Here you will find a selection of recipes and the ideal settings
for them. We show you which microwave power setting is best
suited to your dish. There are also tips about ovenware and
preparation methods.

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.
