After the cooking time comes to an end, the food is overheated at the edge but is still not ready in the middle.	Next time set a lower power and a longer time. Stir liquids halfway through, e.g. soup.

To get better results for rice use a flat, wide dish.

DEFROSTING

Let the meat, poultry, fish and vegetables stay covered after cooking.

Brush a little oil or melted butter over the fish.
