Always cook food in covered dishes. You should stir or turn the food during
cooking.
The individual taste of the food is retained to a large degree. You can therefore use
less salt and spices.
Food that is laid flat heats up quicker than if it is piled high. Therefore, it is best to
spread out the food so that it lies flat in the container. If possible, you should not
place layers of food on top of each other.
Once you have cooked the meals, leave them to stand for another 2 to 5 minutes so
that the temperature can stabilize.
Clean fish before starting the recipe. Arrange fish in a single layer; do not overlap
edges. Place thicker pieces towards the outside edge of the dish. Shrimp and
scallops should be placed in a single layer.
Place the dish on the turntable. Cover the dish with plastic wrap. Cook on the power
level and for the minimum time recommended in the chart. Halfway through
cooking, rearrange, stir shrimp or scallops, and turn fish fillets over. Let stand,
covered, 5 minutes.
Test for doneness before adding extra cooking time. Fish and seafood should be
opaque in color and fish should flake when tested with a fork. If undercooked, return
to the oven and continue to cook for 30 Ć 60 seconds.
