Defrosting 9 Freezing and defrosting – how it’s done … The microwave is an ideal device for defrosting frozen foods quickly and evenly. The power output, defrosting and standing time settings must be selected to suit the consistency and quantity of the food to be defrosted. Microwaves always penetrate food from the outside and move towards the inside. Therefore the middle parts of particularly large pieces of food should not be fully defrosted as in doing this the outside layers may be burned.
Cooking A suitable bowl or dish with a lid must always be used to cook foods in a microwave where nothing to the contrary is indicated. The information on cooking relates to food at domestic refrigerator temperature. First of all, defrost the food before cooking. Note: the defrosting time can be between 5 and 15 minutes for frozen vegetables (-18°C, approx. 300-450 g). Observe the instructions on the packaging. Prepare the vegetables by washing and cleaning them.
Grilling 11 Grilling – how it’s done … Always use the metal stand where grilling is called for. In addition, a heat resistant plate must be placed under the stand. The plate is there to catch the juices, fat, stock and cooking debris given off by the food. The grill function is intended for thin slices of meat, fish, rissoles, shashlyks, sausages or chicken pieces.
Tips You can also use your microwave as a kitchen clock - accurate to the minute – without having the microwave or grill in operation. The delay function allows you to use the clock like an alarm clock. Take note of the current time and enter the following information to tell the microwave the desired time to switch on. Press PRESET , enter the time to switch on the microwave using the NUMERIC KEYS and press the START button . The digital display flashes “PER”.
