Lower temperature requires longer cooking time. Frozen
food needs longer heating time than common food.
As the microwave cavity is smaller it will retain a higher level of
humidity, larger humidity levels result in shorter cooking time.
As the microwave can only penetrate 2-4cm into the food,
the thickness of the food will influence the cooking time.
Heating times are different between dense food
(meats) and loose(peas) food. The former requires
longer time.
The selected power level of the microwave is a certain value, and
will not change along with the quantity of the food. Therefore larger
quantity of food requires longer cooking time.
Bones have quicker heat transmission, and fats absorb more
energy. Therefore please pay attention to the overheat
possibility in cooking the meat with bones and fats.
The production of heat and vapour can be reduced by
placing the food into a container with a cover, this will
shorten the cooking time.
Please form the food in circular shape during cooking,
and avoid piling up as far as possible. It can improve
the evenness.

preserve the moisture and nutrition.
When the food is removed from the microwave oven, the
inside of the food is still heating. Place it aside for some time.
Take the factor of duration into consideration.
