Boil & Simmer
Boil & Simmer is a sensor function, and uses only microwaves to simmer your food.
■Follow recommended water and food amounts that appear on the display.
■For best cooking results, do not use plastic wrap as a cover during the Boil & Simmer cycle.
■Use a microwavable dish with loose fitting lid.
■Times and cooking powers have been preprogrammed for a number of food types.
■Do not remove the lid while the dish is still in the oven, as the rush of steam will disrupt the sensor readings.
Use the following chart as a guide.
