TO CHECK A DISH
FOR SAFE MICROWAVE COOKING
PLACE THE EMPTY DISH
IN THE OVEN AND MICROWAVE
FOR 30 SECONDS ON HIGH.
A HOT DISH IS NOT USABLE.
Adding Moisture
Microwave energy is attracted to water molecules. Food
that is uneven in moisture content should be covered or
allowed to stand so that the heat disperses evenly. Add a
small amount of water to dry food to help it cook.
