Guide to Use of the
Spacemaker Shelf
The two-position wire shelf is specifically designed for added capacity
heating and reheating in your Spacemaker^“ microwave oven. Now heat
ing and reheating, which are the most popular uses of microwave ovens,
may now be done in multiple quantities, so several foods are ready to
serve at the same iinrie.
When microwaving with the oven shelf, some techniques will differ from
the cookbook which came with your oven. It is important to arrange foods
properly, and this is shown on the next page. Utensil size is important:
select from among the suggestions below. Also, food size should be con
sidered; foods over 3
y
2 inches high, or 3 pounds are not recommended for
shelf cooking.
Rottore anH HQijgh foods shd also foods for oven meals using scratch
recipes should be cooked without the oven shelf, following cookbook
directions.
Use potholders when handling
foods heated together with your
oven shelf, especially when heating
larger amounts of food in 8 inch
square or other 2 quart size casse
roles. Extra steam generated from
multiple food cooking may make
utensils hotter than with regular
microwaving.
