Dear Connoisseur
Mealtimes are when families are most
often together. Food is nearly always
the focus when friends gather, be it for
a casual evening or a more formal
celebration. And whenever people meet
to enjoy a meal, cooking takes a central
role.

In the Miele Test Kitchen, we are in the
privileged position of being able to
practise professionally the hobby we
share with many thousands of people
across the world – cookery. We get the
chance to experiment with both the
traditional and the more exotic
ingredients every day. Even after many
years of experience, we never cease to
be amazed by the new flavours and
tastes we can create using our Miele
appliances.
This book draws together our
experience, excitement and passion for
experimenting in the imaginative yet
easy-to-prepare recipes we have created
for you to try. We wish you
“bon appetit” and above all hours of
successful cooking with your Miele
microwave oven.
If you have any questions or comments,
please give us a call on the number on
the back cover.
Kind regards,
Your Miele Home Economists

In addition to the standard microwave
function, Miele offer appliances with a
grill which can be used on its own or in
combination with microwave heating.
Top of the range models also feature
automatic programmes for defrosting
and cooking a variety of different
foods.
The output levels vary according to
model. The recipes in this book give
settings of both 800 and 900 W. Please
select the appropriate setting for your
oven. Cooking times are given in minutes
only, as timings can vary and may need
to be a little bit longer or shorter.
Where reduced output levels are given
for continued cooking, they are in the
range 600, 450, 300, 150 and 80 W.
The times given for defrosting, reheating
and cooking serve as a guide only.
Much depends on the temperature of
the uncooked food and its quality.
Small adjustments can be made to suit
your own taste as to how well done,
crisp or brown you like your fish, meat
and vegetables.
When reheating and cooking, always
cover the food with a microwave-safe
lid or cling film. This will prevent food
from drying out and soiling the oven.
The one exception to this is when you
are reheating meat or fish with a
breadcrumb topping that needs to
become crisp.
Food should be left uncovered when
using the grill and grill combination
function.

When browning food under the grill,
or where the total grilling time is less
than 15 minutes, the grill must always
be pre-heated for approximately
3 minutes. It is not necessary to pre-heat
the grill when using it in combination
with the microwave (microwave + grill).
In this useful combination programme,
the microwave reduces the cooking time
while the grill ensures an appetising
browned finish.
