MICROWAVE COOKING TIPS

Amount of food

If you increase or decrease the amount of food you prepare, the time it takes to cook that food will also change. For example, if you double a recipe, add a little more than half the original cooking time. Check for doneness and, if necessary, add more time in small increments.

Starting temperature of food

The lower the temperature of the food being put into the microwave oven, the longer it takes to cook. Food at room temperature will be re-heated more quickly than food at refrigerator temperature.

Composition of food

Food with a lot of fat and sugar will be heated faster than food containing a lot of water. Fat and sugar will also reach a higher temperature than water in the cooking process.

The more dense the food, the longer it takes to heat. Very dense food like meat takes longer to heat than lighter, more porous food like sponge cakes.

Size and shape

Smaller pieces of food will cook faster than larger pieces. Also, same-shaped pieces cook more evenly than different-shaped pieces.

With foods that have different thicknesses, the thinner parts will cook faster than the thicker parts. Place the thinner parts of chicken wings and legs in the center of the dish.

Stirring, turning foods

Stirring and turning foods spreads heat quickly to the center of the dish and avoids overcooking at the outer edges of the food.

Covering food

Cover food to:

Reduce splattering

Shorten cooking times

Keep food moist

Releasing pressure in foods

Several foods (for example: baked potatoes, sausages, egg yolks, and some fruits) are tightly covered by a skin or membrane. Steam can build up under the membrane during cooking, causing the food to burst. To relieve the pressure and to prevent bursting, pierce these foods before cooking with a fork, cocktail pick, or toothpick.

Using standing time

Always allow food to stand either in or out of the oven after cooking power stops. Standing time after defrosting and cooking allows the temperature to evenly spread throughout the food, improving the cooking results. For inside oven standing time, you can program a 0 power second stage of the cooking cycle. See cooking with more than on cook cycle cooking.

The length of the standing time depends on how much food you are cooking and how dense it is. Sometimes it can be as short as the time it takes you to remove the food from the oven and take it to the serving table. However, with larger, denser food item, the standing time may be as long as 10 minutes.

Arranging food

For best results, place food evenly on the plate. You can do this in several ways:

If you are cooking several items of the same food, such as baked potatoes, place them in a ring pattern for uniform cooking.

When cooking foods of uneven shapes or thickness, such as chicken breasts, place the smaller or thinner area of the food towards the center of the dish where it will be heated last.

Layer thin slices of meat on top of each other.

When you cook or reheat whole fish, score the skin – this prevents cracking.

Do not let food or a container touch the top or sides of the oven. This will prevent possible arcing.

MICROWAVE COOKING TIPS

Using aluminum foil

Metal containers should not be used in a microwave oven. There are, however, some exceptions. If you have purchased food which is prepackaged in an aluminum foil container, refer to the instructions on the package. When using aluminum foil containers, cooking times may be longer because microwaves will only penetrate the exposed top of the food and not the bottom or the sides. If you use aluminum containers without package instructions, follow these guidelines:

Place the aluminum foil container in a glass bowl and add some Water so that it covers the bottom of the container, but not more than 1/4 in. (.64 cm) deep. This ensures even heating of the container bottom.

Always remove the container lid to avoid damage to the oven.

Use only undamaged containers.

Do not use containers taller than 3⁄4 in. (1.9 cm).

Container must be at least half filled.

To avoid arcing, there must be a minimum 1⁄4 in. (64 mm) between the aluminum container and the walls of the oven and also between two aluminum containers.

Always place the container on the glass turntable.

Shield parts of food that may cook quickly, such as wing tips and leg ends of poultry, with small pieces of aluminum foil.

Heating food in aluminum foil containers usually takes up to double the time compared to reheating in plastic, glass, china, or paper containers.

The time when food is ready will vary depending upon the type of container you use.

Let food stand for 2 to 3 minutes after heating so that heat is spread evenly throughout the container.

Cooking you should not do in your microwave oven

Do not do canning of foods in the oven. Closed glass jars may explode, resulting in damage to the oven.

Do not use the microwave oven to sterilize objects (baby bottles, etc.). It is difficult to keep the oven at the high temperature needed for sterilization.

Removing the rack

• When popping commercially packaged popcorn,

Remove the rack and drip pan from the oven; Do not place the bag of microwave popcorn on the rack or under the rack. Leave the glass tray in place at all times.

CAUTION : Popping microwave popcorn with rack and drip pan can cause fire or damage to your microwave oven.

MICROWAVE COOKING TIPS

Cooking Comparison Guide

Cooking with your new oven offers a wide variety of food preparation options: microwave cooking, convection cooking, and combination cooking. Microwave cooking uses very short, high-frequency radio waves. The movement of the microwaves through the food generates heat and cooks most foods faster than regular methods, while retaining their natural texture and moisture. Microwave cooking heats food directly, not the cookware or the interior of the oven. Reheating is easy and defrosting is particularly convenient because less time is spent in food preparation.

Convection cooking constantly circulates heated air around the food, creating even browning and sealed-in flavor by the constant motion of hot air over the food surfaces.

Combination cooking combines microwave energy with convection to cook with speed and accuracy, while browning and crisping to perfection.

You can use microwave cooking, convection cooking, or combination cooking to cook by time. Simply preset the length of cooking time desired and your oven turns off automatically.

The following guide shows at a glance the difference between microwave, convection, and combination cooking.

MICROWAVE COOKING TIPS

COOKWARE GUIDE

Microwave Cooking

Most heat-resistant, non-metallic cookware is safe for use in your microwave oven.

To test cookware before using, follow these steps:

1.Place the empty cookware in the microwave oven.

2.Measure 1 cup of water in a glass measuring cup and place it in the oven beside the cookware.

3.Microwave on 100% power for 1 minute. If the dish is warm, it should not be used for microwave cooking.

Glass or glass-ceramic baking containers are recommended. Be sure not to use items with metal trim as it may cause arcing (sparking) with oven wall or oven shelf, damaging the cookware, the shelf, or the oven.

Heat-resistant plastic microwave cookware (safe to 450°F) may be used, but is not recommended for foods that require crusting or all-around browning, because plastic is a poor conductor of heat.

Convection Cooking

Metal Pans are recommended for all types of baked products, but especially where browning or crusting is important.

Dark or dull finish metal pans are best for breads and pies because they absorb heat and produce a crisper crust.

Shiny aluminum pans are better for cakes, cookies, or muffins because these pans reflect heat and help produce a light, tender crust.

Glass or glass-ceramic casserole or baking dishes are best suited for egg and cheese recipes due to the cleanability of glass.
