Basic information about cooking with microwaves
-
Carefully distribute the food on the surface, making sure that the thickest, largest pieces are on
the outside.
-
Check the cooking time carefully. First set the timer to the shortest cooking time indicated and
extend the time if necessary. Food cooked for too long will produce smoke or even pose a fire
hazard.
-
Cover the food during preparation. Covers prevent the contents from splashing out and ensure
that the food is cooked evenly.
-
Before cooking, pierce the skin of potatoes, apples, whole soft fruits, chestnuts and vegetables.
-
Turn the food during preparation to speed up cooking. Large pieces such as roasts etc. must
be turned at least once.
-
Rearrange foods such as meatballs in the container during cooking (e.g. place the bottom
pieces on top and the inner pieces on the outside) so that all pieces are cooked evenly.
-
When heating food in plastic or paper packaging, it should be monitored as there is a risk
of spontaneous combustion.
-
Remove any metal parts or metal handles from paper/plastic packaging before placing it
in the microwave.
Use suitable dishes:
-
The following table will help you choose the right dishes:
Dishes
Heat-resistant glass
Non-heat-resistant glass
Heat-resistant ceramic
Microwave safe cookware
Kitchen paper *)
Metal base
Metal grille
Aluminium foils and containers
*) Do not use recycled paper as it may contain small metallic
residues.
-
Do not place food directly on the glass turntable for cooking, but use suitable dishes. The
dishes must not protrude beyond the turntable.
-
Microwaves are reflected by metal surfaces and therefore cannot reach the food being cooked.
Sparks can also form if there is metal in the cooking chamber and this could damage the
appliance.
-
Cutlery or metal containers must therefore not be used in the microwave. Some packaging
contains, for example, aluminum foil or wires under a layer of paper and is therefore also
unsuitable. Crockery must not have any metal decorations, e.g. gold rims or metallic colors.
Lead crystal is also unsuitable. Crockery must not have any closed cavities, e.g. in the handles.
Porous crockery may absorb water when washed and is therefore unsuitable. Crockery made
of the plastic melamine absorbs energy and is unsuitable.
