Bevore you read on Microwaves, what are they? Microwaves are electromagnetic energy like ordinary daylight or radio waves, the only difference being the wave length. Radio waves are broadcast through the air around us, and travel great distances; when received by a radio, the energy they carry is converted into sound. Microwaves are broad cast inside the cooker and can travel only short distances. When they are received by the food, energy they carry is converted into heat.
How to cook with time, variable power and the food sensor/temperature________________________ The cooking guide on the appliance is a general reminder. For more detailed information please see the charts on pages 14-17. Cooking time The cooking time depends on the quantity of food to be cooked. For example, one cup of soup will be heated in one minute, whereas five cups require five minutes. Reason: the oven has to provide five times the energy which means that it has to work five time as long.
How to cook with time, variable power and the Cootdng Nnts To ensure best results large items such as joints, poultry, etc. should be turned halfway through the cooking cycle.
