COVERING FOODS:
Some foods work best when covered. Use the cover recom-
mended in the charts for these foods. See charts beginning at
the bottom of this page and continuing on the following pages.
You may refer to the hints by touching the
SETTINGS
pad.
Recommended covers include:
1. Casserole lid.
2. Plastic wrap: Use plastic wrap recommended for microwave
cooking. Cover dish loosely, allowing approximately 1 /
2
inch
to remain uncovered to allow steam to escape. Plastic wrap
should not touch food.
3. Wax paper: Cover dish completely, folding excess wrap under
dish to secure. If dish is wider than paper, overlap two pieces
at least one inch to cover.
Be careful when removing any covering to allow steam to
escape away from you.
