TIPS FOR FOOD PREPARATION

Whenpreparingfoodinamicrowaveoven,thefollowing

basic rules apply:

Cookingtime

Smallerquantitiesoffoodcookmorerapidlythan

largequantities.Iftheamountoffoodisdoubled,the

preparation time must correspondingly be more than

doubled.

Smallpiecesofmeat,smallshandchoppedvegetables

cookmorequicklythanlargepieces.Forthesamereason,

it is recommended, if, for example, you wish to make

goulash, stews or similar, that the meat be cut into pieces

no bigger than 2 x 2 cm.

Thecompactnessofthefoodisalsoveryimportantforthe

cookingtime.Themorecompactthefoodis,thelongerit

takes to cook.

• Wholejointsrequirealongercookingtimethanstewed

dishes.

• Ajointrequiresalongertimethanadishusingminced

meat.

Thecolderthefood,thelongerthecookingtimeneedsto

be. Food at room temperature will therefore cook faster

than food from a fridge or freezer.

Whencookingvegetables,thecookingtimedepends

onthefreshnessofthevegetables.Therefore,checkthe

condition of the vegetables, and add or deduct a little time

accordingly.

Theshortcookingtimewhenusingamicrowaveoven

means that the food does not overcook.

• Ifrequired,alittlewatercanbeadded.

• Whencookingshandvegetables,youonlyneedtouse

the minimum of water.

Microwave power

Thechoiceofpowersettingdependsontheconditionof

the food to be cooked.

In most cases, the food is cooked on full power.

• Fullpowerisused,amongotherthings,forreheating

foodquickly,boilingwaterorsimilar.

• Lowpowerisprincipallyusedtodefrostfoodand

preparedishescontainingcheese,milkoregg.(Whole

eggs in their shell cannot be cooked in a microwave

oven,asthereisariskoftheeggsexploding.)In

addition,lowerpowersettingsarealsousedtonishoff

and to retain the excellent aroma of a dish.

General information on cooking

• Whenpreparingbagmicrowavepopcorn,usean

ovenproof dish suited for use in microwave ovens to

protect the glass plate from shattering.

• Iftheentiremealistobecookedinamicrowaveoven,

it is recommended that you start with the most compact

foods,suchaspotatoes.Oncetheseareready,cover

them while the rest of the food cooks.

• Mostfoodshouldbecovered.Aclose-ttingcover

retains the steam and moisture, which shortens the

cookingtimeinthemicrowaveoven.Thisisparticularly

thecasewhencookingvegetables,shdishesand

casseroles.Coveringfoodalsodistributestheheat

better, thus ensuring rapid and excellent results.

• Inordertoachievethebestpossibleresults,itis

important to position the food correctly, as the

microwave rays are most powerful at the centre of the

ovencompartment.If,forexample,youarebaking

potatoes, you should position them along the edge of

the glass turntable so that they cook evenly.

• Inordertocookcompactdishessuchasmeatand

poultry evenly, it is important to turn the pieces of meat

a few times.
