Cooking Guide
Cooking Tips
Carefully monitor the food in the microwave oven while it is cooking.
Directions given in recipes to 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.
• Brownies
−
For best results when cooking brownies, place the pan about 1
1/2 in. (38.1 mm) from the door.
Precautions
WARNING
•
Do not use your microwave oven to cook eggs in the shell.
Pressure can build up inside the shell, causing it to burst.
•
Never operate the oven when it is empty. Food or water should
always be in the oven during operation to absorb the microwave
energy.
•
Place the front surface of the door three inches or more from the
edge of a countertop to avoid accidental tipping of the microwave
oven during normal use.
•
To program the oven, press the center of each pad firmly. When a
pad is pressed correctly, a beep sounds and the oven is activated.
Do not press several pads at once.
•
Do not strike the control panel with silverware, utensils, etc. It may
be damaged or broken.
• Always be careful when taking cookware out of the oven. Some
dishes absorb heat from the cooked food and may be hot. See the
Cookware Guide section for more information.
• Do not rinse containers by placing them in water immediately
after cooking. This may cause breakage. Also, always allow the
turntable to cool before removing it from the oven.
•
Do not use the oven to dry newspapers or clothes. They may
catch fire.
•
Use thermometers that have been approved for microwave oven
cooking.
• The turntable must always be in place when you operate the oven.
