Turning and stirring of pieces while
cooking
• Stirring is important while cooking with
microwave. While cooking in a regular
manner, food are stirred so that they do
not mash together. While cooking in a
microwave on the other hand, the food
are stirred to ensure that the heat
spreads it equally. As the outer layer will
heat faster than the inside, always stir
from the outside in.
• Large, long pieces such as roasts and
whole poultry should be turned over to
ensure even top and bottom cooking.
Thus you may also need to turn cut meat
and chicken over.
• Turning and stirring the pieces while
cooking is important to ensure they are
cooked evenly throughout.
Different cooking times
• Initially, always try the minimum cooking
time and control if the meal is ready or
not. The cooking times given in this
manual are close estimates. Cooking
times may vary depending on the size
and type of food and container.
Waiting time
• Let the food sit for a while after taking it
out of the oven. When defrosting, cook-
ing and reheating, letting the pieces sit
for a while will always give better results.
This is because the heat being evenly
distributed over the food.
• In the microwave oven, food will con-
tinue to cook even after the oven is
turned off. The waiting time will increase
the temperature of the food between 3°C
and 8°C. This process is carried out not
by the microwave oven, but by the heat
in the food. The waiting time varies ac-
cording to the type of food. Sometimes
this time can be as short as taking the
food out of the oven and putting it on the
table. Or it may take up to ten minutes
for large pieces.
• Remove the food from the plastic pack-
age before cooking or defrosting it. In
certain exceptional cases, you may need
to cover the food with a special nylon
stretch film.
• It is especially recommended that some
dishes such as meat, chicken, bread,
cakes and cream sauce be taken out of
the oven before they are fully cooked and
left to wait until they are fully cooked.
6.2 General Warnings About Baking in
the Oven
• While opening the oven door during or
after baking, hot-burning steam may
emerge. The steam may burn your hand,
face and/or eyes. When opening the
oven door, stay away.
• Intense steam generated during baking
may form condensed water drops on the
interior and exterior of the oven and on
the upper parts of the furniture due to
the temperature difference. This is a nor-
mal and physical occurrence.
• The cooking temperature and time val-
ues given for foods may vary depending
on the recipe and amount. For this
reason, these values are given as
ranges.
• Always remove unused accessories from
the oven before you start cooking. Ac-
cessories that will remain in the oven
may prevent your food from being
cooked at the correct values.
• For foods that you will cook according to
your own recipe, you can reference sim-
ilar foods given in the cooking tables.
