above the turntable. Improper use can break the turntable.
