With microwave cooking, the heat is in the food, not in the oven. Many foods build up enough internal heat to allow the cooking process to continue, even after the food is removed from the oven. Standing time for joints of meat, large vegetables and cakes is to allow the inside to cook completely, without overcooking the outside. * 4  :KDW GRHV ´VWDQGLQJ WLPHµ PHDQ" * A : "Standing time" means that food should be removed from the oven and covered for additional time to allow it to finish cooking.
