16.2 Tips for keeping acrylamide levels low during cooking
Acrylamide is harmful to your health and is produced when you cook cereal and potato products at very high temperatures.

¡ Brown dishes until they are golden brown and not too dark.
¡ Use large, thick pieces of food. These contain less acrylamide.
Baked items and biscuits| ¡ Set the temperature for hot air to max. 180 °C.
¡ Brush baked items and biscuits with egg  or egg yolk. This reduces the production of acrylamide.
Oven chips| ¡ Spread the chips out evenly and in a single layer on the baking tray.
¡ Cook at least 400 g at once on a baking tray so that the chips do not dry out.

16.3 Defrosting, heating and cooking with the microwave
Recommended settings for defrosting, heating and cooking with the microwave.
The cooking time depends on the cookware, as well as on the temperature, composition and quantity of the food. This is why ranges are given in the tables. Begin with the lower value and, if necessary, use a higher setting the next time. It may be that you have
different quantities from those specified in the tables. There is a rule of thumb for this: Double the amount = almost double the time, half the amount = half the time.

Tips on defrosting, heating and cooking with the microwave
Follow these tips for good results when defrosting, heating and cooking with the microwave.

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

Defrosting with the microwave
Recommended settings for using the microwave to defrost food.

Note:
Cooking tips

• Use microwave-safe cookware without a lid.
• Turn or stir the food 2–3 times during this time. When turning, remove any liquid that escapes during defrosting.
• After defrosting, leave the food to rest for 10–60ºminutes.
• Delicate parts such as the legs and wings of chicken or fatty outer layers of roasts can be covered with small pieces of aluminium foil. The foil must not touch the cooking compartment walls. You can remove the foil halfway through the defrosting time.
• Place the frozen food in an open container on the wire rack.
• Place the cookware in the centre of the lower wire rack so that the microwaves can reach the food from all sides.

Heating frozen food in the microwave
Observe the recommended settings when using the microwave to heat frozen food.
Note:
Cooking tips

• Use microwave-safe cookware with a lid. You can also use a plate or microwave film to cover the dish. Take ready
  meals out of the packaging.

• Distribute the food flat in the cookware. Food which lies flat cooks more quickly than food which is piled high.

• Turn or stir the food two or three times during the defrosting time.

• After defrosting, leave the food to rest for 2–5ºminutes.

• The food transfers heat to the cookware. The cookware can become very hot. Use oven gloves.

• The food will retain most of its natural flavor. Use salt and seasonings sparingly.

¡ Place the cookware in the centre of the lower wire rack so that the microwaves can reach the food from all sides.

3. Cook the food without any additional water.

Warming up food using the microwave mode
Observe the recommended settings for using the microwave to heat food.
WARNING ‒ Risk of scalding!
There is a possibility of delayed boiling when a liquid is heated. This means that the liquid reaches boiling temperature without the usual steam bubbles rising to the surface. Even if the container only vibrates a little, the hot liquid may suddenly boil over and spatter.
▶ Always place a spoon in the container when heating liquids. This will prevent delayed boiling.

ATTENTION!
Metal touching the wall of the cooking compartment will cause sparks, which may damage the appliance or the inner door pane.
▶ Metal (e.g. a spoon in a glass) must be kept at least 2 cm from the cooking compartment walls and the inside of the door.

16.5 Roasting and grilling
Recommended settings for roasting and grilling The temperature and roasting time depend on the type and amount of food being cooked. This is why ranges are given in the tables. Begin with the lower value and, if necessary, use a higher setting the next time.

Roasting in cookware
If you prepare dishes in cookware, you can remove them from the cooking compartment more easily and serve them directly in the cookware. When preparing food in cookware with a lid, the cooking compartment remains cleaner.

General information about roasting in cookware

• Use heat-resistant, microwave-safe cookware.

• Metal roasting dishes are not suitable for roasting with microwaves.

• Place the cookware onto the wire rack.

• Check in advance whether the cookware fits in the cooking compartment.

• Glass cookware is best.
  Place hot glass ovenware on a dry mat after cooking. The glass may crack if placed on a cold or wet surface.

• The cookware can become very hot. Use oven gloves to take the cookware out of the oven.

• Follow the manufacturer’s instructions for your roasting dishes.

Cookware without lid
Use a deep roasting dish.

Cookware with lid

• Use a suitable lid that seals well.
• When roasting meat, there should be at least 3 cm between the food and the lid as the meat may expand.
• Meat, poultry and fish can also become crispy in a covered roasting dish. Use a roasting dish with a glass lid. If necessary, set a higher temperature.

WARNING ‒ Risk of scalding!
Very hot steam may escape when the lid is opened after cooking. Steam may not be visible, depending on the temperature.
▶ Lift the lid in such a way that the hot steam can escape away from you.
▶ Keep children away from the appliance.

Notes

• Lean meat or pot roast
  – Add liquid to the cookware so that it is approx.
  1/2 cm deep, e.g. water, wine, vinegar or similar liquid.
  The amount of liquid depends on the type of meat, what the cookware is made of and on whether or not a lid is used.
  More liquid needs to be added to enamelled or dark metal roasting pan than for glass cookware. Add slightly more liquid for pot roasts.
  – During roasting, the liquid in the roasting dish will evaporate. Carefully add liquid as necessary.
  – Turn pieces of meat halfway through the cooking time.

• Fish
  – When steaming fish, add one to three tablespoons of liquid to the cookware, e.g. lemon juice or vinegar.

Grilling
Grill foods that should be crispy.

• Do not grill food with the oven door open.

• Do not preheat.

• Use food to be grilled that is of a similar weight and thickness. This allows the food to be grilled to brown evenly and remain succulent and juicy.

• Place the food to be grilled directly on the wire rack.

• Use grill tongs to turn the grilled items.
  If you pierce the meat with a fork, the juices will run out and it will become dry.

• Do not add salt until after the meat has been grilled.
  Salt draws water from the meat.

Note: Dark meat, such as beef, browns more quickly than lighter-coloured meat, such as veal or pork. When grilling light- coloured meat or fish, these often only brown slightly on the surface, although they are cooked and juicy on the inside.
The grill element switches on and off continuously. This is normal. The frequency of this depends on the grill level that is set. Smoke may be produced when grilling.

Tips for roasting and braising
Follow these tips for good results when roasting and braising.

required and cover it with strips of bacon.
Prepare joints with the rind on.| ¡ Score the rind in a crisscross pattern.
¡ Roast the joint with the rind facing down first.
Keep the cooking compartment as clean as possible.| ¡ Prepare the food in a covered roasting dish at a higher temperature.
The meat should remain succulent and hot, e.g. roast beef.| ¡ When the roast is ready, switch off the oven and leave it to rest for 10 minutes in the cooking compartment with the door closed. This helps distribute the meat juices more evenly. The resting time is not included in the indicated cooking time.
¡ After preparing it, wrap the food in foil.

Beef
