The cooking times shown here are intended as guidelines and apply to an amount suitable for 4 portions, cooked at the Speed Setting. Using the Gentle Setting will increase the cooking time by about 50 %, but this will still be far less than would be necessary with conventional cooking. The exact cooking times depend upon the size and freshness of the food. It won’t take long for you to develop a feeling for this.
