The following factors may affect the cooking result:
Food arrangement
Place thicker areas towards outside of the dish, the thinner part
towards the centre and spread it evenly. Do not overlap if possible.
Cooking time length
Start cooking with a short time setting, evaluate it after it times
out and extend it according to the actual need. Over cooking may
result in smoke and burns.
Cooking food evenly
Food such as chicken, hamburger or steak should be turned once
during cooking.
Depending on the type of food, if applicable, stir it from the outside
to the centre of the dish once or twice during cooking.
Allow standing time
After cooking times out, leave the food in the oven for an adequate
length of time, this allows it to complete its cooking cycle and cools
it down in a gradual manner.
Whether the food is done
Colour and hardness of food helps to determine if it is done, these
include:
- Steam coming out of all parts of food, not just the edge.
- Joints of poultry can be moved easily.
- Pork or poultry show no signs of blood.
- Fish is opaque and can be sliced easily with a fork.

a heat-resistant insulator such as a porcelain plate under it to
prevent damage to the turntable and rotating ring.
