Order Of Dishes; Piercing And Scoring; Stir And Turn - hanseatic AC925EC3-S00E Gebrauchsanleitung

• When defrosting, size and form play a key
role. Small, flat food portions defrost faster
and more evenly than larger, thicker food
portions. Separate the defrosting parts dur-
ing the defrosting process, as this allows
the food to defrost more quickly.

Order of dishes

In order to achieve an equally thorough cook-
ing result, the correct arrangement of the dish
must be observed:
• Arrange dishes containing several identical
elements (potatoes, meatballs, hamburg-
ers) in a circle within the container, and
leave the middle section free.
• When working with food of different sizes,
place the smaller or thinner pieces in the
middle, as they are cooked less intensively
there.
• When cooking unevenly shaped food (e.g.
fish) place the flatter or end part towards
the middle.
• Lie thin slices of meat on top of one anoth-
er or in a criss-cross fashion.
• Place the thicker slices and pieces of meat
(roast, sausages etc.) close together.
• Please heat any meat juice or sauces in a
separate container. Only fill it to ⅔.

Piercing and scoring

Excess pressure can be caused in many dish-
es when heating them through. It is therefore
recommended to pierce or score certain dish-
es, in order to prevent them from bursting.
• Shellfish, seafood and eggs in their shells
can burst easily when exposed to mi-
crowaves. This can be avoided by using
specific cooking containers for these food
stuffs, which are available from specialist
retailers.
• Please ensure to pierce any dishes con-
taining shells or skins (e.g. potatoes, toma-
toes, sausages, aubergines, egg yolk), in
order to avoid them bursting.
• Please ensure to score the skin of the en-
tire fish, in order to avoid it bursting open.
Practical tips

Stir and turn

CAUTION
Risk of burns!
Improper handling of the appliance
can lead to burns. Accessible parts, ac-
cessories and dishes become very hot
during operation.
■ Do not touch any parts of the hous-
ing!
■ Food is sometimes heated uneven-
ly. The containers should not get as
hot as the food inside. Please there-
fore ensure to check the temperature
of any food thoroughly and carefully,
especially for children.
■ Before heating up baby food, please
remove the screw cap and suction
teat from the feed bottle.
■ The contents of feeding bottles and
baby food jars must be stirred or
shaken and the temperature checked
before consumption, in order to avoid
burns.
• Baby food in particular must be stirred thor-
oughly to avoid burns. Always check the
temperature of the food by tasting it.
• Please ensure, with poultry, dishes contain-
ing raw egg and when heating up meals,
that the food is thoroughly cooked in order
to completely destroy pathogens such as
salmonella.
• Stirring and turning the food halfway
through the cooking time is particularly im-
portant due to the fact that food is not heat-
ed evenly when cooked in the microwave.
