2 INSTRUCTIONS 1. Hold handles and twist the top counter-clockwise to open as shown in image Place microwave safe plate or bowl on plate platform in Turbo Cooker. 3. Replace top by aligning arrows as shown in image 2, then fasten the top by holding base handles and turning it clockwise until handles are aligned and top is secure. 4. Place into microwave for recommended or desired time. NOTE: Turbo Cooker is not meant to hold food directly. All food must be placed on a microwave safe plate or bowl inside Turbo Cooker. For best results make sure there is a tight seal between the top and base. If seal is not tight, try rotating the top counter-clockwise 180 degrees then reseal. TURBO COOKER IS DISHWASHER SAFE. Image 1 Image 2 TWIST TO OPEN STARTING TEMPERATURE Foods that are at room temperature take less time to cook than if they are chilled, refrigerated, or frozen. COOKING TIME A range of cooking time is provided with each recipe. The time range is intended to compensate for uncontrollable differences in food shapes, starting temperatures, and regional preferences. Cooking time will also vary depending on the power of each individual microwave and setting. All recipes included are cooked on HIGH and based on a 1250W microwave. REST TIME A recommended wait time before consuming food after it has been removed from the microwave. This allows juices and sauces to be redistributed while the food begins to cool. CAUTION The Turbo Cooker is a sealed cooking vessel that uses heat, steam, and pressure to shorten cooking times. Therefore, it is very important to let the Turbo Cooker cool per the instructions before opening. Failing to do so may result in burns or other injury. Even after cooling, use caution when opening your Turbo Cooker.

3 FOOD SAFETY & COOKING TEMPERATURE Check foods to see that they are cooked to the United States Department of Agriculture s recommended temperatures. To test for doneness, insert a meat thermometer in a thick or dense area away from fat or bone. NEVER leave the thermometer in the food during cooking, unless it is approved for microwave oven use.
