Cooking time
To determine the right cooking time for your foods, follow the instruc-
tions on the packaging of ready-made dishes and deep-frozen products.
In the absence of any precise indication, divide the cooking or reheating
time given for a conventional oven by at least three.
In any case, refer to the cooking guide included in these instructions.
Do not programme a cooking time longer than necessary. You will
then avoid any risk of overcooking or setting fire to your food.
Resting time
Microwaves act close to the surface and penetrate food to a depth of 2 to
3 cm. Once the surface layers are hot, heat penetrates to the centre of the
food by conduction, i.e. the hot parts heat the cold parts. This makes it a
good idea to allow the food to rest after removing it from the microwave
so that the heat can penetrate to the centre.
