Using Your Microwave Oven
Using EASY SIMMER
Your microwave oven lets you simmer soups, casseroles, stews, and other liquid foods. All you do is set a simmer time and your oven will bring your food to a boil and then simmer it for the time you specify. NOTES: � You cannot change the cook power or doneness for EASY SIMMER. This function uses the sensor. The sensor needs 2 minutes, 30 seconds to warm up after the oven is connected to power or after a power failure. If you start EASY SIMMER during the warm-up, microwave energy will not be turned on until the sensor is warm. � When cooking vegetables, increase amount of water to 1�4 to 1�2 cup (63 - 125 mL).

When simmering foods like pasta
Use a container that can hold enough water to cover the food completely when cooking, such as a 3quart (12-cup [3 L]) casserole with a lid. When cooking pasta or noodles, add 1 tbsp (14.8 mL) oil to the water before boiling. Use the following method. Place container with water in the oven and follow Steps 2-4, setting the simmer time at 1 second. At the end of the signal, place the food in the water and stir until completely covered by water. Cover. Repeat Steps 2-4, setting the simmer time you want.
Changing instructions
You can change the simmering time while simmering by repeating Steps 3 and 4.
