MICROWAVE COOKING TIPS

Amount of food

• If you increase or decrease the amount of food you

prepare, the time it takes to cook that food will also

change. For example, if you double a recipe, add a little

more than half the original cooking time. Check for

doneness and, if necessary, add more time in small

increments.

Starting temperature of food

• The lower the temperature of the food being put into

the microwave oven, the longer it takes to cook. Food

at room temperature will be re-heated more quickly

than food at refrigerator temperature.

Composition of food

• Food with a lot of fat and sugar will be heated faster

than food containing a lot of water. Fat and sugar will

also reach a higher temperature than water in the

cooking process.

• The more dense the food, the longer it takes to heat.

Very dense food like meat takes longer to heat than

lighter, more porous food like sponge cakes.

Size and shape

• Smaller pieces of food will cook faster than larger

pieces. Also, same-shaped pieces cook more evenly

than different-shaped pieces.

• With foods that have different thicknesses, the

thinner parts will cook faster than the thicker parts.

Place the thinner parts of chicken wings and legs in the

center of the dish.

Stirring, turning foods

• Stirring and turning foods spreads heat quickly to the

center of the dish and avoids overcooking at the outer

edges of the food.

Covering food

Cover food to:

• Reduce splattering

• Shorten cooking times

• Keep food moist

Releasing pressure in foods

• Several foods (for example: baked potatoes,

sausages, egg yolks, and some fruits) are tightly

covered by a skin or membrane. Steam can build up

under the membrane during cooking, causing the food

to burst. To relieve the pressure and to prevent

bursting, pierce these foods before cooking with a fork,

cocktail pick, or toothpick.

Using standing time

• Always allow food to stand either in or out of the

oven after cooking power stops. Standing time after

defrosting and cooking allows the temperature to

evenly spread throughout the food, improving the

cooking results. For inside oven standing time, you can

program a 0 power second stage of the cooking cycle.

See cooking with more than on cook cycle cooking.

• The length of the standing time depends on how

much food you are cooking and how dense it is.

Sometimes it can be as short as the time it takes you to

remove the food from the oven and take it to the

serving table. However, with larger, denser food item,

the standing time may be as long as 10 minutes.

Arranging food

For best results, place food evenly on the plate. You can

do this in several ways:

• If you are cooking several items of the same food,

such as baked potatoes, place them in a ring pattern

for uniform cooking.

• When cooking foods of uneven shapes or

thickness, such as chicken breasts, place the

smaller or thinner area of the food towards the center of

the dish where it will be heated last.

• Layer thin slices of meat on top of each other.

• When you cook or reheat whole fish, score the skin

– this prevents cracking.

• Do not let food or a container touch the top or sides of

the oven. This will prevent possible arcing.

- 11 -

MICROWAVE COOKING TIPS

Using aluminum foil

Metal containers should not be used in a microwave

oven. There are, however, some exceptions. If you have

purchased food which is prepackaged in an aluminum

foil container, refer to the instructions on the package.

When using aluminum foil containers, cooking times may

be longer because microwaves will only penetrate the

exposed top of the food and not the bottom or the sides.

If you use aluminum containers without package

instructions, follow these guidelines:

• Place the aluminum foil container in a glass bowl and

add some Water so that it covers the bottom of the

container, but not more than 1/4 in. (.64 cm) deep. This

ensures even heating of the container bottom.

• Always remove the container lid to avoid damage to

the oven.

• Use only undamaged containers.

• Do not use containers taller than 3⁄4 in. (1.9 cm).

• Container must be at least half filled.

• To avoid arcing, there must be a minimum 1⁄4 in.

(64 mm) between the aluminum container and the walls

of the oven and also between two aluminum

containers.

• Always place the container on the glass turntable.

• Shield parts of food that may cook quickly, such as

wing tips and leg ends of poultry, with small pieces of

aluminum foil.

• Heating food in aluminum foil containers usually takes

up to double the time compared to reheating in plastic,

glass, china, or paper containers.

The time when food is ready will vary depending upon

the type of container you use.

• Let food stand for 2 to 3 minutes after heating so that

heat is spread evenly throughout the container.

Cooking you should not do in

your microwave oven

• Do not do canning of foods in the oven. Closed glass

jars may explode, resulting in damage to the oven.

• Do not use the microwave oven to sterilize objects

(baby bottles, etc.). It is difficult to keep the oven at the

high temperature needed for sterilization.

Removing the rack

• When popping commercially packaged popcorn,

Remove the rack and drip pan from the oven; Do

not place the bag of microwave popcorn on the rack or

under the rack. Leave the glass tray in place at all

times.

CAUTION : Popping microwave popcorn with rack and

drip pan can cause fire or damage to your

microwave oven.

MICROWAVE COOKING TIPS

Cooking Comparison Guide

Cooking with your new oven offers a wide variety of food

preparation options: microwave cooking, convection

cooking, and combination cooking.

Microwave cooking uses very short, high-frequency

radio waves. The movement of the microwaves through

the food generates heat and cooks most foods faster

than regular methods, while retaining their natural

texture and moisture. Microwave cooking heats food

directly, not the cookware or the interior of the oven.

Reheating is easy and defrosting is particularly

convenient because less time is spent in food

preparation.

Convection cooking constantly circulates heated air

around the food, creating even browning and sealed-in

flavor by the constant motion of hot air over the food

surfaces.

Combination cooking combines microwave energy

with convection to cook with speed and accuracy, while

browning and crisping to perfection.

You can use microwave cooking, convection cooking, or

combination cooking to cook by time. Simply preset the

length of cooking time desired and your oven turns off

automatically.

The following guide shows at a glance the difference

between microwave, convection, and combination

cooking.

Microwave energy is

distributed evenly

throughout the oven for fast,

thorough cooking of food.

MICROWAVE COOKING TIPS

COOKWARE GUIDE

Microwave Cooking

Most heat-resistant, non-metallic cookware is safe for

use in your microwave oven.

To test cookware before using, follow these steps:

1. Place the empty cookware in the microwave oven.

2. Measure 1 cup of water in a glass measuring cup and

place it in the oven beside the cookware.

3. Microwave on 100% power for 1 minute. If the dish is

warm, it should not be used for microwave cooking.

Convection Cooking

• Metal Pans are recommended for all types of baked

products, but especially where browning or crusting is

important.

• Dark or dull finish metal pans are best for breads and

pies because they absorb heat and produce a crisper

crust.

• Shiny aluminum pans are better for cakes, cookies, or

muffins because these pans reflect heat and help

produce a light, tender crust.

• Glass or glass-ceramic casserole or baking dishes are

best suited for egg and cheese recipes due to the

cleanability of glass.

Combination Cooking

• Glass or glass-ceramic baking containers are

recommended. Be sure not to use items with metal trim

as it may cause arcing (sparking) with oven wall or

oven shelf, damaging the cookware, the shelf, or the

oven.

• Heat-resistant plastic microwave cookware (safe to

450°F) may be used, but is not recommended for foods

that require crusting or all-around browning, because

plastic is a poor conductor of heat.
