Boil & Simmer is a sensor function, and uses only microwaves to
simmer your food.
• Follow recommended water and food amounts that appear
on the display.
• Use the provided steamer vessel base and lid, or a
microwavable dish with a loose-fitting lid.
• For best cooking results, do not use plastic wrap as a cover
during the Boil & Simmer cycle.
• Do not remove the lid while the dish is still in the oven, as the
rush of steam will disrupt the sensor readings.
