17.2 Defrosting, heating and cooking with
the microwave
Recommended settings for defrosting, heating and
cooking with the microwave.
The cooking time depends on the cookware, as well as
on the temperature, composition and quantity of the
food. This is why temperature ranges are given in the
tables. Begin with the lower temperature and, if neces-
sary, use a higher setting the next time. If you use dif-
ferent quantities than those specified in the table, ad-
here to the rule of thumb: Double the amount = almost
double the time, half the amount = half the time.

dicated in the table.

almost double the
cooking time
