IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
• Rearrange foods such as meatballs halfway
through cooking both from top to bottom and
from the center of the dish to the outside.
• Add standing time. Remove food from
microwave oven and stir, if possible. Cover
for standing time which allows the food to finish
cooking without overcooking.
• Check for doneness. Look for signs indicating
that cooking temperatures have been
reached.
