Important things to remember to get the BESTCOOKING RESULTS.
l ALWAYS cook food for the mrnrmum recommended cooking time If necessary, add time in one or two minute periods, then check for doneness to avoid overcooking the food.
l Stir, turn or rearrange the food about halfway through the cooking time for most even doneness with all recipes.
l If a glass cover is not available, use waxpaper, paper towels or Saran@ Wrap. Turn back a corner to vent steam during cooking.

be needed for those recipes calling for “High”or”Full”cook power. For example, add 1to 2 minutes to a 5 minute cooking time.
