REHEAT AND COOK

CONTAINERS AND COVERS

Containers and Covers

Appropriate containers and coverings help assure good cooking results.

•Always use microwave-safe containers and cover

them with lids or vented plastic wrap. Wonder if

it's microwave-safe? Put it to the test described in the Microwaving Tips section.

•Never use tight-sealing plastic covers--they

can prevent steam from escaping and cause food to overcook.

Match the amount of food to the size of the container. Fill containers at least half full for best results.

Be sure the outside of the cooking container and the inside of the microwave oven are dry before placing food in the oven. Beads of moisture turning into steam can mislead the sensor.

Stir or rotate some foods after a beeping signal, if required. See the Sensor Cooking Control

Guide section.

•Be sure outside of container and inside of oven are dry.
