10.4.7 Recommended cooking tables
Cooking times vary according to the nature, homogeneity and volume of the food. We recommend
monitoring your first attempts and checking the results, as similar results are obtained by cooking
the same dishes in the same conditions. The following three tables (I, II and III) provide guidelines.
