Foods such as meat should be turned frequently to ensure more even cooking results. If the
food is liquid based, stirring during the cooking time is advisable.
ALLOW STANDING TIME
When the microwave has stopped cooking, leave the food to rest for an adequate length of
time to allow for cooking completion and cooling.
