Frozen Cannelloni in the Microwave

Do you have frozen cannelloni and want to make them in the microwave? Here’s how. Insert the tray into the microwave and start for 10 minutes with the defrost function. After this phase, proceed in 5-minute steps with the combined microwave + grill function until you get the crust and desired cooking. If the cannelloni become too golden on the surface, turn off the grill and restart with the microwave function only, excluding the grill. Be careful not to use too high power, otherwise, the cannelloni tend to dry out.
