ALWAYS cook food for the minimum recommended cooking time. If neces- sary, add time in one or two minute periods, then check for doneness to avoid overcooking the food.

Stir, turn or rearrange the food being cooked about halfway through the cooking time for most even doneness with all recipes.

If a glass cover is not available, use waxpaper, paper towels or microwave approved plastic wrap. Turn back a corner to vent steam during cooking.
