If you are not
sure if a dish is microwave-safe, use this test:
in the oven both the dish you are testing and a glass measuring cup filled with 1 cup of water—set the measuring cup either in or next to the dish. Microwave 1 minute at high. If the dish heats, it should not be used for microwaving. If the dish remains cool and only the water in the cup heats, then the dish is microwave-safe.

100% power. Each power level gives you microwave energy a certain percent of the time. Power Level 7 is microwave energy energy
A high setting (10) will cook faster but may need additional attention such as frequent stirring, rotating or turning over. Most of your cooking will be done on HIGH (Power Level 10). A lower setting will cook more evenly and with less attention given to stirring
or rotating the food. Some foods may have better flavor, texture or appearance if one of the lower
settings is used. You may wish to use a lower power level when cooking foods that have a tendency to

Time Defrost is designed for speedy thawing of
frozen food and is one of the great advantages of
a microwave oven.
Use the Time Defrost setting to quickly thaw foods
such as bread, rolls, vegetables, fruits and frozen dinners. The Auto Defrost setting is preferred for meat and poultry because the oven sets the defrosting
time and power levels for you.
Power level 3 is automatically set when you press
TIME DEFROST pad, but you may change this for more flexibility.

Questions and Answers
Q. When I press START, I hear a dull, thumping
noise. What is it?
A.
This sound is normal. It is letting you know the
oven is using a power level lower than 10 (High).
For even defrosting,
some foods need to be broken up or separated part of the way through
the
defrosting time.
Check the Defrosting Guide for other defrosting tips.
Foods that spoil easily, such as milk, eggs, fish,
stuffings, poultry and pork should not be allowed to sit out for more than one hour after defrosting. Room temperature promotes the growth of harmful bacteria.
Q. Can I defrost small items in a hurry? A. Yes,
but they will need more frequent attention than usual. Raise the power level after entering the time by touching the desired power level pad. Power Level 7 cuts the total defrosting time in about 1/2; Power Level 10 cuts the total defrosting time to approximately 1/3. stir food frequently.

GLOSSARY OF MICROWAVE
TE~S
When adapting recipes for the microwave, it is
best to start with a familiar recipe. Knowing how the food should look and taste will help when adapting recipes for microwaving. Foods that require browning or crisp, dry surfaces
will
cook better in regular ovens.
Moist foods, such as vegetables, fruits, poultry and
seafood, microwave well.
Rich foods, such as bar cookies, moist cakes and
candies, are suitable for microwaving because of their
high
fat and
Reduce regular oven cooking times by 1/2 to
sugar
content.
1/3. Check food after minimum time to avoid overcooking.
Small amounts of butter or oil can be used for
flavoring, but are not needed to prevent sticking.
Seasonings may need to be reduced. Salt meats and
vegetables after cooking.
Covering. In both
reguiar baking
and microwave cooking, covers hold in moisture, allow for more even heating and reduce cooking time. In regular
ovens, partial covering allows excess steam to escape,
Venting plastic wrap or covering with wax paper
serves the same purpose when microwaving.
Venting. After covering a dish with plastic wrap, you vent
the
plastic wrap by turning back 1 comer
so excess steam can escape. Arranging Food in Oven. When baking in regular
ovens, you position foods, such as cake layers or potatoes, so hot air can flow around them. When microwaving, you arrange foods in a ring, so that all sides are exposed to microwave energy.
Stirring. In range-top cooking, you stir foods up from
the bottom to heat them evenly. When microwaving,
you stir cooked portions from the outside to the center. Foods that require constant stirring will need only occasional stirring when microwaving.
Turning Over.
In range-top cooking, you turn over foods, such as hamburgers, so both sides can directly contact the hot pan. When microwaving, turning is often needed
during
defrosting or when cooking
certain foods, such as frozen hamburgers.
S@nding
Time.
When you cook with regular ovens,
foods such as roasts or cakes are allowed to stand to
finish cooking or to set. Standing time is especially
important in microwave cooking. Note that a microwaved cake is not placed on a cooling rack.
Shielding.
In a regular oven, you shield chicken breasts or baked foods to prevent over-browning. When microwaving, you use small strips of foil to shield thin parts, such as
the
tips of wings and legs
on poultry, which would cook before larger parts. Arcing. Sparks caused by too much metal in the
microwave oven or metal touching the side of the oven or foil that is not molded to food.
Prick Foods to Release Pressure. Steam builds up
pressure in foods that are tightly covered by a skin or
membrane. Prick foods, such as potatoes (as you do
before regular oven cooking), egg yolks and chicken
livers, to prevent bursting.
Rotating. Occasionally, repositioning a dish in the oven helps food cook more evenly. To rotate 1/2 turn, turn
the
dish until the side that was to
oven is to the front. To rotate 1/4 turn, turn
the
back of the
the
dish until the side that was to the back of the oven is to the side.
Basic Microwave
Density of Food.
Guidelhes
In both regular
baking
and microwave cooking, dense foods, such as potatoes,
take longer
to cook than light, porous foods, such as
rolls, bread or pieces of cake.
Round Shapes.
to about 1 inch from top, bottom
Since microwaves penetrate foods
and
sides, round shapes and rings cook more evenly. Comers receive more energy and may overcook. This may
dso
happen when cooking in a regular oven.
Delicacy.
Foods with a delicate texture, such as
custards, are best cooked at lower power settings
to avoid toughening.
Natural Moisture
of food affects how it cooks. Very
moist foods cook evenly because microwave energy
is attracted to water molecules. Food that is uneven in moisture should be covered or allowed to stand so it heats evenly.
24
Piece Size.
Small pieces cook faster than
large
ones, Pieces that are similar in size and shape cook more evenly. With large pieces of food, reduce the power
setting for even cooking.
Shape of Food. ln both types of cooking, thin areas
cook faster than thick areas. This can be controlled in microwaving by placing thick pieces near the outside edge
and
thin pieces in the center.
