Cooking with microwaves
Before using a container, check if it is suitable for
using in a microwave oven (see: “What kind of
containers may be used?”).
Cut the food before starting to prepare it.
When heating liquids, use containers with a large
neck, so that the steam may evaporate easily.
Prepare foods according to the tips and pay
attention to the cooking times and power levels
indicated in the tables.
Remember that the values given are merely a
guideline and that they may vary depending on
the initial state, temperature, humidity and type of
food. We recommend that the times and power
levels be adjusted to each situation. Depending
on the food, the cooking time should be extended
or shortened and the power level should be raised
or reduced.
Cooking with microwaves...
1. The greater the quantity of food, the longer the
cooking time. Remember the following rules:
• Double the quantity - double the time
• Half the quantity – half the time
2. The lower the temperature, the longer the
cooking time.
3. Liquid foods heat faster.
4. Proper distribution of the food on the rotating
plate facilitates uniform cooking. If the solid
foods are placed on the outer part of the plate
and the least solid in the middle of the plate, it
will be possible to heat different kinds of food at
the same time.
5. The door of the appliance may be opened at
any time. The appliance is automatically
switched off. The microwave only continues to
function if the door is closed.
6. Foods that are covered require less cooking
time and their characteristics are better
preserved. The lid must allow the microwaves
to pass through and should have little openings
to allow the steam to come out.
