About Your Microwave In-A-
Drawer
™
ALWAYS have food in the Drawer when it is on to absorb
the microwave energy.
The vent under the Microwave In-A-Drawer
™
must not be
blocked. During microwaving, steam may come from the
right side of the vent.
When using the Microwave In-A-Drawer
™
at power levels
below 100%, you may hear the magnetron cycling on and
off. It is normal for the exterior of the drawer to be warm
to the touch when cooking or reheating.
Condensation is a normal part of microwave cooking.
Room humidity and the moisture in food will inuence the
amount of moisture that condenses in the Drawer. Gener-
ally, covered foods will not cause as much condensation
as uncovered ones.

About Microwave Cooking
Arrange food carefully. Place thickest areas towards •
outside of dish.
Watch cooking time. Cook for the shortest amount of •
time indicated and add more as needed. Food severe-
ly overcooked can smoke or ignite.
Cover foods while cooking. Check recipe or cookbook •
for suggestions: paper towels, wax paper, microwave
plastic wrap or a lid. Covers prevent spattering and
help foods to cook evenly.
Shield with small at pieces of aluminum foil any thin •
areas of meat or poultry to prevent overcooking be-
fore dense, thick areas are cooked thoroughly.
Stir foods from outside to center of dish once or twice •
during cooking, if possible.
Turn foods over once during microwaving to speed •
cooking of such foods as chicken and hamburgers.
Large items like roasts must be turned over at least
once.
Rearrange foods such as meatballs halfway through •
cooking both from top to bottom and from right to
left.
Add standing time. Remove food from Drawer and stir, •
if possible. Cover during standing time, allowing the
food to nish cooking without overcooking.
Check for doneness. Look for signs indicating that •
cooking temperatures have been reached.
Doneness signs include:
- Food steams throughout, not just at edge.
- Poultry thigh joints move easily.
- Meat and poultry show no pinkness.
- Fish is opaque and akes easily with a fork.
