10. HELPFUL HINTS AND TIPS
10.1 Tips for the microwave
Problem
Remedy
You cannot find details for the
amount of food prepared.
Look for a similar food. Increase or shorten
the length of the cooking times according
to the following rule: Double the amount
= almost double the time, Half the
amount = half the time
The food got too dry.
Set shorter cooking time or select lower mi-
crowave power.
The food is not defrosted, hot or
cooked after the time came to an
end.
Set longer cooking time or set higher pow-
er. Note that large dishes need longer
time.
After the cooking time comes to
an end, the food is overheated at
the edge but is still not ready in
the middle.
Next time set a lower power and a longer
time. Stir liquids halfway through, e.g.
soup.
To get better results for rice use a flat,
wide dish.
10.2 Defrosting
Always defrost roast with the fat side
down.
Do not defrost covered meat because
this may cause cooking instead of de-
frosting.
Always defrost whole poultry breast side
down.
10.3 Cooking
Always remove chilled meat and poultry
from the refrigerator at least 30 minutes
before cooking.
Let the meat, poultry, fish and vegeta-
bles stay covered after cooking.
Brush a little oil or melted butter over
the fish.
Add 30 - 45 ml of cold water for every
250 g of vegetables. Cut the fresh vege-
tables into even size pieces before cook-
ing. Cook all vegetables with a cover on
the container.
10.4 Reheating
When you reheat packed ready meals al-
ways follow the instruction written on the
packaging.
10.5 Grilling
Grill flat food items in the middle of the
grill rack.
Turn the food over halfway through the
set time and continue grilling.
10.6 Combi Cooking
Use the Combi Cooking to keep the
crispness of certain foods.
At the half of the cooking time, turn over
the foods then continue.
There are 2 modes for Combi Cooking.
Each mode combines the microwave
and the grill functions at different time
periods and power levels.
