What are microwaves? Microwaves are generated in the microwave oven by a magnetron and cause the water molecules in the food to oscillate. Heat is generated by the friction which is caused, with the result that the food is thawed, heated or cooked. Suitable ovenware Glass &...
Tips & advice Time settings In general the thawing, heating and cooking times are significantly shorter than when using a conventional cooker or oven. For this reason you should adhere to the recommended times given in this book. It is better to set the times too short, rather than too long.

Tips & advice Browning agents After more than 15 minutes cooking time food acquires a brownness, although this is not comparable to the deep brownness and crispness obtained through conventional cooking. In order to obtain an appetising brown colour you can use browning agents. For the most part they simultaneously act as seasoning agents.
Tips & advice Turning/stirring Almost all foods have to be turned or stirred from time to time. As early as possible, separate parts which are stuck together and rearrange them. Small amounts... defrost more quickly and evenly than larger ones. We recommend that you freeze portions which are as small as possible.
