Suggestions for best results
To help you achieve the best possible results from your
microwave oven, read the following suggestions below:
▯
Storage temperature
Foods taken from the freezer or refrigerator take
longer to cook.
▯
Size
Small pieces of food cook faster than large ones.
Pieces similar in size and shape will cook more evenly
when cooked together. For more even results, reduce
the power levels when cooking large pieces of food.
▯
Natural moisture
Very moist foods cook more evenly because
microwave energy heats water molecules very
efficiently.
▯
Stirring
Stir foods such as casseroles and vegetable from the
outside to the center to distribute the heat more
evenly. This will allow the food to cook faster.
(Constant stirring is not necessary.)
▯
Turning
Turn over foods such as pork chops, roasts or whole
cauliflower halfway through the cook time. This will
help to expose all sides equally to microwave energy.
▯
Placing food
Place delicate areas of food items, such as asparagus
tips, toward the center of the turntable tray.
▯
Arranging food
Arrange unevenly shaped foods, such as chicken
pieces or salmon, with the thicker or meatier parts
toward the outside of the turntable tray.
▯
Letting food stand
After removing the food from the microwave, cover the
food with foil or a casserole lid and let it stand to finish
cooking. This will help the food finish cooking in the
center and avoids overcooking the outer edges. The
length of stand time depends on the density and
surface area of the food items.
▯
Wrapping foods
Sandwiches and many other food types containing
pre-baked bread should be wrapped in paper towels
or wax paper prior to placing in the microwave to help
prevent the food items from drying out while heating.
Automatic programs
The automatic programs let you prepare food in a fast
and simple way using microwave heating. Select the
program and enter the values prompted on the display;
the automatic program selects the optimum setting for
you.
Auto Defrost
With the Auto Defrost feature you can defrost four
different types of food by entering the weight. The ideal
defrost time will be calculated by the program.
Ovenware for defrosting
Place the food in a microwaveable shallow dish, such as
a glass casserole dish or glass plate, but do not cover.
Stand time
The defrosted food should be left to stand for an
additional 10 to 30 minutes until it reaches an even
temperature. Large pieces of meat require a longer
standing time than smaller pieces. Flat pieces of meat
and items made from ground meat should be separated
from each other before leaving to stand.
After this time, you can continue to prepare the food,
even thought thick pieces of meat may still be frozen in
the middle.
