Cooking tips for microwave oven

Food temperature	Lower temperature requires longer cooking time. Frozen
	food needs longer heating time than common food.
Food moisture	As the microwave cavity is smaller it will retain a higher level of
	humidity, larger humidity levels result in shorter cooking time.
Food shape	As the microwave can only penetrate 2-4cm into the food,
	the thickness of the food will influence the cooking time.
	Heating times are different between dense food
Food density	(meats) and loose(peas) food. The former requires
	longer time.
Food quantity	The selected power level of the microwave is a certain value, and
	will not change along with the quantity of the food. Therefore larger
	quantity of food requires longer cooking time.
	Bones have quicker heat transmission, and fats absorb more
Bone and fat	energy. Therefore please pay attention to the overheat
	possibility in cooking the meat with bones and fats.
	The production of heat and vapour can be reduced by
Add cover	placing the food into a container with a cover, this will
	shorten the cooking time.
	Please form the food in circular shape during cooking,
Settle	and avoid piling up as far as possible. It can improve
	the evenness.
Stir	When cooking liquid food like the soap, juice or
	beverage etc., stir it slightly before and during cooking.
Seal	Seal the food with freshness-preserve film to avoid
	splashing and contaminating the cavity. It can also
	preserve the moisture and nutrition.
Lay aside	When the food is removed from the microwave oven, the
	inside of the food is still heating. Place it aside for some time.
	Take the factor of duration into consideration.
