Shallow packages will defrost more quickly than thick blocks.

■

Separate food pieces as soon as possible during or at the
end of the cycle for more even defrosting.

Simmering Pasta

The water will need to boil before adding the pasta. Place the
dish of water, covered, in the oven and begin the cycle. When the
water boils, the oven will stop and prompt you to add the pasta. If
manually simmering, place the covered dish of water in the oven,
and set a simmer time of 1 second. The water will start to boil,
the 1-second simmer time will end, and the oven will stop.

Using oven mitts, gently remove the covered dish of boiling
water, add the pasta, re-cover, place the dish back in the oven
and continue the cycle.

Simmering Rice

Place food and water/liquid, covered, in the oven and begin the
cycle. The sensor determines when the water starts to boil, and
figures the simmer time, which will begin counting down in the
display.
