is
standing
time recommended after microwave

always
cook
as
fast
as
the
cooking guide says?
A. Check your
cooking guide again
to
make
sure
you've
followed directions
correctly,
and
to
see
what
might
cause
variations in
cooking
time.
Cooking guide
times and heat
settings
are
suggestions,
chosen
to
help
prevent
overcooking,
the
most
common
problem
in
getting
used
to
a
microwave
oven.
Variations in the
size,
shape, weight
and dimensions of
the food
require longer cooking
time. Use your
own
judgement along
with
the
cooking guide suggestions
to test
food
condition,
lust
as
you would do
with
a
conventional cooker.
