Boil & Simmer
The Boil & Simmer menu has a selection of main food categories,
plus a shortcut to Manual Simmer Cook (see “Time/Temp/Power
Cooking” section).
Boil & Simmer is a sensor function, and uses only microwaves to
simmer your food.
See “Cook Method Chart” for specific food items and amounts.
■
Follow recommended water and food amounts that appear
on the display.
■
Use the provided steamer vessel base and lid, or a
microwave-safe dish with a loose-fitting lid.
■
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 microwave
oven, as the rush of steam will disrupt the sensor readings.
To Use: Touch “Cook Method” on Main Menu, touch “More
Choices,” and then “Boil & Simmer.” Follow screen prompts to
make your selections, prepare your food for simmering, and start
the cycle.
Simmering Pasta
The water will need to boil before adding the pasta. Place the
dish of water, covered, in the microwave oven and begin the
cycle. When the water boils, the microwave oven will stop and
prompt you to add the pasta. If manually simmering, place the
covered dish of water in the microwave oven, and set a simmer
time of 1 second. The water will start to boil, the 1-second
simmer time will end, and the microwave oven will stop.
Using oven mitts, gently remove the covered dish of boiling
water, add the pasta, recover, place the dish back in the
microwave oven and continue the cycle.
Simmering Rice
Place food and water/liquid, covered, in the microwave 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.
Sizzle Pan
The Sizzle Pan menu has a selection of main food categories,
plus a shortcut to Manual Sizzle Pan (see “Time/Temp/Power
Cooking” section).
Sizzle Pan function uses microwaves, and sometimes the grill
element. Microwaves quickly heat the pan, while the grill element
browns (or crisps) the food from above.
Some Sizzle Pan cycles are programmed to preheat the empty
pan for 3 minutes before cooking begins. When the preheating
cycle is complete, the microwave oven will stop and prompt you
to add the food to the Sizzle Pan. The microwave oven may
prompt you to turn over the food during the cycle.
See “Cook Method Chart” for specific food items and amounts.
■
The microwave oven cavity and door will become very hot
during the Sizzle Pan cycle. The use of oven mitts is
recommended.
■
The Sizzle Pan will become very hot. Use oven mitts to grasp
and remove the pan from the microwave oven. Do not place
hot Sizzle Pan directly on heat-sensitive surfaces. Damage
may occur.
■
Use detachable handle when handling hot Sizzle Pan.
■
Do not use plastic utensils on the Sizzle Pan, as it becomes
very hot quickly and could melt the utensils.
■
Do not use metal utensils, as they can scratch the pan.
■
Do not use the Sizzle Pan in any other microwave oven or in a
standard thermal oven.
■
Do not place the Sizzle Pan on the grill rack or the convection
rack. Always use the turntable as a support for the pan.
■
For best results, coat the Sizzle Pan lightly with cooking oil to
make removing food and cleaning the pan easier.
■
When the grill element is in use, the cooling fan turns on and
stays on for up to 10 minutes after the cycle is over.
To Use: Touch “Cook Method” on Main Menu, touch “More
Choices,” and then “Sizzle Pan.” Follow screen prompts to make
your selections, prepare your food and/or Sizzle Pan for cooking,
and start the cycle.
