Tips on microwaving

You can't find cooking details for
specific quantity of food.
The food is too dry.
The food is not yet defrosted,
heated through or cooked on
completion of programme time.
The food is overcooked on the
outside and undercooked in the
middle on completion of cooking
time.
Base programming on a similar-
type of food. Lengthen or shorten
the cooking time accordingly:
Double quantity = almost double
time
Half quantity = half time
Set a shorter cooking time or
reduce the microwave power
output.
Select a longer programme time
or a higher microwave power
setting. Note that larger food will
require a longer time.
Next time, try a lower power set-
ting for a longer time. Stir
liquids, such as soup, periodically.
