8. HINTS AND TIPS
WARNING!
Refer to Safety chapters.
8.1 Tips for the microwave cooking
Problem
Remedy
You cannot find details on the
amount of food prepared.
Look for a similar type of food. Increase or
shorten the length of the cooking times accord‐
ing to the following rule:
• Double the amount almost double the time.
• Half the amount is a half time.
The food got too dry.
Set a shorter cooking time or select a lower
microwave power.
The food is not defrosted, hot or
cooked when the time ends.
Set a longer cooking time or a higher power.
Note that large dishes need a longer time.
After the cooking time ends, the
food is overheated on the outside,
but still not ready inside.
Next time set a lower power and a longer time.
Stir liquids halfway through, e.g. soup.
Rice cooking results are poor.
To get better results for rice use a flat, wide
dish.
