Cooking Instructions
General  Tips 
Dense foods, such as potatoes, take longer to heat than lighter 
foods. Foods with a delicate texture should be heated at a low power 
level to avoid becoming tough.
Altitude and the type of cookware you are using can affect cooking 
time. When using a new recipe, use the minimum cooking time and 
check the food occasionally to prevent overcooking.
Foods with a non-porous skin or shell, such as potatoes, eggs, or hot 
dogs, should be pierced to prevent bursting.
Frying with heating oil or fat is not recommended.  Fat and oil can 
suddenly boil over and cause severe burns.
Some ingredients heat faster than others. For example, the jelly 
inside a jelly doughnut will be hotter than the dough. Keep this in 
mind to avoid burns.
Home canning in the microwave oven is not recommended because 
all harmful bacteria may not be destroyed by the microwave heating 
process.
Although microwaves do not heat the cookware, the heat is often 
transferred to the cookware. Always use pot holders when removing 
food from the microwave and instruct children to do the same.
General Tips for the Heater Features
Many foods, such as convenience foods, can be successfully 
prepared in the Toast & Bake Microwave Oven.  Please follow the 
manufacturer's package directions carefully for best results.
Please check your food before the time is up.  You may need to 
adjust the time for best results or personal preference.
During baking, the food may rise becoming too close to the heaters, 
which may cause the food to overcook or burn.
Baking larger dense food items, such as cakes or brownies, is not 
recommended in this oven.
For best results when baking, try to place the food toward the center 
of the crumb tray. 
Some package directions call for temperatures above 400 °F        
(425 °F, 450 °F, etc).  Set the temperature to 400 °F and add an 
additional 2 - 6 minutes.
When heating frozen dinners or frozen entrees, Speed Cook #3 or 
only microwaving is recommended.
GUIDE for Cooking Meat in Your Microwave
Place meat on a microwave-safe roasting rack in a microwave-safe 
dish.
Start meat fat-side down. Use narrow strips of aluminum foil to shield 
any bone tips or thin meat areas.
Check the temperature in several places before letting the meat 
stand the recommended time.
The following temperatures are removal temperatures. The 
temperature of the food will rise during the standing time.
