Cooking time
To determine the right cooking time for your foods, follow the instructions on the
packaging of ready‐made dishes and deep‐frozen products.
In the absence of any precise indication, divide the cooking or reheating time given
for a conventional oven by at least three.
Do not programme a cooking time longer than necessary. You will then avoid any
risk of overcooking or setting fire to your food.
Resting time
Microwaves act close to the surface and penetrate food to a depth of 2 to 3 cm.
once the surface layers are hot, heat penetrates to the centre of the food by
conduction, i.e. the hot parts heat the cold parts. This makes it a good idea to allow
the food to rest after removing it from the microwave so that the heat can penetrate
to the centre.
use.
