secondphase ofminutes counting
down. All the cookingis completed
in the first phase or Auto.
A. Mostvegetablesare cookedto
a crisp state during Auto Cook,
just as inregular microwaving.
Therefore, it is recommended that
youlet the vegetablesstand for up
to 5minutes depending on sizeand
densityof pieces. This standing
timealso enhances the overall
flavorand appearance of most
vegetables.
Q.WhatM1don’tfullycoverthe

which shortensthe cookingtime
thusleavingundercooked food.

Q. Myscallopedpotatoeswere
notcormpleteiycookedwhenI
removedthedishafterAuto
cook. what is wrong?
A. If you prepared the sauce in the
ovenprior to combining the sauce
with potatoes, there-mayhavebeen
too much remaining moisture in
the oven. Make sure youdry the
ovencompletely beforeusing Auto
Cook since this function operates
properly by sensing steamin the
oven. Also, starting Auto Cook
with hot foodscreates steam in the
oventoo soon, and decreases the
first sensing icycle.
Q.mypbstk containers

A. No, most types ofplastic

properly during Automatic
