Other things to think about...
• Foods have different shapes and
qualities. They are prepared in differ-
ent amounts. Therefore the neces-
sary times and powers for
defrosting, heating or cooking are all
different. As a rough guide: Double
the amount = Almost double
the time
• When heating with the microwave
the heat is produced in the food it-
self. For this reason all places can-
not be heated at the same time. The
heated dishes should therefore be
stirred or turned, especially in the
case of larger amounts of food.
• The standing time is given in the ta-
bles. Let the food stand, in the appli-
ance or outside it, so that the heat is
distributed more evenly.
• You get better results for rice using
flat, wide dishes.
