This oven function is suitable for making stews, goulash, chicken breasts, etc. To prepare roasts and skewered meat dishes (among others), you must use the combined function. FISH In a microwave oven, fish can be prepared very quickly and with excellent results. You can season it with a little oil or butter (or not season it at all, if you so prefer). The skin is to be slit, of course, and filleted fish must be placed in a uniform fashion. We recommend that you not use this oven to cook fish which has been dipped in egg batter. GREENS AND VEGETABLES Greens and vegetables cooked in a microwave oven retain more of their colour and nutritional value than when cooked in traditional ovens.
