Tested for you in our cooking studio

Here you will find a selection of recipes and the ideal settings

for them. We show you which microwave power setting is best

suited to your dish. There are also tips about ovenware and

preparation methods.

Information regarding the tables

The following tables provide you with numerous options and

settings for the microwave.

The times specified in the tables are only guidelines. They may

vary according to the ovenware used, the quality, temperature

and consistency of the food.

Time ranges are often specified in the tables. Set the shortest

time first and then extend the time if necessary.

It may be that you have different quantities from those specified

in the tables. A rule of thumb can be applied:

Double the amount - almost twice the cooking time

Half the amount - half the cooking time.

Always place the ovenware on the turntable.

Defrost

Notes

■ Place the frozen food in an open container on the turntable.

■ Delicate parts such as the legs and wings of chicken or fatty

outer layers of roasts can be covered with small pieces of

aluminium foil. The foil must not touch the oven walls. You

can remove the foil half way through the defrosting time.

■ Liquid will be produced when defrosting meat or poultry.

Drain off this liquid when turning meat and poultry and under

no circumstances use it for other purposes or allow it to

come into contact with other foods.

■ Turn or stir the food once or twice during the defrosting time.

Large pieces of food should be turned several times.

■ Leave defrosted items to stand at room temperature for a

further 10 to 20 minutes so that the temperature is even

throughout. The giblets can be removed from poultry at this

point. The meat can still be further prepared, even if it has a

small frozen core.

Defrosting, heating up or cooking frozen food

Notes

■ Take ready meals out of the packaging. They will heat up

more quickly and evenly in microwaveable ovenware. The

different components of the meal may not require the same

amount of time to heat up .

■ Food which lies flat will cook more quickly than food which is

piled high. You should therefore distribute the food so that it

is as flat as possible in the ovenware. Different foodstuffs

should not be placed in layers on top of one another.

■ Always cover the food. If you do not have a suitable cover for

your ovenware, use a plate or special microwave foil.

■ Stir or turn the food 2 or 3 times during cooking.

■ After heating, allow the food to stand for a further 2 to

5 minutes so that it can achieve an even temperature.

■ Always use an oven cloth or oven gloves when removing

plates from the oven.

■ This will help the food retain its own distinct taste, so it will

require less seasoning.
