Other things to think about…
• Food items have different shapes and quali-
ties. They are prepared in different quanti-
ties. 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 with larg-
er quantities of food.
• The standing time is given in the tables.
Let the food stand, in the appliance or out-
side it, so that the heat is distributed more
equally.
• You get better results for rice if you use flat,
wide dishes.
