A sensor in the microwave oven detects moisture released from food as it heats, and adjusts the cooking time accordingly.

Loosen cover on 3 sides. If entrée is not in microwave-safe container, place on plate, cover with plastic wrap, and vent. 2 Bacon – 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, or 6 slices, average thickness: Follow directions on package. 3 French Toast – 1 or 2 pieces: Follow directions on package. 4 Cereal – 1, 2, 3, or 4 servings: Follow directions on package. Use microwave-safe bowl with high sides. 5 Rice – Senses 0.5-2.0 cups (125-500 mL) dry, white long grain: Follow measurements on package for ingredient amounts. Use microwave-safe dish with loose-fitting lid.
