FOR BEST RESULTS
• Foods should be cooked in a microwave safe
container, either plastic, pyrex or ceramic.
• Moist foods will cook more evenly because
microwave energy heats water molecules
very efficiently. Add approximately 1
tablespoon of water per 4oz/115g of food.
• For optimal results, arrange larger and thicker
foods such as broccoli or the thick end of a
chicken drumstick around the edges of the
turntable. This allows maximum penetration
of the microwaves through the food during
cooking.
• Stir foods such as casseroles and soups
from the outside to the center to distribute
heat more evenly. Constant stirring is not
necessary.
• Small pieces of food cook faster than large
ones. Pieces similar in size and shape will
cook more evenly when cooked together.
• Let the food stand after removing from the
microwave. Keep covered and stand for
approximately 5 minutes. Note, standing
time will depend on the food type, density
and surface area.
• Be careful when removing lids or plastic wrap
from your microwave cooked foods. Steam
can build up and cause serious burns on face
or hands.
Popcorn
The SMART COOK POPCORN setting is
designed to pop the maximum number of
kernels in each bag.
Place the bag in the center of the turntable and
press START to begin cooking.
Potatoes
For the SMART COOK POTATOES setting,
the Sensor IQ technology will automatically
calculate the cooking time for the optimal
food result.
Cook times are based on potatoes being at
room temperature (approx. 70°F/20°C).
Before cooking, pierce each potato with a fork
5–6 times and simply place the whole potatoes
on a single layer around the outer edge of the
turntable surface.
