Getting to Know Your Microwave Oven
Cooking Comparison Guide
Cooking with your new convection microwave oven offers a wide variety of food preparation options such as microwave cooking, convection cooking and combination cooking.
Microwave cooking: Uses high-frequency electromagnetic radiation. Microwave cooking heats the food directly, not the cookware or the interior of the oven. Reheating is simple and defrosting is convenient because less time is spent in food preparation and food does not stay out on a counter to defrost where it can spoil.
MICROWAVE CONVECTION COMBINATION
COOKING METHOD
HEAT SOURCE
BENEFITS
Microwave energy is distributed evenly throughout the oven for fast thorough cooking.
Microwave energy. Circulating heated air. Microwave and circulating heated air.
Fast, efficient cooking.
Oven and cookware
does not get hot.
Easy clean-up.
Hot air circulates around the food to brown the food and seal in the juices.
Browns and seals in
the flavor of foods.
Cooks food faster
than conventional ovens.
Convection cooking: Uses hot air movement by means of a fan to provide faster cooking. The fan gently sends air to every area of the food, q uickly brownin g , crisping and sealing in moisture and flavor. It produces more even temperature all around the food by air movement, so that food cooks evenly.
Combination cooking: Combines the microwave energy with the convection to cook with speed and accuracy, while browning and crisping to perfection.
The following guide shows the difference and the advantages for each type of cooking.
A combination of microwave energy and convection heat combine to shorten the cooking time while browning and sealing in the juices of the food at the same time.
Shortened cooking times from
microwave energy.
Browning from convection heat.
Cookware Guide
Microwave cooking: Most heat-resistant, non-metallic cookware is safe for your microwave oven. However, to test the cookware before using, place the empty cookware into the microwave with a glass measuring cup filled with water next to it. Microwave on 100% power for 1 minute. If the cookware is warm, then it should not be used for microwave cooking.
Convection cooking: Metal pans are recommended for all types of baked products, but especially if browning and crusting is important. Dark or dull finished metal pans are best for breads and pies because they absorb heat and produce a crisper crust. Shiny aluminum pans are best for cakes, cookies or muffins because these pans reflect heat and help produce a light, tender crust. You can also use oven safe glass or ceramic cookware.
Combination cooking: Glass or glass-ceramic bake ware is recommended. Be sure not use items with metal trim as it may cause arcing (sparking) with the oven wall or oven shelf., damaging the oven wall, shelf or oven. Heat-resistant plastic microwave cookware (safe to 450˚F) may be used, but it is not recommended for foods that require crusting or all around browning.

screen of the door?
No. the screen bounces the energy back into the oven cavity. The holes allow only the light to pass through.
3. Can my microwave oven be damaged if the food is
cooked for too long?
Like any other cooking appliance, it is possible to overcook food to the point that the food creates smoke and possibly even fire and damage the inside of the oven. It is always best to be near the oven when you are cooking.
If the food that you are cooking catches fire, turn the oven “Off” and remove the plug from the electrical outlet. DO NOT OPEN THE DOOR.
4. Why do some ba ked foods have a dry, brown spot?
A hard, dry spot indicates overcooking. Sh ort en t he cooking time.
5. Why do eggs s ometimes pop?
When baking, frying or poaching eggs, the yolk may pop due to steam buildup inside the yolk. To prevent this, pierce the yolk before cooking.
Caution: Never microwave eggs in the shell.
6. Why is standing time recommended after
microwave cooking time is over?
Standing time allows foods to continue cooking evenly for a few minutes after the act ual microwav e oven cooking cycle ends. The amount of standing time depends on the density of the foods. Follow the recipe suggestions.
7. Why is additional time required for cooking food
that was stored in the refrigerator?
As in convention cooking, the initial temperature of the food affects the total cooking time.
