Check with your cookbook again, to make sure you’ve followed directions exactly: and to see
what might cause variations in cooking time.
Cookbook times and heat settings are suggestions, chosen to help prevent over-cooking
the most common problem in getting used to a microwave oven. Variations in the size, shape,
weight and dimensions of the food could require longer cooking time. Use your own judge-
ment along with the cookbook suggestions to test for doneness, just as you would do with
conventional cooking.
