Based on Country slices. Having read 15 of such directions, I tried this and it tastes much like the famous brand without too much fuss.
Our combination microwave is so efficient, it doesn't burn too much energy to bring it to 180°C in preheating, on the bottom shelf this gives great results. Use the quicker time if you preheat!
