To achieve the best results when cooking in this appliance, follow the
suggestions below.
STIRRING
Stir foods while cooking to distribute heat evenly. Food at the outside
of the dish absorbs more energy and will heat more quickly so stir
from the outside of the dish toward the center.
ARRANGEMENT
Arrange unevenly shaped foods thicker, meatier parts toward
the outside of the turntable so they receive more heat. To prevent
overcooking, place delicate items toward the center of the turntable.
TURNING
Turn food over midway through cooking to expose all parts to the
microwave energy. This is important with large items and meat.
STANDING
Foods cooked in a microwave build up internal heat and continue
to cook for a few minutes after heating stops. Let foods stand to
complete cooking, especially meats and liquids. All liquids should
be allowed to stand for a few minutes after cooking and should be
shaken or stirred before consuming.
ADDING MOISTURE
Microwave energy is attracted to water molecules. Food that is
uneven in moisture content should be covered and allowed to stand
after cooking to allow the heat to disperse evenly. Add a small
amount of water to dry food to help it cook.
