essential for best sensor cooking.
• Always use microwave-safe containers
and cover them with lids or vented
plastic wrap. Never use tight-sealing
plastic covers— they can prevent
steam from escaping and cause food to
overcook.
• Be sure the outside of the cooking
container and the inside of the microwave
oven are dry before placing food in the
oven. Beads of moisture turning into steam
can mislead the sensor.
