power output best suited for the food type you are preparing. As with any food

best results
To help you achieve the best possible results from your microwave oven, read the
following suggestions below:
÷ Storage temperature
Foods taken from the freezer or refrigerator take longer to cook than the same
foods would at room temperature.
Size
Small pieces of food cook faster than large ones. Pieces similar in size and shape
will cook more evenly when cooked together. For more even results, reduce the
power levels when cooking large pieces of food.
÷ Natural moisture
Very moist foods cook more evenly because microwave energy heats water
molecules very efficiently.
Stirring
Stir foods such as casseroles and vegetable from the outside to the center to
distribute the heat more evenly. This will allow the food to cook faster. Constant
stirring is not necessary.
÷ Turn over items
Turn over foods such as pork chops, roasts or whole cauliflower halfway through
the cook time. This will help to expose all sides equally to microwave energy.
÷ Food placement
Place delicate areas of food items, such as asparagus tips, toward the center of
the turntable tray.
÷ Food arrangement
Arrange unevenly shaped foods, such as chicken pieces or salmon, with the
thicker or meatier parts toward the outside of the turntable tray.
