HINTS AND TIPS
Refer to Safety chapters.
Cooking recommendations
The temperature and cooking times in the tables are guidelines only. They depend on the rec‐
ipes and the quality and quantity of the ingredients used.
Your oven may bake or roast differently to the oven you had before. The hints below show rec‐
ommended settings for temperature, cooking time and shelf position for specific types of the
food.
If you cannot find the settings for a special recipe, look for the similar one.
Microwave recommendations
Let's cook!
Place the food on a plate on the bottom of
the cavity.
Turn or stir the food halfway through the
defrosting and cooking time.
Stir liquid dishes from time to time.
Stir the food before serving.
Cover the food for cooking and reheating.
Put the spoon to the bottle or glass when
heating drinks to ensure better heat
distribution.
Put the food into the oven without
packaging. The packaged ready meals
can be put into the oven only when the
packaging is microwave safe (check
information on the packaging).
Microwave cooking
Cook food covered. If you want to keep a
crust cook food without a cover.
Do not overcook the dishes by setting the
power and time too high. The food can dry
out, burn or cause fire.
Do not use the oven to cook eggs or
snails in their shells, because they can
burst. Pierce the yolk of fried egg before
reheating it.
Pierce food with skin or peel several times
before cooking.
Cut vegetables into similar-sized pieces.
After you turn off the oven, take the food
out and let it stand for a few minutes to
allow the heat distribute evenly.
Microwave defrosting
Put the frozen, unwrapped food on a small
upturned plate with a container below it, or
on a defrosting rack or plastic sieve so
that the defrosting liquid can leak out.
Remove defrosted pieces subsequently.
To cook fruit and vegetables without
defrosting them first, you can use a higher
microwave power.
