Time ranges are often specified in the tables. Set the shortest
time first and then extend the time if necessary.
It may be that you have different quantities from those specified

Double the amount - almost twice the cooking time,
Half the amount - half the cooking time.
Stir or turn the food several times during the heating time.
Check the temperature.
