- Page 12 USING THE MICROWAVE-ONLY FUNCTION FOR COOKING MEATS When using the microwave-only function to cook meat, you should cover the meat with plastic wrap made for microwave oven use; in this way, the heat is distributed better and you will prevent the loss of juices that often leads to dried-up and stringy meat.

Because it is a dehydrating agent, salt must be added only when the cooking is finished or during the standing time. It is correct to say that the temperature required for cooking rice in a microwave oven (as is true also for pasta) is more or less the same as that needed to cook this foodstuff over a burner on a regular stove.
