NOTE: Use Power Level High (10) unless otherwise noted.

1.Directions below are for heating or reheating already-cooked foods stored in refrigerator or at room temperature. Use microwave-safe cookware.

2.Cover most foods for fastest heating. Exceptions are some sandwiches, griddle foods and baked items.

3.Bubbling around edges of dish is normal, since the center is the last to heat. Foods heated to 160°F. to 165°F. will provide safe,

palatable results. Adjust temperatures to suit your personal taste. Let foods stand a few minutes before serving.

4.Be sure foods are heated throughout before serving. Steaming or bubbling around edges of dish does not necessarily mean food is heated throughout.

If you use a meat thermometer while cooking, make sure it is safe for use in microwave ovens.
