Tips for the microwave
Result Remedy
You cannot find details for the amount
of food prepared. Find details for similar type of food. Increase or
shorten the length of the cooking time according to
the following rule: double the amount - almost dou-
ble the time, half the amount - half the time.
The food after cooking is too dry. Set shorter cooking time or select lower microwave
power and cover with material suitable for use in the
microwave.
The food is still not defrosted, hot or
cooked after the end of cooking time . Set longer cooking time or select higher microwave
power. Note that taller dishes generally need longer
cooking time. Stir or turn food during cooking.
After the end of cooking time the food is
overheated at the edges but is still not
ready in the middle. Next time select a lower power and a longer time.
Stir liquids, such as soup, halfway through.
Other things to think about…
• Food items have different shapes and
qualities. They are prepared in different
quantities. Because of this, the
necessary time and power for defrosting,
heating or cooking can vary. As a rough
guide:
double the quantity - almost
double the time.
• The microwave creates the heat directly
in the food. Because of this, all places
cannot be heated at the same time. You
must stir or turn the heated dishes,
especially when preparing larger
quantities of food.
• The
standing time
is given in the
tables. Let the food stand, in the
appliance or outside it, so that the heat
is distributed more evenly.
• Adjust the power level according to food
quantity. Using high power level with
small amount of food can burn the food
or generate arcing when you use the
accessories.
• You get better results for rice if you use
flat, wide dishes.
