PRECAUTIONS TO AVOID POSSIBLE EXPOSURE TO EXCESSIVE MICROWAVE ENERGY (a) Do not attempt to operate this oven with the door open since open-door operation can result in harmful exposure to microwave energy. It is important not to defeat or tamper with the safety interlocks. (b) Do not place any object between the oven front face and the door or allow soil or cleaner residue to accumulate on sealing surfaces. (c) Do not operate the oven if it is damaged. [. . . ] In a 2-quart casserole, combine onion, bell pepper, and garlic. Cook, uncovered, on P-HI for 3 minutes or until red pepper is crisp-tender; drain spinach and squeeze dry. Add spinach, artichokes hearts, cream cheese, lemon juice, salt and hot pepper sauce to red pepper mixture; stir to mix well. 3 cups 21 EGGS AND CHEESE Eggs and cheese are delicate foods requiring care in microwave cooking. Piercing the yolks of eggs helps to release steam during cooking. Stirring egg mixtures frequently helps distribute the heat evenly. Because the microwave energy cooks so quickly, always check to see if the eggs are done to your satisfaction after the standing time. At this time, stir, rearrange or turn over. If needed, add additional time gradually. To cook only one egg, try a lower Power setting until you get satisfactory results. Shredded soft cheeses and grated hard cheeses melt well if stirred into a hot mixture. Cheese may not look melted so always stir before determining if cheese is melted enough. Sprinkle cheese over a hot casserole in a thicker layer at the edges. Microwave energy cooks from the outside in, so the outer edges will melt faster than the center. For cheese melt sandwiches, heat filling where possible before adding it to the bread. Top each sandwich with a slice of cheese and cook on P-HI for about 15 to 20 seconds for one sandwich, about 30 seconds for two sandwiches and about 1 minute for four sandwiches or until cheese is melted. HARD-COOKED EGGS 4 eggs 1. Cook for 2 minutes; stir to move cooked eggs from outer edges to the center - do not mix whites and yolks.
