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 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.
