Microwaving Tips

IMPORTANT SAFETY

● Make sure all cookware used in

your microwave oven is suitable for microwaving. Most glass

casseroles, cooking dishes, measuring cups, custard cups, pottery

china dinnerware which does not have metallic trim or glaze with a metallic sheen can be used. Some cookware is labeled

“suitable

for

microwaving.”

If you are not sure if a dish is microwave-safe, use this test:

Place in the oven both the dish you are testing

and

a glass measuring cup filled with one cup water—set the measuring cup either in or next to the dish. Microwave high.

If the dish heats, it should not

be used

for

microwaving. If the

minute at

dish remains cool and only the water in the cup heats, then the dish is microwave-safe.

●

Paper towels, waxed paper

and plastic wrap

can

be used

cover dishes in order to retain moisture and prevent spattering. Be sure to vent plastic wrap so steam can escape.

● Some microwaved foods

require stirring, rotating or rearranging.

Check Cooking

Guide.

“

Steam builds

up pressure in foods which are tightly covered by a skin or membrane. Pierce

INSTRUCTIONS

Read all instructions before using this appliance.

When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should be followed, including the following:

WARNING–To reduce the risk of burns, electric shock, fire, injury to persons or exposure to excessive microwave energy:

● Use this appliance only for

its intended use as described in this manual. Do not use

corrosive chemicals or vapors in this appliance. This microwave oven is specifically designed to heat or cook food, and is not intended for laboratory or industrial use.

● Read and follow the specific

“PRECAUTIONS TO AVOID POSSIBLE EXPOSURE TO EXCESSIVE MICROWAVE ENERGY” on page

● This appliance must be

grounded. Connect only to properly grounded outlet. See “GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS” on page 33.

● For best operation, plug

this appliance into its own electrical outlet, to prevent

flickering of lights, blowing of fuse or tripping of circuit breaker.

● Do not mount this appliance

over a sink. Install or locate this appliance only in accordance with the provided Installation Instructions.

● Be certain to place the front

surface of the door three inches or more back from the countertop edge to avoid accidental tipping of the appliance in normal usage.

● Do not cover or block any

openings on the appliance.

● Do not store this appliance

outdoors. Do not use this product near water—for example, in a wet basement, or near a swimming pool.

● Do not immerse power cord

or plug in water.

● Keep power cord away from

heated surfaces.

Do not let power cord hang

over edge of table or counter.

● Do not operate this

appliance if it has a damaged power cord or plug, if it is not working properly, or if it has been damaged or dropped.

● See door surface cleaning

instructions in the Care and Cleaning section(s) of your book.

● This appliance should be

serviced only by qualified service personnel. Contact

nearest authorized service facility for examination, repair or adjustment.

● As with any appliance, close

supervision is necessary when used by children.

● To reduce the risk of fire in

the oven cavity: —Do not use the oven for

storage purposes. Do not

leave paper products, cooking utensils, or food in the oven

cavity when not in use.

—Do not overcook food.

Carefully attend appliance if paper, plastic or other combustible materials are placed inside the oven to facilitate cooking.

(continued next

[?age)

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

(continued)

—Remove wire twist-ties from

paper or plastic bags before placing bags in oven.

—Do not use your microwave

oven to dry newspapers.

—Do not use recycled paper products. Recycled paper

towels, napkins and waxed

paper can contain metal flecks

which may cause arcing or ignite. Paper products containing nylon or nylon filaments should be avoided, as they may also ignite.

—Do not pop popcorn in your microwave oven unless in a

special microwave popcorn accessory or unless you use popcorn labeled for use in microwave ovens.

—Do not operate the oven while empty to avoid damage to the oven and the danger of fire. If by accident the oven

should run empty a minute or two, no harm is done. However, try to avoid operating the oven empty at all times—it saves energy and prolongs the life of the oven.

—Do not overcook potatoes.

They could dehydrate and catch fire, causing damage to your oven.

● If materials inside oven

should ignite, keep oven door closed, turn oven off, and disconnect power cord, or shut off power at the fuse or circuit breaker panel.

● Some products such as

whole eggs and sealed containers—for example, closed jars—will explode and should not be heated in this microwave

oven. Such use of

the microwave oven could

result in injury.

● Avoid heating baby food in

glass jars, even without their lids; especially meat and egg mixtures.

● Don’t defrost frozen

beverages in narrow necked bottles (especially carbonated beverages).

Even if the container is opened, pressure can build up. This can cause the

container to burst, possibly resulting in injury.

● Use metal only as directed in

this book. TV dinners maybe microwaved in foil trays less than 3/4” high; remove top foil cover and return tray to box. When using metal in the microwave oven, keep metal

(other than metal

shel~ at

least 1 inch away from sides of oven.

. Cookware may become hot

because of heat transferred from the heated food. Pot holders may be needed to handle the cookware.

● Sometimes, the glass cooking

tray can become too hot to touch. Be careful when

touching the tray during and after cooking.

● Foods cooked in liquids

(such as pasta) may tend to boil over more rapidly than foods containing less moisture. Should this

occur, refer to the Care and Cleaning section for instructions on how to clean the inside of the oven.

● Thermometer—Do not use a

thermometer in food you are microwaving unless the thermometer is designed or recommended for use in the microwave oven.

● Remove the temperature

probe from the oven when not using it to cook with. If you

leave the probe inside the oven without inserting it in food or liquid, and turn on microwave energy, it can create electrical arcing in the oven and damage oven walls.

● Plastic cookware—Plastic

cookware designed for microwave cooking is very useful, but should be used carefully. Even microwave-safe plastic may not be as tolerant of overcooking conditions as are glass or ceramic materials and

may soften or char if subjected to short periods of overcooking. In longer exposures to overcooking, the food and cookware could

ignite. For these reasons: 1 ) Use microwave-safe plastics only and use them in strict compliance with the cookware manufacturer’s recommendations. 2) Do not subject empty cookware to microwaving. 3) Do not permit children to use plastic cookware without complete supervision.

● When cooking pork, follow

the directions exactly and always cook the meat to an internal temperature of at least

170°F.

This assures that, in the remote possibility that trichina may be present in the meat, it will be killed and meat will be safe to eat.

Do not boil eggs in a

microwave oven. Pressure will

build up inside egg yolk and will cause it to burst, possibly resulting in injury.

● Foods with unbroken outer

“skin” such as potatoes, sausages, tomatoes, apples, chicken livers and other giblets, and egg yolks (see previous caution) should be pierced to allow steam to escape during cooking.

Not all plastic wrap is suitable for use in microwave ovens. Check the package for proper use.

● Spontaneous boiling—Under

certain special circumstances, liquids may start to boil during or shortly after removal from the microwave oven. To prevent burns from splashing liquid,

stir the liquid

briefly before

removing the container from the

microwave oven.

●

~~BoilableJ>

cooking pouches

and tightly closed plastic bags

should be slit, pierced or vented as directed by package. If they

are not, plastic could burst during or immediately after cooking, possibly resulting in

injury. Also, plastic storage

containers should be at least

partially uncovered because

they form a tight seal. When

cooking with containers tightly

covered with plastic wrap,

remove covering carefully and

direct steam away from hands

and face.

● Hot foods and steam can

cause burns. Be careful when

opening any containers of hot

food, including popcorn bags,

cooking pouches and boxes.

To prevent possible injury,

direct steam away from hands

and face.

● Use of the DOUBLE

DUTYTM

Shelf accessory.

—Remove the shelf from oven when not in use.

—Do not store or cook with shelf on floor of oven. Product damage may result.

—Use pot holders when handling the shelf and cookware. They may be hot.

—Do not use microwave browning dish on shelf. The shelf could overheat.

—Be sure that the shelf is positioned properly inside the oven to prevent product damage.

pr;perly (shown on the next page).

Cookware size is important; select from among the suggestions at right. Also, food size should be considered; foods over 4 inches high, or recommended for shelf cooking.

Batters and dough foods and also uncooked foods which need to be prepared from scratch should be cooked without the oven shelf, following cookbook directions.

Extra steam generated from multiple food cooking may make cookware hotter than with regular microwaving.

Cookware for Shelf Heating and Reheating

Before placing food in the dishes, check to see that they will fit together on or under the shelf. Also, be sure cookware is

microwave safe.

Cookware for heating or reheating

include 1 cup measuring cup, 9x5x3-inch loaf dishes or 9-inch pie plates.

Leftovers may be placed in small individual ceramic or plastic bowls or divided plates.

Positioning the Shelf

l\~

To position the DOUBLE shelf, tip the back slightly and fit the shelf support guides onto the support guides located on each

side of the oven in the rear.

Next, lower the front until the shelf support guides fit onto the support guides located at each side of the oven in the front.

When properly positioned, the shelf should fit snugly in place, be level and not touch the back or side wall of the oven.

If arcing occurs when using the shelf to cook more than one food at the same time, turn the oven off. Make sure the shelf is positioned right-side-up on all four shelf supports and not

touching oven walls.

DUTY”’M

Use pot holders when handling foods heated together with your oven shelf, especially when heating larger amounts of food.

Use wax paper or plastic wrap instead of lids on casseroles. Lids may add too much height to dish.

Glossary of Microwave Terms

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 conventionally.

foods,

such as vegetables, fruits, poultry and

seafood, microwave well.

vegetables after cooking.

Covering. In both conventional and microwave

cooking, covers hold in moisture, allow for more even heating and reduce cooking time. Conventionally, 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 one corner so excess steam can escape.

Arranging Food in Oven.

conventional baking, 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 conventionally 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.

Standing Time. In conventional cooking, 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 conventional oven, you shield chicken breasts or baked foods to prevent over-browning. When microwaving, you use small strips parts, such which

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 conventionally), egg yolks and chicken livers, to prevent bursting.

Rotating. Occasionally, repositioning a dish in the oven helps food cook more evenly. To rotate l/2 turn, turn the dish until the side that was to the back of the oven is to the front. To rotate l/4 turn, turn the dish until the side that was to the back of the oven is to the side.

Basic Microwave Guidelines

Density of Food. In both conventional 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. Since microwaves penetrate foods to

about one inch from top, bottom and sides, round shapes and rings cook more evenly. Corners receive more energy and may overcook. This

when cooking conventionally. Delicacy. Foods with a delicate texture, such as

custards, are best cooked

at lower

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 heat can disperse evenly.

Piece Size.

Pieces that

Small

pieces cook faster than large ones.

are

similar in size and shape cook more evenly. With large pieces of food, reduce the power setting

for

even cooking.

Shape of Food. In 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.

Starting Temperature. Foods taken from the freezer or refrigerator take longer to cook than foods at room temperature. Timings in our recipes are based on the temperatures

which you normally store the foods.

Quantity of Food. In both types amounts usually take less time than large amounts. This is most apparent in microwave cooking, where time is directly related to the number of servings.
