While cooking desserts or vegetables, excessive condensation may form on the glass. In order to avoid this, open the door very carefully a couple of times while cooking. 9. 1. 2 Advice for cooking meat · · Cooking times, especially for meat, vary according to the thickness and quality of the food and to consumer's taste.
