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.
CONVERTING 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 sandwich in a paper
towel. Remove wrapping immediately after
warming. It takes less than 1 minute to heat
most sandwiches. Heat on power level 8.
• 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.
CONVERTING SOUP RECIPES
• When cooking canned soups, remove from
can. Use microwave-safe dish. Add milk or
water as directed on can. Cover dish.
• Stir cream-style soup halfway through
cooking time. Let stand, covered, 3 minutes
before serving.
