Microwave Oven
●
Use proper power level as
recommended and DO NOT
OVERCOOK.
●
Do not operate the oven while
empty. If by accident the oven
should run empty a minute or two,
no harm is done. However, try to
avoid operating the oven empty at all
times-saves energy and also
ensures good, long-term life of oven.
Lower Oven
. Preheat the oven only when
necessary. Most foods will cook
satisfactorily without preheating.
If you find preheating is necessary,
keep an eye on the indicator light,
and put food in the oven promptly
after the light goes out.
●
Always turn oven OFF before
removing food.
●
During baking, avoid frequent
door openings. Keep door open as
short a time as possible if it is
opened.
●
For self-cleaning oven, be sure
to wipe up excess spillage before
self-cleaning operation.
●
Cook complete oven meals
instead of just one food item.
Potatoes, other vegetables, and
some desserts will cook together
with a main-dish casserole, meat
loaf, chicken or roast. Choose
foods that cook at the same
temperature in approximately
the same time.
●
Use residual heat in oven
whenever possible to finish
cooking casseroles, oven meals,
etc. Also add rolls or precooked
desserts to warm oven, using
residual heat to warm them.
Microwaving
●
Make sure all cookware used in
your microwave oven is suitable
for microwaving. Most glass
casseroles, cooking dishes,
measuring cups, custard cups,
pottery or china dinnerware which
does not have metallic trim or glaze
with a metallic sheen can be used.
Some cookware is labeled “suitable
for microwaving.”
If you are not sure if a dish is
microwave-safe, use this test:
Place in the oven both the dish you
are testing and a glass measuring
cup filled with one cup water—set
the measuring cup either in or next
to the dish. Microwave 1 minute at
high. If the dish heats, it should not
be used for microwaving. If the dish
remains cool and only the water in
the cup heats, then the dish is
microwave-safe.
●
towels, wax paper and
plastic wrap can be used to cover
dishes in order to retain moisture
and prevent spattering. Be sure to
vent plastic wrap so steam can
escape.
●
Some microwaved foods
require stirring, rotating or
rearranging. Check the
Cookbook.
●
Steam builds up pressure in
foods which are tightly covered
by a skin or membrane. Pierce
potatoes, egg yolks and chicken
livers to prevent bursting.
