Miele M8260-1 - Manual (Page 25)

Place food in a microwave-safe dish
and cover.
When cooking it is recommended to
select a power level of 900 W to begin
with, and once the food is hot reduce
the power to 450 W for more gentle
cooking.
For dishes such as rice or oatmeal, first
select a power level of 900 W then
reduce to 150 W for simmering.
Cooking tips
– Add a little water when cooking
vegetables that are not fresh in the
microwave. Fresh vegetables cook
quicker.
– Food from the fridge needs a longer
cooking time than food at room
temperature.
– Stir of turn food during cooking to
help it cook more evenly.
– Food with a thick skin or peel, such
as potatoes and sausage, should be
pierced several times before cooking
to allow steam to vent and prevent
the food from bursting.
– Eggs can be cooked without their
shells in the microwave only if the
yolk has been punctured. The
pressure could otherwise cause the
egg yolk to explode.
After cooking
Be careful when removing a dish
from the microwave, it may be hot.
