Additional Tips
• Batters and dough foods and also uncooked foods which need to be prepared
from scratch should be cooked without the oven shelf, following Cookbook
directions.
• Use potholders when handling foods heated together with your oven shelf,
especially when heating larger amounts of food in 8-inch square or other 2-
quart size casseroles. Extra steam generated from multiple food cooking may
make utensils hotter than with regular microwaving.
• Do not store or use microwave browning dish on metal shelf. Arcing could
OCCUr.
Important Reminders
• The rack should not be used when cooking a single item. Always remove the
rack from the oven after cooking multiple dishes. Operating the oven with the
rack still in place and no food in the oven could result in damage to the oven
or rack.
• Meat items, like roast and poultry should always be in a container on the rack
--not directly on the rack itself. When cooking instructions specify placing
meat or poultry on a rack or trivet, they are referring to a microwave cooking
accessory which is placed in a dish to keep the food above fats and juices.
The oven rack is not designed for that purpose.
• Use the lower rack level when microwaving high profile roasts to prevent the
roast from touching the top of the oven.
