1)Let the food stand at room temperature.

This allows the heat to be distributed more evenly through the food.

Take note of the recommended microwave power levels, timings and standing times. These take the consistency, the quantity and the initial temperature of the food into account.

If a range of times is given, it is generally best to select a time in the middle.
