SOUPS AND SANDWICHES
A large variety of sandwich combinations can be
made in your microwave oven. Because
sandwiches heat quickly, be careful not to
overcook them - the bread can become tough and
chewy. Heat breads until warm, not hot, and
cheese until it just begins to melt. Let the following
tips guide you when adapting or creating your own
sandwiches.
SANDWICH RECIPES
■ Heat sandwiches on white paper towels or
paper plates. To prevent splattering, as well as
to absorb steam and prevent sogginess, you
can wrap each sanwich in a paper towel.
Remove wrapping immediately after warming. It
takes less than 1 minute to heat most
sandwiches. Heat on power level 8 (80%).
■ Thinly sliced meat heats better than thickly
sliced meat. The slower-cooking thick slices
often cause the bread to overcook before the
meat is hot.
SOUP RECIPES
■ When cooking canned soups, remove from can.
Use microwave-safe dish. Add milk or water as
directed on can.Stir halfway through cooking
time.
■ Stir cream-style soup halfway through cooking
time. Let stand, covered, 3 minutes before
serving.
