Tips on microwaving
You can’t find cooking details for specific quantity of food.
The food is too dry.
The food is not yet defrosted, hea- ted through or cooked on comple- tion of programme time.
The food is overcooked on the out- side and undercooked in the middle on completion of cooking time.
Base programming on a similar type of food. Lengthen or shorten the cooking time accordingly:
Double quantity = almost double time
Half quantity = half time
Set a shorter cooking time or redu- ce the microwave power output.
Select a longer programme time or a higher microwave power setting. Note that larger food will require a longer time.
Next time, try a lower power set- ting for a longer time. Stir liquids, such as soup, periodically.
