@ALWAYS cook food for the minimum recommended cooking time. Then check for doneness to avoid overcooking the food.

l Stir, turn over or rearrange food being cooked about halfway through the cook time for most even doneness with all recipes.

l If a glass cover is not available, use wax paper, paper towels or microwave- approved plastic wrap. Turn back a corner to vent steam during cooking.
