Basic principles of microwave cookery

Cooking time: Pay attention to the cooking time. Select the shortest possible stated cooking time and increase as required. Food that is cooked too long can begin to smoke or catch fire .
Food: Arrange the pieces of food evenly in the product. Cut the food into pieces of approximately the same size. Place the thickest pieces near the edges .
Covering food: Cover the food during cooking with a lid suitable for microwave cookery. The lid prevents splashing and helps in the even cooking of the food .
Turning food: While cooking, turn the food in the product once so that items such as chicken or hamburgers are cooked more quickly . Large pieces of food, such as joints of meat, must be turned at least once . Completely rearrange small food items, such as meatballs, after half the cooking time. Turn the meatballs and move them from the middle of the plate to the edge .
Food with skins: Puncture the skins of potatoes, sausages, and similar food before cooking. Otherwise, they could explode .
Food with thick skins: Prick whole pumpkins, apples, chestnuts, and similar food before cooking .
Fat or oil: Do not thaw frozen fat or oil in the product. Do not fry foods in the product . The fat or oil could ignite .
Beverages: When heating drinks with the product, bubbling may be delayed when the drink boils. Be careful when handling the container. To avoid sudden bubbling up: If possible, place a suitable glass rod in the fluid for as long as it is being heated . To avoid an unexpected bubbling up, leave the liquid to stand in the cooking chamber [8] for about 20 seconds after heating .
Popcorn: Only microwaveable popcorn shall be used .

Using suitable cookware

The ideal material for use in a microwave oven is microwave-permeable, allowing the energy to penetrate the container to heat the food. Microwaves cannot penetrate metal . For this reason, metal containers and cookware should not be used .
When using the product for heating, do not use products made of recycled paper. These can contain minute fragments of metal, which can generate sparks and/or fires .
We recommend the use of round/oval cookware instead of square or oblong containers, as food in corner areas tends to overcook. The following list provides general hints to assist you in selecting the correct cookware .

Cookware	Microwave
Heatproof glass	Yes
Non-heatproof glass	No
Heatproof ceramic	Yes
Microwave-suitable plastic dishes	Yes
Kitchen roll	Yes
Metal tray/plate	No
Aluminium foil and foil containers	No
