Checking
Dishes cook quickly. That’s why you should check them regularly. Take them out of the
microwave just before they’re ready.
Continued cooking
In general, allow dishes to stand covered for 3 to 10 minutes after removing them from the
microwave. The dishes continue to cook. Don’t cover dishes with a dry crust, such as cake.
Freezing
When freezing food you should take defrosting in the microwave into account, by not using
aluminium foil or trays and by freezing in flat portions.
Cooking vegetables
• If possible, always use fresh vegetables. If vegetables have become a little limp because
they’ve been left for too long, you can place them in cold water for a while so that they
absorb moisture.
• Use a large dish to cook vegetables, so that the layer covering the dish base is not too thick.
• Do not add any more water to vegetables than that remaining after rinsing.
• Always cover the dish with a lid or microwave film.
• Do not add salt. The salts present naturally in the vegetables should give sufficient flavour. If
you still wish to add salt, you can do this after cooking.
• Cook vegetables for the shortest time possible. Take into account the fact that the
vegetables will continue to cook.
• Check with a satay stick or fork whether the vegetables are ready.
Cooking fish
Fish needs to cook evenly. For thin fish, oily fish or small portions set the power low (about 30%).
In other cases you can set the power somewhat higher. Take continued cooking into account.
Fish is ready when it becomes opaque.
