Cooking Guide for fresh vegetables

Use a suitable glass pyrex bowl with lid. Add 30-45 ml cold water (2-3 tbsp.)

or every 250 g unless another water quantity is recommended – see table.

Cook covered for the minimum time – see table. Continue cooking to get

the result you prefer. Stir once during and once after cooking. Add salt,

herbs or butter after cooking. Cover during a standing time of 3 minutes.

Hint: Cut the fresh vegetables into even sized pieces.

The smaller they are cut, the quicker they will cook.

All fresh vegetables should be cooked using full microwave power (900 W).

Cooking Guide for rice and pasta

Rice: Use a large glass pyrex bowl with lid – rice doubles in

volume during cooking. Cook covered.

After the cooking time is over, stir before standing time and

salt or add herbs and butter.

Remark: the rice may not have absorbed all water after the

cooking time is ﬁnished.

Pasta: Use a large glass pyrex bowl. Add boiling water, a pinch of

salt and stir well. Cook uncovered.

Stir occasionally during and after cooking. Cover during

standing time and drain thoroughly afterwards.

REHEATING

Your microwave oven will reheat food in a fraction of the time that

conventional ovens hobs normally take.

Use the power levels and reheating times in the following chart as a guide.

The times in the chart consider liquids with a room temperature of about

+18 to +20 °C or a chilled food with a temperature of about +5 to +7 °C.

Arranging and covering

Avoid reheating large items such as joint of meat – they tend to overcook

and dry out before the centre is piping hot. Reheating small pieces will be

more successful.

Power levels and stirring

Some foods can be reheated using 900 W power while others should be

reheated using 600 W, 450 W or even 300 W.

Check the tables for guidance. In general, it is better to reheat food using a

lower power level, if the food is delicate, in large quantities, or if it is likely to

heat up very quickly (mince pies, for example).

Stir well or turn food over during reheating for best results. When possible,

stir again before serving.

Take particular care when heating liquids and baby foods. To prevent

eruptive boiling of liquids and possible scalding, stir before, during and

after heating. Keep them in the microwave oven during standing time. We

recommend putting a plastic spoon or glass stick into the liquids. Avoid

overheating (and therefore spoiling) the food.

It is preferable to underestimate cooking time and add extra heating time, if

necessary.
