COOKING GUIDE

COOKING PRINCIPLES AND TECHNIQUES

The advantages of microwave cooking are speed and efficiency. For warming, heating, and defrosting, nothing compares. Here are a few tips that will make microwave cooking easier and more enjoyable.

Microwave Cooking Principles:

Because microwave cooking requires only one-quarter to one-third the time of conventional cooking, the same cooking principles become even more important.

Quantity:

During microwave cooking, the cooking time is dependent on the amount of food placed inside the oven. If you double the recipe, plan on doubling the cooking time.

Density:

Dense foods, such as potatoes, need more cooking time as it takes longer for microwave energy to penetrate and conduct heat through them.

Shape and Size:

Cut food into uniform shapes and sizes for even cooking. When cooking irregular shapes (such as chicken pieces), place the thicker parts to the outer edge of the dish.

Cooking Time:

Food high in moisture, sugar or fat cook faster. Add a minimum amount of liquid to moisten foods. An excess amount of water will slow the cooking process.

Starting Temperature:

Frozen or refrigerated foods take longer to microwave than food at room temperature.

Delicate Ingredients:

Delicate foods such as eggs, cheese, mayonnaise, etc., cook very quickly, and should be watched carefully.

Microwave Cooking Techniques: Arranging:

outer edge of the dish.

Arrange food in a circular pattern, with denser, thicker portions facing toward the

Piercing: Pierce the membrane of foods such as eggs, oysters, snails, sausages, liver,

clams and whole vegetables, so they do not burst.

Re-heating: Cooked foods reheat extremely well using a lower power level of microwave energy. Place

denser foods near the outer edge of the dish when re-heating.

Covering: Most foods will cook and reheat better when covered. Keep the cover loose (not tight) Always

pierce plastic wraps to allow steam to vent.

Stirring: It is recommended to occasionally stir foods during cooking, as this will help

food cook more quickly and evenly.

Turning Over:To promote even cooking, turn larger solid items such as roasts or baked potatoes over,

halfway through the cooking time.

Standing Time: Foods continue cooking even after removal from the oven. Standing time is necessary to

allow foods to complete cooking/defrosting.

Converting Recipes: Microwave recipes will likely call for less liquid and cooking

time than conventional cooking.

Microwave Thermometers: For best results, a microwave-safe thermometer can be carefully and properly

inserted into the food. Keep in mind that standing time is essential for most food to reach its proper serving temperature.

TROUBLESHOOTING

Some problems are minor in nature and can be easily rectified. Compare the problem you are having against the chart below and try the "possible remedy" to resolve the problem. If the microwave oven still does not work properly, contact the nearest authorized service center. (or call our Toll Free Line at: 1 800 26 DANBY)

CARE AND MAINTENANCE

• Exterior

The outside surface (cabinet) is painted. Clean the outer cabinet with mild soap and water. Rinse and dry with a soft cloth. Do not use any type of household or abrasive cleaner. Wipe the oven window on both sides with a damp cloth to remove any spills or spatters. Wipe the front side of the door with a cloth dampened slightly with water only. Dry with a soft cloth. Do not scrub or use any chemical cleaners. Metal parts will be easier to maintain if wiped frequently with a damp cloth. Avoid the use of spray cleaners and other harsh cleaners as they may stain, streak or dull the door surface.

• Interior

Cleaning is easy because little heat is generated on the interior surfaces; To clean the interior surfaces, use a soft cloth and water. DO NOT USE ABRASIVE OR HARSH CLEANERS OR SCOURING PADS. For heavily soiled areas, use baking soda or a mild soap. Wipe thoroughly with a cloth soaked in hot water. NEVER SPRAY OVEN CLEANERS DIRECTLY ONTO ANYPART(S) OF THE OVEN CAVITY.

• Glass Turntable/Turntable Support

The turntable and turntable support can be removed for easy cleaning. Wash them in mild, sudsy water. For stubborn stains use a mild cleanser and non-abrasive scouring sponge. They can also be washed in your dishwasher. Use upper rack of dishwasher. The turntable motor shaft is not sealed, so excess water or spills should be wiped up immediately.
