Electrolux KM9800E manual Microwave Cooking Table, To be taken into consideration, Defrosting

3 To be taken into consideration...

•Foods have different shapes and compositions. They are prepared in different amounts. Therefore the necessary times and powers for de- frosting, heating and cooking are all different. As a rough guide:

Double the amount = almost double the time

•When heating with the microwave the heat is produced in the food itself. For this reason all places cannot be heated at the same time. The heated dishes should therefore be stirred or turned, above all in the case of larger amounts of food.

•In the tables standing time is given. Let the food stand, in the appli- ance or outside it, so that the heat is distributed more evenly.

•You get better results in cooking rice in flat, wide containers.
