Microwave tips

You cannot find any information about the settings for the quantity of
food you have prepared.
The food has become too dry.
When the time has elapsed, the food is not defrosted, hot or cooked.
When the time has elapsed, the food is overheated at the edge but not
done in the middle.
After defrosting, the poultry or meat is defrosted on the outside but not
defrosted in the middle.
Condensation
Condensation may appear on the door window, interior
walls and floor. This is normal. This does not affect how
the microwave operates. Wipe away the condensation
after cooking.

ing cooking using an egg whisk
Increase or reduce the cooking times using the following rule of thumb:
Double the amount = almost double the cooking time
Half the amount = half the cooking time
Next time, set a shorter cooking time or select a lower microwave power set-
ting. Cover the food and add more liquid.
Set a longer time. Large quantities and food which is piled high require
longer times.
Stir it during the cooking time and next time, select a lower microwave power
setting and a longer cooking time.
Next time, select a lower microwave power setting. If you are defrosting a
large quantity, turn it several times.
