About the tables
Notes

The times given apply to food placed in a cold oven.

The temperature and baking time depend on the consistency

and amount of the mixture. This is why temperature ranges

are given in the tables. Begin with the lower temperature and,

if necessary, use a higher setting the next time, since a lower

temperature results in more even browning.

Additional information can be found in the Baking tips section

following the tables.

Always place the cake tin in the centre of the wire rack.

Baking tins
Note:
It is best to use dark-coloured metal baking tins.

You cannot find any information about the settings for the

quantity of food you have prepared.

Increase or reduce the cooking times using the following rule of

thumb:
Double the amount = almost double the cooking time
Half the amount = half the cooking time

The food has become too dry.

Next time, set a shorter cooking time or select a lower microwave

power setting. Cover the food and add more liquid.

When the time has elapsed, the food is not defrosted, hot or

cooked.

Set a longer time. Large quantities and food which is piled high

require longer times.

When the time has elapsed, the food is overheated at the

edge but not done in the middle.

Stir it during the cooking time and next time, select a lower

microwave power setting and a longer cooking time.

After defrosting, the poultry or meat is defrosted on the

outside but not defrosted in the middle.

Next time, select a lower microwave power setting. If you are

defrosting a large quantity, turn it several times.
