Cooking Instructions
Guide for Cooking & Browning
•
Always use microwave and heat-safe cooking utensils:
•
Cover food with wax paper, plastic wrap or lids during microwave time; remove during browning.
•
Always use the metal rack that comes with your oven when you want to get better browning unless the food is very high, like whole chicken or
meat loaf. The rack is very helpful for quick browning.
•
The browner time given below is for browning on one side of the food only. If browning is desired on both sides, turn food over and brown for the
same amount of time as the first side.
•
Place dish on the metal rack on glass tray or the foods directly on the metal rack after microwaving and draining.
•
Preheating is not necessary. However, preheating will increase browning if desired.
