Guide to Use of the
Spacemaker@Shelf
The two-position wire shelf is specifically designed for added capacity
heating and reheating in your Spacemaker@ microwave oven. Now heat-
ing and reheating, which are the most popular uses of microwave ovens,
may now be done in multiple quantities, so several foods are ready to
serve at the same time.
When microwaving with the oven shelf, some techniques will differ from
the cookbook which came with your oven. It is important to arrange foods
properly, and this is shown on the next page. Utensil size is important;
select from among the suggestions below. Also, food size should be con-
sidered; foods over 3% inches high, or 3 pounds are not recommended for
shelf cooking.
Batters and dough foods and also foods for oven meals using scratch
recipes should be cooked without the oven shelf, following cookbook
directions.

Use potholders when handling
foods heated together with your
oven shelf, especially when heating
larger amounts of food in 8 inch
square or other 2 quart size casse-
roles. Extra steam generated from
multiple food cooking may make
utensils hotter than with regular
microwaving.
Utensils for Shelf Heating and Reheating
Before placing food in the dishes you plan to use for shelf microwaving, check to see that they will fit together on
or
under the shelf. Also, be sure utensils are microwave safe.
