Increase or decrease the cooking times according to the
following rule of thumb:
Double the amount = almost double the time
Half the amount
Set a shorter cooking time next time or select a lower
microwave setting. Cover the food and add more liquid.
Set a longer time. Larger amounts and deeper dishes take
longer to cook.
Stir the food during the cooking time and next time select a
lower setting and a longer duration.
Next time select a lower microwave setting. In addition, turn
large amounts of meat or poultry frequently when defrosting.
Notes
Cut vegetables into pieces of
equal size. Add 1 to 2 table
spoons of water per 100 g of
vegetables.
Cut potatoes into pieces of equal
size. Pour water into the
container to a depth of about
1 tablespoon, and stir.
Add double the amount of liquid.
Stir the pudding thoroughly using
an egg whisk 2 to 3 times during
the cooking.
