If food cooks unevenly: • be sure food is evenly shaped. • be sure food is completely defrosted before cooking. • check placement of aluminum foil strips used to prevent overcooking. If food is undercooked: • check recipe to be sure all directions (amount, time, & power levels) were correctly followed. • be sure microwave oven is on a separate circuit. • be sure food is completely defrosted before cooking.

If food is overcooked: • check recipe to be sure all directions (amount, power level, time, size of dish) were followed.
