Preserving

 

 

 

 

 

Precautions:

 

 

 

 

 

Do not use your oven for home canning or the

 

 

 

 

heating of any closed jar. Pressure will build up and

 

 

 

 

the jar may explode. In addition, the microwave oven

 

 

 

 

cannot maintain the food at the correct canning

 

 

 

 

temperature. Improperly canned food may spoil and

 

 

 

 

be dangerous to consume.

 

 

 

 

Jars and Bottles

 

 

 

 

 

Jars and bottles can be used to warm food to serving

 

 

 

 

temperature. If the lid is removed first. Cooking

 

 

 

 

should not be done in these containers since most

 

 

 

 

are not heat resistant and during extended heating

 

 

 

 

times, heat from food would cause cracking or

 

 

 

 

breaking.

 

 

 

 

 

Thermometers are available for use in microwave

 

 

 

 

oven. DO NOT USE CONVENTIONAL MERCURY

 

 

 

 

TYPE CANDY OR MEAT THERMOMETERS in food

 

 

 

 

while cooking in the microwave oven.

 

 

 

 

Alternatively, a conventional meat thermometer may

 

 

 

 

be used after the food is removed from the oven.

 

 

 

 

Sterilizing Jars

 

 

 

 

 

Jam jars can be sterilized by microwave ready for

 

 

 

 

your jams. Half fill with water and heat them on HIGH

 

 

 

 

power until water boils (approx. 3 mins, for 2 jars).

 

 

 

 

Empty and drain upside down on kitchen paper, The

 

 

 

 

jars should be warm when filled with jam.

Another notable characteristic of the NN-SD786S is its sensor cooking technology. This feature automatically adjusts cooking times and power levels based on the moisture released from the food. It takes the guesswork out of microwave cooking, ensuring optimal results for a variety of dishes, ranging from casseroles to steamed vegetables.
