    *The reason I like the glass top, because you can see it cooking and the steam helps. If you cover with foil, and keep removing foil it lets steam escape and will become dry and take longer to cook. You can also fill the cored out part with different things from meats, seafood, veggies, etc. This depends on how big you core the hole. I just do a little one to fit the garlic.
