Cooking
A suitable bowl or dish with a lid must always be used to cook foods in a
microwave where nothing to the contrary is indicated. The information on
cooking relates to food at domestic refrigerator temperature. First of all,
defrost the food before cooking. Note: the defrosting time can be between
5 and 15 minutes for frozen vegetables (-18°C, approx. 300-450 g).
Observe the instructions on the packaging. Prepare the vegetables by
washing and cleaning them.
Always observe the relevant cooking instructions. Some foods require
liquid to be added (for vegetables normally 1-2 dessert spoonfuls (DS) per
100 g), whilst others, e.g. cucumbers, onions, fungi and spinach, do not.
On the other hand, other foods require to be stirred at least once during
cooking.
Once again, as with defrosting, standing time is important. The time
for temperature equalisation and the associated post-microwave further
cooking period should be between 5 and 10 minutes.
Leave the food inside or outside of the switched-off microwave during
the standing time.
Herbs, spices and/or, if called for, a little butter can be added to the
vegetables after the standing time.
In the case of ready-made or frozen dishes, microwave cooking should
follow the times given on the packaging.
