Other things to think about…
• Food items have different shapes and
qualities. They are prepared in
different quantities. Because of this,
the necessary time and power for
defrosting, heating or cooking can
vary. As a rough guide: double the
quantity = almost double the time.
• The microwave creates the heat
directly in the food. Because of this,
all places cannot be heated at the
same time. You must stir or turn the
heated dishes, especially with larger
quantities of food.
• The standing time is given in the
tables. Let the food stand, in the
appliance or outside it, so that the
heat is distributed more equally.
• You get better results for rice if you
use flat, wide dishes.
