Microwave Cooking - Deni 1830 Use And Care Instructions Manual

1830 Instructions 7/16/03
SPECIAL COOKING OPTIONS
Boil-in-Bag Cooking
Foods cooked by the boil-in-bag method
retain a high level of flavor and nutrients.
FRESHLOCK polyethylene bags can be used for
boil-in-bag cooking. As an added precaution, it is
recommended that food in a FRESHLOCK can be
placed inside a second, larger FRESHLOCK bag
and vacuum sealed before cooking.
1. Fill a large saucepan with water and bring to a
full boil.
2. Add FRESHLOCK bag to the saucepan. Do
not cover. Do not puncture the bag.
3. Bring to a second boil and reduce heat.
Maintain low boil.
4. Cooking time is measured from the second
boil. Cook soups approximately 6-8 minutes;
sauces 8-10 minutes; pre-cooked chicken and
casseroles 12-16 minutes. Add approximately
2-4 minutes cooking time for frozen foods or for
quantities of more than 16 ounces.
5. Do not cook longer than approximately 20
minutes. Large quantities should be defrosted
before cooking.

Foods stored in "Deni" FRESHLOCK
polyethylene bags can be cooked or reheated in a
microwave oven.
1. Place the bag on a microwave-safe plate or
dish.
2. Puncture the bag several times with a fork to
allow steam to escape during microwave
cooking.
3. Consult your microwave booklet for the proper
times to heat commercially prepared boil-in-bag
foods.
