Food Characteristics

Bone and Fat

Both bone and fat affect cooking. Bones may cause irregular cooking. Meat next to the tips of bones may

overcook while meat positioned under a large bone, such as a ham bone, may be undercooked. Large amounts of fat

absorb microwave energy and the meat next to these areas

may overcook.

Density

Porous, airy foods such as breads, cakes or rolls take less

time to cook than heavy, dense foods such as potatoes and roasts. When reheating donuts or other foods with

different centers be very careful. Certain foods have centers made with sugar, water, or fat and these centers

attract microwaves (For example, jelly donuts). When a jelly donut is heated, the jelly can become extremely hot while

the exterior remains warm to the touch. This could result in a burn if the food is not allowed to cool properly in the

center.

(A) Refer to cake mix box for recommended baking

time, or to personal recipe for cake made from scratch ingredients.

(B) Auto Cook by Bake key does not require

preheating of the covection oven.

Pie 1st tap Fresh Pie for Double-crust pies with

fresh fillings

2nd tap Frozen Pie for Double-crust pies that are

frozen

3rd tap Precooked Pie for Double crust pies with

pre-cooked or canned pie filling.

Quantity

Two potatoes take longer to cook than one potato. As the quantity of the food decreases so does the cooking time.

Overcooking will cause the moisture content in the food to decrease and a fire could result. Never leave microwave

unattended while in use.

Shape

Uniform sizes heat more evenly. The thin end of a

drumstick will cook more quickly than the meaty end. To compensate for irregular shapes, place thin parts toward the center of the dish and thick pieces towerd the edge.

StartingTemperature Cookingtime

Foodsthatareatroomtemperaturetakelesstimeto cook

thaniftheyarechilled,refrigerated,orfrozen.

Cooking Techniques

Piercing

Foods with skins or membranes must be pierced scored or have a strip of skin peeled before cooking to allow steam to

escape. Pierce clams, oyster, chicken livers, whole

potatoes and whole vegetables. Whole apples or new potatoes should have a 1-inch strip of skin peeled before

cooking. Score sausages and frankfurters. Do not Cook/Reheat whloe eggs with or without the shell. Steam

build up in whole eggs may cause them to explode, and possibly damage the oven or cause injury. Reheating

SLICED hard-boiled eggs and cooking SCRAMBLED eggs

is safe.

Spacing

Individual foods, such as baked potatoes, cupcakes and appetizers, will cook more evenly if placed in the oven equal distances apart. When possible, arrange foods in a

circular pattern.

Covering

As with conventional cooking, moisture evaporates during

microwave cooking. Casserole lids or plastic wrap are used for a tighter seal. When using plastic wrap, vent the plastic

wrap by folding back part of the plastic wrap from the edge of the dish to allow steam to escape. Loosen or remove

plastic wrap as recipe directs for stand time. When

removing plastic wrap covers, as well as any glas lids, be careful to remove them away from you to avoid steam

burns. Various degrees of moisture retention are also obtained by using wax paper or paper towels.

Shielding

A range of cooking time is given in each recipe. The time

range compensates for the uncontrollable differences in

food shapes, starting temperature, and regional

preferences. Always cook food for the minimum cooking

time given in a recipe and check for doneness. If the food is

undercooked, continue cooking. It is easier to add time to

an undercooked product. Once the food is overcooked,

nothing can be done.

Stirring

Stirring is usually necessary during microwave cooking. Always bring the cooked outside edges toward the center and the less cooked center portions toward the outside of

the dish.

Rearranging

Rearrange small items such as chicken pieces, shrimp,

hamburger patties, or pork chops. Rearrange pieces from the edge to the center and pieces from the center to the edge of the dish.

Turning

It is not possible to stir some foods to distribute the heat evently. At times, microwave energy will concentrate in one

area of the food. To help insure even cooking, these food

need to be turned. Turn over large foods, such as roasts or turkeys, halfway through cooking.

Stand Time

Most foods will continue to cook by conduction after the

microwave oven is turned off. In meat cookery, the internal temperature will rise 5 °F to 15 °F (3 °C to 8 °C), if allowed to

stand, tented with foil, for 10 to 15 minutes. Casseroles and vegetables need a shorter amount of standing time, but this standing time is necessary to allow fooods to complete

cooking to teh center without overcooking on the edges.

Thin areas of meat and poultry cook more quickly than

meaty portions. To prevent overcooking, these thin areas

can be shielded with strips of aluminium foil. Wooden toothpicks may be used to hold the foil in place.

Caution: is to be exercised when using foil. Arcing can occur if foil is too close to oven wall or door and damage to

your oven will result.

Test for Doneness

The same tests for doneness used in conventional cooking

may be used for microwave cooking. Meat is done when fork-tender or splits at fibers. Chicken is done when juices

are clear yellow and drumstick moves freely. Fish is done when it flakes and is opaque. Cake is done when a

toothpick or cake tester is inserted and comes out clean.

About food Safety and cooking tem peratu re

Check foods to see that they are cooked to the United States Department of Agriculture's recommended

temperatures.

TEMP FOOD

160 °F ... for fresh pork, ground meat, fish, seafood,

egg dishes and frozen prepared food.

165 °F ... for leftover, ready-t-reheat refrigerated, and

dell and carryout "fresh" food.

To test for doneness, insert a meat thermometer in a thick or dense area away from fat or bone. NEVER leave the

thermometer in the food during cooking, unless it is approved for microwave oven use.

Container Test

To test a container for safe microwave oven use

Filla microwave safe cup with cool water and place it in the

microwave oven alongside the empty container to be tested; heat one (1) minute at P10 (HIGH). If the container is microwave oven safe (transparent to

microwave energy), the empty container should remain comfortably cool and the water should be hot. If the container is hot, it has absorbed some microwave energy

and should NOT be used. This test cannot be used for

plastic containers.

Time ranges are often specified in the tables. Set the shortest time first and then extend the time if necessary.

It may be that you have different quantities from those

specified in the tables. A rule of thumb can be applied:

double the amount double the cooking time,

half the amount half the cooking time.

Place the ovenware in the center of the ceramic tray. The

food will absorb the microwaves from all sides.

Defrosting, heating up, and cooking frozen foods

Take ready-made meals out of their packaging. They will

heat up more quickly and evenly if you place them in microwavable dishes. Different parts of the meal may heat

up at different rates.

Food that is laid flat heats up quicker than if it is piled high.

Therefore, it is best to spread out the food so that it lies flat

in the container. You should not place layers of food on top

of each other.

Always cover the food. If you do not have a suitable lid for your dish, use a plate or special microwave foil.

You should stir or turn the food two to three times during

heating.

Once you have heated up the meals, leave them to stand for another 2 to 5 minutes so that the temperature can

stabilize.

The individual taste of the food is retained to a large degree. You can therefore use less salt and spices.
