/
additional time cooking. Use TIME COOK and

ing Auto Cook, just as in regular microwaving.

tables stand for up to 5 minutes depending on size
and density of pieces. This standing time also en-
hances the overall flavor and appearance of most

combining the sauce with potatoes, there may have
been too much remaining moisture in the oven.

by sensing steam in the oven. Also, starting Auto
Cook with hot foods creates steam in the oven too
soon, and decreasesthe fh%tsensing cycle,
