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 .
Always cover the food. If you do not have a suitable cover for
■
your container, use a plate or special microwave foil.

Notes
Food which lies flat will cook more quickly than food which is
■
piled high. You should therefore distribute the food so that it
is as flat as possible in the ovenware. Different foodstuffs
should not be placed in layers on top of one another.
Cook the food in ovenware with a lid. If you do not have a
■
suitable lid for your ovenware, use a plate or special
microwave foil.
