Defrosting, heating up and cooking with the microwave
The following tables provide you with numerous options and settings for the microwave.
The times specified in the tables are only guidelines. They may vary according to the ovenware used,
the quality, temperature and consistency of the food.
Time ranges are often specified in the tables. Set the shortest time first and then extend the time
if necessary.
Defrosting
Notes:
Place the frozen food in an open container on the lower wire rack.
Delicate parts such as the legs and wings of chicken or fatty outer layers of roasts can be covered
with small pieces of aluminium foil. The foil must not touch the cooking compartment walls. You can
remove the foil half way through the defrosting time.
Turn or stir the food once or twice during the defrosting time. Large pieces of food should be turned
several times. When turning, remove any liquid that has resulted from defrosting.
Leave defrosted items to stand at room temperature for a further 10 to 60 minutes so that the
temperature can stabilise. The giblets can be removed from poultry at this point.
Defrosting, heating up or cooking frozen food
Notes:
Take ready meals out of the packaging. They will heat up more quickly and evenly in microwaveable
ovenware. The different components of the meal may not require the same amount of time to
heat up .
Food that lies flat will cook more quickly so ensure that it is as level as possible in the cookware.
Different foodstuffs should not be placed in layers on top of one another.
Always cover the food. If you do not have a suitable cover for your ovenware, use a plate or special
microwave foil.
Stir or turn the food 2 or 3 times during cooking.
After heating, allow the food to stand for a further 2 to 5 minutes so that it can achieve an
even temperature.
Always use an oven cloth or oven gloves when removing plates from the oven.
Cooking food
Popcorn for the microwave
Notes:
Use heat-resistant, flat glass ovenware, e.g. the lid of an ovenproof dish, a glass plate or a glass
tray (Pyrex).
Always place the ovenware on the wire rack.
Do not use porcelain or overly curved plates.
Make the settings as described in the table. You can adjust the timings according to product
and amount.
So that the popcorn doesn't burn, briefly take the popcorn bag out of the oven after 1 minute and 30
seconds and shake it. Take care as the bag will be hot!
