MICROWAVE COOKING ADVICE MICROWAVE COOKING To cook/defrost food in a microwave oven, the microwave energy must be able to pass through the container to penetrate the food. Therefore it is important to choose suitable cookware. Round/oval dishes are preferable to square/oblong ones as the food in the corners tends to overcook. It is important to turn, rearrange or stir food to ensure even heating. Standing time is necessary after cooking as it enables the heat to disperse equally throughout the food.
MICROWAVE COOKING Your oven can be programmed for up to 90 minutes. (90.00) The input unit of cooking time varies from 10 seconds to five minutes. It depends on the total length of the cooking time as shown on the table.
