Using the rack
The rack allows several foods to be cooked or reheated at one time. There are two available rack positions. Select the rack position that maximizes space around and between the foods. Follow directions in Reheat for using the rack for reheating two stirrable casseroles. Otherwise set time and power level manually. Pay close attention to the cooking/reheating progress. Reposition the foods and reverse them from rack to oven bottom at least once during any cooking or reheating time. Using a lower power level will assist in better cooking/ reheating uniformity.
