Defrosting with the microwave

Note:

Cooking tips

¡ Freeze the food flat.

¡ Use microwave-safe cookware without a lid.

¡ Place the cookware on the bottom of the cooking compartment.

¡ Turn or stir the food 2–3 times during this time. When turning, remove any liquid that escapes during defrosting.

¡ Liquid is produced when defrosting meat or poultry. When turning, drain off any liquid. Do not use this for other

purposes or allow it to come into contact with other foods.

¡ After turning, remove any minced meat that has already defrosted.

¡ Separate any defrosted parts when turning.

¡ After defrosting, leave the food to rest for 10–60ºminutes.

Before using the appliance, remove all unnecessary

cookware from the cooking compartment.

Select the desired food from the recommended set-

tings.

Place the food in suitable cookware.

Place the cookware in the middle on the cooking

compartment floor.

The food can then absorb the microwaves from all

sides.

Use the recommended settings when configuring

the appliance settings.

Set the shorter cooking time first. If necessary, in-

crease the cooking time.

Use an oven cloth or oven gloves when taking hot

cookware out of the cooking compartment.

15.2 Defrosting, heating and cooking with

the microwave

Recommended settings for defrosting, heating and

cooking with the microwave.

The cooking time depends on the cookware, as well as

on the temperature, composition and quantity of the

food. This is why ranges are given in the tables. Begin

with the lower value and, if necessary, use a higher set-

ting the next time. It may be that you have different

quantities from those specified in the tables. There is a

rule of thumb for this: Double the amount = almost

double the time, half the amount = half the time.
