Auto sensor cook is a revolutionary way to cook by microwave
without setting a power level or selecting a time. All that is
necessary is to select an auto sensor program before
starting to cook.
Understanding Auto sensor cooking
As food cooks, a certain amount of steam is produced. If the
food is covered, this steam builds up and eventually escapes
from the container. In auto sensor cooking, a carefully designed
instrument, called the humidity sensor element, senses the
escape of steam. then, based upon the auto sensor program
selected, the unit will automatically determine the correct power
level and the proper length of time it will take to cook the food.
NOTE: Auto sensor cooking is successful with the foods and recipes found in the auto sensor cooking guide. Because of
the vast differences in food composition, items not mentioned in the cooking guide should be prepared in the microwave
oven using the power select and time features. Please consult variable power microwave cook book for procedures .
