What does "standing time" mean?
As the food becomes hot it will conduct the
heat to the dish. Be prepared to use hot pads to
remove food after cooking.
"Standing time" means that after the timed cooking period
ends, food should be allowed to stand either inside or
outside of the oven to completely finish cooking. Outside
oven standing time will allow the oven to be available for
other use. For inside oven standing time, you can program
a "0" power second stage of the cooking cycle. See Two-
Stage Cooking.

Steam is normally produced during cooking. The
microwave oven has been designed to vent this steam.
