l
Safety Rps.
l

l
Cooklng times for different foods.
Important things to remember to get the best cooklng results.
l
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.
l
Stir, turn or rearrange the food being cooked about halfway through the cooking time for
most even doneness with all recipes.
l
If a glass cover is not available, use waxpaper, paper towels or a microwave approved
plastic wrap. Turn back corner to vent steam during cooking.
l
When using microwave recipes from cookbooks or sources other than the MICRO MENUS@
Cookbook, slightly longer cooking times will be needed. For example, add 1 to 2 minutes
to a 5 minute cooking time.
