Tips for the microwave
Result Remedy
You cannot find details for the amount of
food prepared.
Look for a similar food. Increase or shorten the length of
the cooking times according to the following rule: Double
the amount = almost double the time, Half the
amount = half the time
The food has got too dry. Set shorter cooking time or select lower microwave pow-
er.
The food is still not defrosted, hot or cooked
after the time has elapsed.
Set longer cooking time or select higher microwave pow-
er. Please note that taller dishes need longer.
After the cooking time has elapsed, the food
is overheated at the edge but is still not ready
in the middle.
Next time select a lower power and a longer time. Stir liq-
uids, e. g. soup, halfway through.
