8.1 Microwave
Information about operation
General:
• After you deactivate the appliance, let
the food stand for some minutes.
Refer to the microwave cooking
tables: standing time.
• Remove the aluminium foil packaging,
metal containers, etc. before you
prepare the food.
Cooking:
www.aeg.com14
• If possible, cook food covered with
material suitable for use in the
microwave. Only cook food without a
cover if you want to keep a crust.
• Do not overcook the dishes by setting
the power and time too high. The
food can dry out, burn or catch fire in
some places.
• Do not use the appliance to cook
eggs in their shells and snails,
because they can burst. With fried
eggs, pierce the yolks first.
• Prick food with "skin" or "peel", such
as potatoes, tomatoes, sausages, with
a fork several times before cooking so
that the food does not burst.
• For chilled or frozen food, set a
longer cooking time.
• Dishes which contain sauce must be
stirred from time to time.
• Vegetables that have a firm structure,
such as carrots, peas or cauliflower,
must be cooked in water.
• Turn larger pieces after half the
cooking time.
• If possible, cut vegetables into similarsized pieces.
• Use flat, wide dishes.
• Do not use cookware made of
porcelain, ceramic or earthenware
with small holes, e. g. on handles or
unglazed bottoms. Moisture going
into the holes can cause the cookware
to crack when it is heated.
Defrosting meat, poultry, fish:
• Put the frozen, unwrapped food on a
small upturned plate with a container
below it, or on a defrosting rack or
plastic sieve so that the defrosting
liquid can run off.
• Turn the food after half the defrosting
time. If possible, divide and then
remove the pieces that have started
to defrost.
Defrosting butter, portions of gateau,
quark:
• Do not fully defrost in the appliance,
but let them defrost at room
temperature. This gives a more even
result. Fully remove all metal or
aluminium packaging or parts before
defrosting.
Defrosting fruit, vegetables:
• Do not fully defrost fruit and
vegetables, which are to be further
prepared while raw, in the appliance.
Let them defrost at room
temperature.
• You can use a higher microwave
power to cook fruit and vegetables
without defrosting them first.
Ready meals:
• Ready meals in metal packaging or
plastic trays with metal covers can
only be defrosted or heated in the
microwave if they are expressively
designated as suitable for use in the
microwave.
• You must follow the manufacturer's
instructions printed on the packaging
(e. g. remove the metal cover and
pierce the plastic film).
