Cooking with microwaves
Important tips!
Eggs with shells and whole eggs should
not be heated in microwave ovens as they
may explode.
Before heating or cooking foods with shells
or skin (e.g., apples, tomatoes, potatoes,
sausages) prick them with a fork so that
they do not open up.
When foods are prepared with very little
humidity (e.g. defrosting bread, making
popcorn, etc.), the humidity evaporates
very fast. The appliance then functions with
a vacuum and the food may be carbonised.
This situation may cause damage to the
appliance and to the container being used.
Therefore, the oven should be set only for
the necessary time and the cooking
process should be supervised.
It is not possible to heat large quantities of
oil (fry) in the microwave.
Do not heat liquids in airtight containers.
Explosion hazard!
Alcoholic drinks may not be heated to
high temperatures. Therefore, the oven
should be set only for the necessary time
and the cooking process should be
supervised.
Do not heat any kind of explosive material
or liquid in the microwave.
Remove precooked foods from the
packaging, because the latter is not
always heat-resistant. Follow the
manufacturer’s instructions.
If there are various different containers,
such as cups for example, place them
uniformly on the rotating plate.
Always heat baby bottles or jars of baby
food without lids or teats. After heating,
shake or stir it well to ensure that the heat
is uniformly distributed. The temperature of
the containers is considerably lower than
that of the heated food. Check the
temperature of the food before giving it to
the child, to avoid burns.
Plastic bags should not be closed with
metal clips, but with plastic ones. The bag
should be perforated several times so that
the steam may come out easily.
When heating or cooking foods, ensure
that they reach a minimum temperature of
70°C.
During the cooking process, water vapour
may form on the glass window of the door
and may drip down after a time. This is a
normal situation and may even be
significant if the room temperature is low.
This does not represent a hazard for the
safety of the appliance. After cooking,
clean the water resulting from the
condensation.
