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 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.

Risk of scalding!
There is a possibility of delayed boiling when a liquid is heated.
This means that the liquid reaches boiling temperature without
the usual steam bubbles rising to the surface. Even if the
container only moves a little, the hot liquid can suddenly boil

your ovenware, use a plate or special microwave foil.
Stir or turn the food 2 or 3 times during cooking.

5 minutes so that it can achieve an even temperature.
Always use an oven cloth or oven gloves when removing

This will help the food retain its own distinct taste, so it will
■
