Operating Instructions

Follow these general steps for cooking with your Nordic Ware Microwave Multi-Boiler. Specific cooking times may vary based on your microwave's wattage and desired food consistency.

General Cooking Steps:

1. Add Ingredients: Place your desired food (e.g., rice, pasta, vegetables) into the multi-boiler.

7. Serve: Carefully remove the lid and serve your freshly cooked meal.
