Standing time is the time for which you must leave food to "rest" before cooking. Standing time ensures that food has an even temperature throughout when cooking starts.

Compared to traditional methods, microwaves save both time and electricity. · You are recommended to heat food (particularly if frozen) to a temperature of at least 70°C (it must be piping hot!). You will not be able to eat the food at once as it will be too hot, but complete sterilisation will be guaranteed. · To heat precooked or frozen food, always observe the following rules: - remove the food from metal containers; - cover with clear film (for microwave use) or greaseproof paper. You can also cover with an upturned plate; - if possible, mix or turn frequently to make the heating process quicker and more even. Remember that in certain conditions, these times may have to be increased; · Frozen food must be defrosted before heating starts. [. . . ] The times indicated in the table are an average and must be adjusted to take account of these simple fundamental rules. · food brought to room temperature cooks more rapidly than food taken directly from the refrigerator. · the outcome of the cooking always depends on the quality and freshness of the product. · do not use the accessory if visibly damaged, broken or warped.
