For best results and more enjoyable cooking, please read these
comments thoroughly.
For Best Results:
1. When determining the time for a particular food, begin by using minimum
time and checking condition occasionally. It is easy to overcook food
because microwaves cook very quickly.
2. Small quantities of food or foods with low water content may dry out and
become hard if cooked too long.
Defrosting Frozen Food:
1. Foods that have been frozen can be place directly in the oven for thawing.
(Be certain to remove any metallic ties or wraps).
2. Defrost according to the Defrosting instructions found in this manual.
3. For areas of the food thawing faster than others, cover with small pieces of
aluminium foil. This helps slow down or stop the defrosting process.
4. Some foods should not be completely thawed before cooking. For example,
fish cooks so quickly that it is sometimes better to begin cooking while still
slightly frozen.
5. It may be necessary to increase or decrease the cooking time in some
recipes, depending on the starting temperature of the food.
