Cooking food

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 cookware.

Food should not be placed in layers on top of one

another.

Cook the food on its own in the microwave – always

use with a lid on the cookware. Place the cookware

directly on the turntable. If you do not have a suitable lid

for your cookware, use a plate or special microwave

foil.

This will help the food retain its flavour. This means that

you can use salt and seasonings sparingly.

After cooking, allow the food to stand for a further 2 to 5

minutes to allow the temperature to even out.

Always use an oven cloth or oven gloves when

removing cookware from the appliance.

Grilling:

Always grill on the wire rack with the cooking

compartment door closed and do not preheat.

Always place the wire rack on the turntable.

Combined microwave and grill:

Combi mode is especially suitable for bakes and

gratins.

Always place the cookware on the turntable and do not

cover the food.

Use a deep dish when roasting. This will help keep the

cooking compartment clean.

Use large shallow cookware for bakes and gratins.

Food takes longer to cook in narrow, deep containers

and browns more on top.

Check that your cookware fits in the cooking

compartment. It must not be too big, the turntable must

still be able to turn.

Always set the maximum cooking time. Check the food

after the shorter time specified.

Leave the meat to rest for another 5-10 minutes before

carving it. This allows the meat juices to be distributed

evenly so that they do not run out when the meat is

carved.

Bakes and gratins should be left to cook in the

appliance for a further 5 minutes after the appliance has

been switched off.

All the values given in the table are guidelines and can

vary depending on the properties of your food.
