20 3.1 - INTRODUCTION The pasta cooker accessory can be used to cook all types of pasta, maintaining its nutritional value. This new and exclusive system reduces cooking time and simplifies preparation, avoiding the need to add the pasta once the water has come to the boil, mix it during cooking or raise the cover to avoid the foam boiling over . B[...]

21 Level the pasta by shaking the container gently . Pour in the water (*) required to cover the pasta com- pletely until it reaches one of the two levels (L1 or L2) on the mixer as shown in the pictures below: 5 L1 L2 The pasta is completely covered by the water at the L1 level (min). The pasta is completely covered by the water at the L2 level (m[...]

24 4.1 DEFROSTING • Frozen food in plastic bags, plastic film or cardboard packets can be placed directly in the oven for defrosting as long as the packet has no metal parts (e.g. metal twist ties or staples). • Certain foods, such as vegetables and fish, do not require complete defrosting before cooking. • Boiled foods, stews and meat sauces[...]

25 4.2 REHEA TING Reheating food is one of the modes in which your microwave oven displays all its usefulness and efficiency . Compared to traditional methods, using a microwave obviously saves time and therefore electricity . • It is advisable to reheat food (especially if it is frozen) to a temperature of at least 70°C (it must be piping hot).[...]

26 4.3 - COOKING ST ARTERS, P AST A AND ENTREES V egetable soups and other soups in general require less liquid because in a microwave oven evaporation is rather minimal.

27 4.5 - COOKING SIDE DISHES AND VEGET ABLES V egetables cooked in a microwave oven preserve their colour and nutritional value better than in traditional cooking. W ash and peel the vegetables before starting to cook. Larger vegetables should be cut into evenly-sized pieces. Add approx. 5 spoonfuls of water for every 500g of vegetables (vegetables[...]

28 4.6 - COOKING FISH Fish cooks very quickly and with excellent results. It can be dressed with a little butter or oil (or even left without). Cover it with transparent film.
