7.1 Tips for the microwave

Problem Remedy You cannot find details for the amount of food prepared. Look for a similar food. Increase or shorten the length of the cooking times according to the following rule: Double the amount = almost double the time, Half the amount = half the time The food got too dry. Set shorter cooking time or select lower micro‐ wave power. The food is not defrosted, hot or cooked after the time came to an end. Set longer cooking time or set higher power. Note that large dishes need longer time. After the cooking time comes to an end, the food is overheated at the edge but is still not ready in the mid‐ dle. 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.

• You can find the standing time in the cooking tables. This information tells how long the food should stand in the appliance or out of it after cooking. This lets the heat to spread in the food equally.
