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.
