Operating Instructions

The AHJ Microwave Grill Pan is designed to brown and crisp food quickly in your microwave. Cooking times may vary based on your microwave's wattage and the type/quantity of food.

General Cooking Steps

1. Preheat (Recommended): For best browning and crisping results, lightly brush the cooking surface with a small amount of cooking oil. Place the empty grill pan with the lid on into your microwave and preheat for 1-2 minutes.
2. Prepare Food: Place your food directly onto the preheated grill pan.
3. Cover: Place the lid securely on the grill pan.
4. Microwave: Place the covered grill pan into the microwave. Cook for the recommended time (see examples below) or until desired doneness is achieved.
5. Flip (if needed): For even browning, you may need to flip the food halfway through the cooking process.
6. Serve: Carefully remove the hot grill pan from the microwave using oven mitts. Serve immediately.

Cooking Time Guidelines (Approximate, for 600-1000W microwaves)

• Bacon: 3-5 minutes (adjust for crispiness).
