ALWAYS cook food for the minimum recommended cooking time. If necessary, add time in one or two minute periods, then check for doneness to avoid overcooking the food.
Stir, turn or rearrange the food about halfway through the cooking time for most even doneness with all recipes.
If a glass cover ISnot available, use waxpaper, paper towels or Saran 1 Wrap. Turn back a corner to vent steam during cooking.
l When usrng microwave recipes from other cookbooks or sources, slightly longer cooking times will be needed for those recipes calling for “HIGH” or “FULL’cook power For example, add 1to 2 minutes to a 5 minute cooking time
