HELPFUL HINTS
Stirring
Stir foods such as casseroles and vegetables while cooking to distribute
heat evenly. Food at the outside of the dish absorbs more energy and
heats more quickly.
Arranging Food
Arrange unevenly shaped foods, such as chicken pieces or chops, with the
thicker meatier parts toward the outside of the Turntable where they
receive more microwave energy. To prevent overcooking, place delicate
areas of food toward the center of the Turntable.
Shielding
Shield food with narrow strips of aluminum foil to prevent overcooking.
Areas that need shielding include poultry wing-tips, the ends of poultry
legs and corners of square baking dishes. Use only small amounts of alu-
minum foil. Larger amounts can damage your oven.
