CLARIFICATIONOFSYMBOLS

MICROWAVE POWER

Your microwave oven has 800 W (100 P) and 5 power levels. You should follow the instructions in this cookbook while selecting the microwave power. The following recommendations generally apply:

100 % power = 100 P (800 watts)

is used for fast cooking or heating e.g. for meals on a plate, hot drinks, vegetables, fish, etc.

70 % power = 70 P (560 watts)

Reduce the microwave power for longer cooking of compact foods such as roasts or delicate foods, e.g. cheese sauces. When the power is low the food does not overcook and the meat cooks evenly without overcooking at the sides.

50 % power = 50 P (400 watts)

It is advisable to reduce the power and to prolong the cooking time for compact foods which require a long cooking time in conventional cooking, e.g. beef dishes. The meat will be more tender.

30 % power = 30 P (240 watts)

Select a low power level for defrosting. This ensures that the food will defrost evenly. This level is also ideal for simmering rice, noodles and dumplings.

10 % power = 10 P (80 watts)

You should select the lowest power level for delicate defrosting, e.g. for cream tarts.
