Meal-In-One
Benefits of Oven Meals
The metal rack enables you to microwave a
number of recipes at the same time. Saving
frequent returns to the microwave oven.
Tips for Meal-In-One Cooking
• Place slow cooking food on rack; fast
cooking foods on shelf. Add a very fast
cooking food later as you would
conventionally.
• Stagger food so that it is not directly
above another food.
• Check your meal while cooking. Stir if
needed and add or remove food as
required for the results you desire.
• Turn or rotate dense food such as
a roast.
How To
cooking food half way through and extra-
extra short cooking food during the last 1
to 2 minutes.
2. Cook on High
Meals cook on 100% (HIGH) because the
increased quantity of foods cuts the
microwave energy available to each food.
If foods contain a lot of sensitive
ingredients, or less tender cuts of meat,
you may need to lower the setting to 70%
(ROAST) just as you would on the
conventional range.
3. Decide Cooking Time
Overleaf are some typical foods you might
prepare as a main dish in a meal. F ollow
steps 1 and 2 above using the cooking time
ranges overleaf as a guide to
making your own microwave oven meals.

placed on the oven's rack where they
receive most microwuve energy when
several foods are cooking at once. Foods
that cook or heat quickly are placed on the
ceramic bottom shelf w^here there is less
energy and cooking is more gentle.
Stagger food in the oven w^henever
possible as you do in conventional cooking.
Place long and short cooking food in the
oven at tfe same time. Add extra short
When is Food Done?
Since foods cook at slightly different rates
w^hen more than one dish is cooking, one
food may need to cook a few' extra minutes
after others have been removed. Continue
cooking it alone at the chosen meal setting.
Experiment to deteimiine w'hen to add
dishes.
Check foods at first time given, remove
those that are done and add more time for
foods that need to continue cooking.
