➤ Cover liquid or steaming food, unless it should remain crispy.
➤ Food containing little liquid must be covered over when being heated up to prevent it drying out.
➤ Stir or turn the food halfway through time.
➤ At the end of cooking, allow the food to stand in the cooking space for more even heating (standing time).
➤ Avoid opening the appliance door frequently.
