Stir, turn or rearrange the food about halfway through the cooking time for most even doneness
with all recipes.

If a glass cover IS not available, use waxpaper, paper towels or Saran 1 Wrap. Turn back a corner
to vent steam during cooking.

When usrng microwave recipes from other cookbooks or sources, slightly longer cooking times
