Information Regarding The Tables; Defrosting, Heating Up Or Cooking Frozen Food - Blaupunkt 5MA16100 Gebrauchsanleitung

Information regarding the tables

The following tables provide you with numerous options and
settings for the microwave.
The times specified in the tables are only guidelines. They may
vary according to the ovenware used, the quality, temperature
and consistency of the food.
Time ranges are often specified in the tables. Set the shortest
time first and then extend the time if necessary.
It may be that you have different quantities from those specified
in the tables. A rule of thumb can be applied:
Double the amount - almost twice the cooking time
Half the amount - half the cooking time.
Always place the ovenware on the turntable.
Defrost
Whole pieces of meat (beef, veal or
pork - on the bone or boned)
Meat in pieces or slices of beef,
veal or pork
Minced meat, mixed
Poultry or poultry portions
Fish fillet, fish steak or slices
Vegetables, e.g. peas
Fruit, e.g. raspberries
Butter, defrosting
Loaf of bread
Cakes, dry, e.g. sponge cake
Cakes, moist, e.g. fruit flan, cheese-
cake

Defrosting, heating up or cooking frozen food

Notes
Take ready meals out of the packaging. They will heat up
■
more quickly and evenly in microwaveable ovenware. The
different components of the meal may not require the same
amount of time to heat up .
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 ovenware. Different foodstuffs
should not be placed in layers on top of one another.
Always cover the food. If you do not have a suitable cover for
■
your ovenware, use a plate or special microwave foil.
Stir or turn the food 2 or 3 times during cooking.
■
After heating, allow the food to stand for a further 2 to
■
5 minutes so that it can achieve an even temperature.

Defrost
Notes
Place the frozen food in an open container on the turntable.
■
Delicate parts such as the legs and wings of chicken or fatty
■
outer layers of roasts can be covered with small pieces of
aluminium foil. The foil must not touch the oven walls. You
can remove the foil half way through the defrosting time.
Liquid will be produced when defrosting meat or poultry.
■
Drain off this liquid when turning meat and poultry and under
no circumstances use it for other purposes or allow it to
come into contact with other foods.
Turn or stir the food once or twice during the defrosting time.
■
Large pieces of food should be turned several times.
Leave defrosted items to stand at room temperature for a
■
further 10 to 20 minutes so that the temperature is even
throughout. The giblets can be removed from poultry at this
point. The meat can still be further prepared, even if it has a
small frozen core.
Notes
-
Separate any defrosted parts when
turning
Freeze food flat if possible
Turn several times, remove any
defrosted meat
-
Separate any defrosted parts
-
Stir carefully during defrosting and
separate any defrosted parts
Remove all packaging
-
Only for cakes without icing, cream or
crème pâtissière, separate the pieces
of cake
Only for cakes without icing, cream or
gelatine
Always use an oven cloth or oven gloves when removing
■
plates from the oven.
This will help the food retain its own distinct taste, so it will
■
require less seasoning.
