Use:

• When cooking foods that may splatter, close and lock the lid.
• When using a microwave with inverter technology and cooking less than 2 cups (500 mL) of liquid, reduce the cooking time at MEDIUM (50% power) by 5 minutes. Follow your microwave oven manufacturer’s guidelines regarding power adjustments.
• When melting butter or margarine:
  • Do not allow margarine or butter to bubble or boil.
  • Remove from the microwave before the butter is completely melted. The residual heat will finish your melting.
  • Generally, ½ cup (125 mL) of butter melts in 40–45 seconds on HIGH.
• When cooking foods that are high in fat or sugar, check them frequently to prevent overheating. These types of food can discolor the surface of the product if overheated.
• Do not brown rice in the Micro-Cooker^®. Always cook rice with liquid.
• Do not use this product for popcorn.
