OPERATION

EN
G

LI

SH

elevate, stir, etc., are the minimum steps 

recommended. If food is overcooked (dry), 

undercooked, or unevenly cooked, make 

adjustments before or during cooking to correct 

the problem.

Overcooked or Dry Food

Sprinkling

: Sprinkle low-moisture foods such 

as roasts and vegetables with water before 

cooking, or cover them to retain moisture.

Density

: Light, porous food such as cakes and 

breads cook more quickly than heavy, dense 

foods such as roasts and casseroles.

Shielding

: Cover the corners of square dishes 

with small strips of aluminum foil to prevent 

overcooking. Don’t use too much foil, and 

secure the foil to the dish. Foil can cause 

arcing if it gets too close to the oven walls 

during cooking.

Bones and Fat

: Bones conduct heat, and fat 

cooks more quickly than meat. Take care with 

bony or fatty cuts of meat.

Undercooked Food

Covering

: Cover food with a microwave-safe 

lid, parchment paper (not waxed paper), or 

plastic wrap to trap heat and steam and cook 

food more quickly.

Standing Time

: Let food stand for several 

minutes after being removed from the oven to 

allow it to finish cooking and help flavors blend 

and develop.

Quantity

: The more food you place in the 

oven, the longer the required cooking time.

Temperature

: Ice-cold ingredients take much 

longer to cook than room temperature 

ingredients.

Unevenly Cooked Food

Stirring

: Stir food from the outside toward the 

center during cooking, as food at the outside 

of the dish heats more quickly.

Arranging

: Turn food over several times 

during cooking. The upper portion of thick 

foods cooks more quickly than the lower 

portion.

Shaping

: Place the thickest portions of foods 

like meat, poultry or fish toward the outside of 

the cookware to help them cook more evenly. 

If possible, shape foods into thin rounds or 

rings.

Foods with Skin, Shell or Membrane

Skin or Membrane

: Pierce the outsides of 

foods like potatoes, sausages, or egg whites or 

yolks before cooking.

Shell

: Pierce or remove the shells from eggs, 

clams, oysters, or other shelled foods before 

cooking.

Defrosting Tips

- Remove fish, shellfish, meat, and poultry from 

its original wrapping paper or plastic package. 

Otherwise, the wrap close to the foods will 

hold steam and heat, which can cause the 

outer surface of the foods to be cooked.

-  Remove any metal twist ties.
-  Always slit or pierce plastic pouches or 

packaging.

-  Open containers such as cartons before they 

are placed in the oven.

-  If food is foil wrapped, remove foil and place 

the food in a suitable container.

-  The length of defrosting time varies 

depending on the shape of the food and on 

how solidly the food is frozen.

-  As food begins to defrost, separate the food 

into pieces so that they can defrost more 

easily.

-  Turn over food during defrosting or standing 

time. Separate into pieces and remove food as 

required.

-  Let food stand after defrosting. Food should 

still be somewhat icy in the center when 

removed from the oven.

-  When using Defrost, the weight to be entered 

is the net weight in pounds and tenths of 

pounds (the weight of the food minus the 

container).

-  Slit the skins of frozen food such as sausage.
-  Bend plastic pouches of food to ensure even 

defrosting.

-  Place food in a shallow container or in a 

microwave roasting dish to catch the 

drippings.

- Always underestimate defrosting time. Food 

should still be somewhat icy in the center 

when removed from the oven. If defrosted 

food is still frozen solid in the center, return it 

to the microwave oven for more defrosting.

-  Depending on the shape of the food, some 

areas may defrost more quickly than others.

-  The shape of the package affects how quickly 

food will defrost. Shallow packages will defrost 

more quickly than a deep block.

-  For best results, shape ground meat into the 

form of a doughnut before freezing. When 

defrosting, scrape off thawed meat when the 

beep sounds and continue defrosting.
