Do not leave oven unattended while cooking.
Paper towels Use microwave-safe paper towels only to cover food for reheating and
absorbing fat. Use with supervision for short-term cooking only.
Parchment Use as a cover to prevent spattering or a wrap paper for steaming.
Plastic containers
Use microwave-safe containers only. Follow the manufacturer
＇
s
instructions. Containers should be labeled

How Your Microwave Oven Works
The microwave oven has an electronic tube called a magnetron that produces microwaves,
very short radio waves. The microwaves then pass through a wave-guide and into the oven
cavity. The microwaves penetrate the food and cause water molecules within the food to
vibrate extremely rapidly. This vibration causes considerable friction or heat between the
water molecules resulting in a rapid rise in temperature. This type of heating is very efficient
and the cooking time is therefore shorter than in a conventional oven. The rate of heating
depends on the moisture content, shape, volume and amount of food present. Metallic
materials totally reflect microwaves. Non-metallic materials such as glass, paper and
plastics are partially transparent to microwaves. Microwaves do not directly heat the oven
