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 close food and loose
Food density	food. The former requires longer time.
Food quantity	The energy of the microwave is a certain value, and will not
	change along with the quantity of the food. Therefore larger

Bone and fat	more energy. Therefore please pay attention to the over-
	heat possibility in cooking the meat with bones and fats.
Add cover	It can reduce the radiation of heat and vapor to put the food
	into container with cover, and thus shorten the cooking time.
Settle	Please settle the food in circular shape during cooking, and
