Any microwave can handle<br />
opcorn and other snacks. But<br />
ccording to the editors of<br />
onsumer Reports, the latest<br />

aby-back pork ribs, chicken<br />
armigiana and more than 100<br />
ther frozen meals.<br />
Dubbed TrueCookPlus, the<br />
oftware adjusts heating accordng<br />
to a food code that’s punched<br />
n, as well as to the home’s altiude,<br />
based on its ZIP code. <strong>The</strong><br />
eature worked in CR’s initial<br />
ests. But Betty Crocker Warm<br />
elights Minis cake is among<br />
he few foods so far with the<br />

ill have to get other food codes<br />

Tae Kwon Do is the Korean martial art. Which<br />
the native Korean people have grown up with<br />
throughout history. It creates spiritual balance<br />
through physical activity. It originated from<br />
the efforts to balance mind and body through<br />
harmony of power, actions an the need to<br />
control the mind.<br />

$150, a CR Best Buy. Top-rated<br />
over-the-range models include<br />
the Samsung SMH7187, $300, a<br />
CR Best Buy, and the Kenmore<br />
Elite 8082, $630.<br />
CR’s months of testing<br />
revealed several ways to save on<br />
a microwave:<br />
— Get better browning for<br />
less. Some lower-priced models<br />
have a grilling feature that uses<br />
an electric element like the one<br />
in an oven’s broiler. But it’s still<br />
possible to pay $600 or more for<br />
models that have it. A top midsized<br />
convection model that cost<br />
$250 and didn’t have the grilling<br />
feature gave crispy grilledcheese<br />
sandwiches. <strong>The</strong> convection<br />
mode can also be used for<br />
browner, crispier chicken.<br />
— Don’t pay extra for racks.<br />
Most over-the-range models now<br />
include an upper rack that lets<br />
users cook several foods at once.<br />
<strong>The</strong> best CR tested have that<br />
feature for as little as $260. Just<br />
be sure to check racked foods<br />
often for even cooking because<br />
