MICROWAVE OVEN USE A magnetron in the microwave oven produces microwaves which re ect off the metal oor, walls, and ceiling and pass through the turntable and appropriate cookware to the food. Microwaves are attracted to and absorbed by fat, sugar, and water molecules in the food, causing them to move, producing friction and heat which cooks the food. n To avoid damage to the microwave oven, do not lean on or allow children to swing on the microwave oven door. n To avoid damage to the microwave oven, do not operate microwave oven when it is empty, even with empty container. n The turntable must be in place and correct side up when microwave oven is in use. Do not use if turntable is chipped or broken. n Baby bottles and baby food jars should not be heated in microwave oven. n Clothes, owers, fruit, herbs, wood, gourds, and paper, including brown paper bags and newspaper, should not be dried in the microwave oven. n Paraf n wax will not melt in the microwave oven because it does not absorb microwaves. n Use oven mitts or pot holders when removing containers from microwave oven. n Do not overcook potatoes. At the end of the recommended cook time, potatoes should be slightly rm. Let potatoes stand for 5 minutes. They will nish cooking while standing. n Do not cook or reheat whole eggs inside the shell. Steam buildup in whole eggs may cause them to burst. Cover poached eggs and allow a standing time. Food Characteristics When the microwave oven is cooking, the amount, size and shape, starting temperature, composition and density of the food affect cooking results. Amount of Food The more food that is heated at once, the longer the cook time that is needed. Check for doneness and add small increments of time, if necessary. 6 Size and Shape Smaller pieces of food will cook more quickly than larger pieces, and uniformly shaped foods cook more evenly than irregularly shaped food. Starting Temperature Room temperature foods will heat faster than refrigerated foods, and refrigerated foods will heat faster than frozen foods. Composition and Density Foods high in fat and sugar will reach a higher temperature and will heat faster than other foods. Heavy, dense foods, such as meat and potatoes, require a longer cook time than the same size of a light, porous food, such as cake. Cooking Guidelines Covering Covering food helps retain moisture, shorten cook time, and reduce spattering. Use the lid supplied with cookware. If a lid is not available, wax paper, paper towels, or plastic wrap approved for microwave ovens may be used. Plastic wrap should be turned back at one corner to provide an opening to vent steam. Condensation on the door and cavity surfaces is normal during heavy cooking. Stirring and Turning Stirring and turning redistributes heat evenly to avoid overcooking the outer edges of food. Stir from outside to center. If possible, turn food over from bottom to top. Arranging If heating irregularly shaped or different-sized foods, arrange the thinner parts and smaller-sized items toward the center. If cooking several items of the same size and shape, place them in a ring pattern, leaving the center of the ring empty. Piercing Before heating, use a fork or small knife to pierce or prick foods that have a skin or membrane, such as potatoes, egg yolks, chicken livers, hot dogs, and sausage. Prick in several places to allow steam to vent. Aluminum Foil, Metal Browning Dish Shielding Use small, at pieces of aluminum foil to shield the thin pieces of irregularly shaped foods, bones, and foods such as chicken wings, leg tips, and sh tails. See the Aluminum Foil and Metal section rst. Standing Time Food will continue to cook by the natural conduction of heat, even after the microwave cooking cycle ends. The length of standing time depends on the volume and density of the food. Cookware and Dinnerware Cookware and dinnerware must t on the turntable. Always use oven mitts or pot holders when handling because any dish may become hot from heat transferred from the food. Do not use cookware and dinnerware with gold or silver trim. Use the following chart as a guide, then test before using. Material Recommendations See the Aluminum Foil and Metal section. Bottom must be at least 3/16" (5 mm) above the turntable. Follow manufacturers recommendations. Acceptable for use. Use those approved by the manufacturer for microwave oven use. Ceramic Glass, Glass China, Earthenware Follow manufacturers recommendations. Melamine Follow manufacturers recommendations. Use non-recycled and those approved by Paper: Towels, Dinnerware, the manufacturer for microwave oven use. Napkins Plastic: Wraps, Bags, Covers, Dinnerware, Containers Pottery and Clay Silicone Bakeware Straw, Wicker, Wooden Containers Styrofoam Wax Paper To Test Cookware or Dinnerware for Microwave Use:
1. Place cookware or dinnerware in microwave oven with 1 cup Follow manufacturers recommendations. Follow manufacturers recommendations. Do not use in microwave oven. Do not use in microwave oven. Acceptable for use.
(250 mL) of water beside it. 2. Cook at 100% cooking power for 1 minute. Do not use cookware or dinnerware if it becomes hot and the water stays cool. Styrofoam is a registered trademark of The Dow Chemical Company. Aluminum Foil and Metal Always use oven mitts or pot holders when removing dishes from the microwave oven. Aluminum foil and some metal can be used in the microwave oven. If not used properly, arcing (a blue ash of light) can occur and cause damage to the microwave oven. OK for Use Racks and bakeware supplied with the microwave oven (on some models), aluminum foil for shielding, and approved meat thermometers may be used with the following guidelines:
n To avoid damage to the microwave oven, do not allow aluminum foil or metal to touch the inside cavity walls, ceiling, or oor. n Always use the turntable. n To avoid damage to the microwave oven, do not allow contact with another metal object during microwave cooking. Do Not Use Metal cookware and bakeware, gold, silver, pewter, non-approved meat thermometers, skewers, twist ties, foil liners, such as sandwich wrappers, staples, and objects with gold or silver trim or a metallic glaze, should not be used in the microwave oven. Metal bakeware may be used only during convection (bake) cycles. Use ovenproof, microwave-safe cookware for all other convection and combination. Microwave Cooking Power Many recipes for microwave cooking specify which cooking power to use by percent, name, or number. For example, 70%=Medium-High=7. Use the following chart as a general guide for the suggested cooking power of speci c foods. MICROWAVE COOKING POWER CHART Percent/
