Allow for difference in individual tastes and preferences. The times may also vary due to the shape, cut, and composition of the food.
To heat or reheat successfully in the microwave, it is important to follow several guidelines. Measure the amount of food in order to determine the time needed to reheat. Arrange the food in a circular pattern for best results. Room temperature food will heat faster than refrigerated food. Canned foods should be taken out of the can and placed in a microwavable container. The food will be heated more evenly if covered with a microwavable lid or plastic wrap and vented.

Questions and Answers Operation Question Answer Why is the oven light not on during cooking? There may be several reasons why the oven light is not on. Have you: • Set a cook time? • Touched START? Why does steam come out of the air exhaust vent? Steam is normally produced during cooking. The microwave oven has been designed to vent this steam. Will the microwave oven be damaged if it operates empty? Yes. Never operate the oven empty or without the glass turntable.
Questions and Answers (continued) Food Question Answer Why are scrambled eggs sometimes a little dry after cooking? Eggs wilt dry out when they are overcooked, even if the same recipe is used each time. The cooking time may need to be varied for one of these reasons: • Eggs vary in size. • Eggs are at room temperature one time and at refrigerator temperature another time. • Eggs continue cooking during standing time.
