Boil & Simmer
Boil & Simmer is a sensor function, and uses only microwaves to
simmer your food.
■
Follow recommended water and food amounts that appear on
the display.
■
For best cooking results, do not use plastic wrap as a cover
during the Boil & Simmer cycle.
■
Do not remove the lid while the dish is still in the oven, as the
rush of steam will disrupt the sensor readings.
■
Use a microwave-safe dish with a loose-fitting lid.
Use the following chart as a guide.
