Microwave Time Cooking
Time cooking is a familiar
method of cooking food for a
predetermined length of time.
You will find that cooking with
microwave energy takes a great
deal less time than conventional
cooking methods. And your
microwave oven, unlike many
other ovens, turns itself off
automatically after the preset
time has elapsed.
You can even program your oven to
Microwave Cook by time in two
stages! Cook at one power level for
a desired length of time; then the
oven automatically changes to a
different power
level
and continues
cooking until the food is done.
Check the cookbook for foods
requiring two power levels.

Questions and Answers
Q. I touched the number pads to
enter cooking time but nothing
happened. Why?
A. The Microwave COOK pad
must be touched before setting the
number pads or the oven will not
accept the number entries.
Q.
I set my oven to Microwave
COOK by time for the period in
the recipe, but the food wasn’t
done at the end of that time.
What happened?
A. Since house electrical power
may vary, many microwave time
cooking recipes give you a time
range to prevent overcooking. Set
the oven for the minimum time, test
the food for doneness, and cook a
little longer if necessary.
