Defrosting Tips

●

Foods frozen in paper or plastic can be defrosted

in the package. Tightly closed packages should be slit, pierced or vented,

A~ER

food has partially defrosted, as directed by package. Plastic storage containers should be at least partially uncovered.

●

Family-size, pre-packaged frozen dinners can be

defrosted and microwaved. If the food is in a foil container, transfer it to a microwave-safe dish.

●

For even defrosting, some foods need to be broken

up or separated part of the way through the defrosting time.

●

Foods that spoil easily, such as milk, eggs,

f]sh,

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.

GLOSSARY OF

~CROWA~ TE~S

When adapting recipes for the microwave, it is best to

stirt

with a familiar recipe. Knowing

how the food should look and

tiste

will help when adapting recipes for microwaving. Foods that require browning or crisp, dry surfaces will cook better in

re@ar

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 sugar

content.

●

Reduce regular oven cooking times by one-half to

one-third. 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 regular

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 one 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.

Basic Microwave Guidelines

Density of Food.

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.

Since microwaves penetrate foods

to about one inch from top, bottom and sides, round

shapes and rings cook more evenly. Comers receive

more energy and may overcook. This may also 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.

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.

~rning

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.

Stinding 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 the back of the oven is to the front. To rotate 1/4 turn, turn the dish until the side that was to the back of the oven is to the side.

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.

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 at which you normally store the foods.

Quantity of Food.

In both types of cooking, small

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.

How to Clean the Inside

Walls and floor.

Some spatters can be removed with a paper towel, others may require a damp cloth. Remove greasy spatters with a sudsy cloth, then rinse with a damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners on oven walls. NEVER USE A COMMERCIAL OVEN CLEANER ON ANY PART OF YOUR MICROWAVE OVEN.

Door (inside).

Window: Wipe up spatters daily and wash when soiled with a damp cloth. Rinse thoroughly and dry.

Metal and plastic parts on door: Wipe frequently with a damp cloth to remove all soil. DO NOT USE ABRASIVES, SUCH AS CLEANING POWDERS OR STEEL AND PLASTIC PADS. THEY WILL DAMAGE THE SURFACE.

Removable

~rntable

and

~rntable

Support.

Occasionally it is necessary to remove the turntable and support for cleaning of the oven floor or turntable. To prevent breakage, do not place the turntable into water just after cooking. Wash it carefully in warm, sudsy water or in the dishwasher. The turntable and support can be broken if dropped. Remember, do not operate the oven without the turntable and support in place.

Special note when using Brown ‘N Sear Dish:

If grease is present, high heat generated on bottom of a Brown ‘N Sear dish may cause the grease to bum onto the oven tray. This may be removed with a cleanser such as Bon

Ami@

brand cleanser.

After using Bon

Ami@

brand cleanser, rinse and dry thoroughly, following instructions on can. Do not use Bon

Ami@

brand cleanser on the painted surfaces such

as the walls. It may scratch the paint.

How to

Clean

the Oufiide

Case.

Clean the outside of your oven with soap and a damp cloth, rinse with a damp cloth and then dry. Wipe the window clean with a damp cloth. Chrome trim is best wiped with a damp cloth and then with a dry towel.

Control Panel.

Wipe with a damp cloth. Dry thoroughly. Do not use cleaning sprays, large amounts of soap and water, abrasives or sharp objects on the panel—they can damage it.

Door Surface.

When cleaning surfaces of door and oven that come together on closing the door, use only mild, non-abrasive soaps or detergents applied with a

sponge or soft cloth.

Power Cord. If the cord becomes soiled, unplug and

wash with a damp cloth. For stubborn spots, sudsy water may be used, but be certain to rinse with a damp cloth and dry thoroughly before plugging cord

into outlet.

This appliance must be grounded. In the event of an electrical short circuit, grounding reduces the risk of electric shock by providing an escape wire for the electric current. This appliance is equipped with a power cord having a grounding wire with a grounding plug. The

cord from the adapter, always hold the adapter with one hand. If this is not done, the adapter ground terminal is very likely to break with repeated use. Should this happen, DO NOT USE the appliance until a proper ground

has again been established.

Usage situations where appliance’s power cord will be disconnected

frequently.

Do not use an adapter plug

in these situations because frequent disconnection of the power cord places undue strain on the adapter and leads to eventual failure of the adapter ground terminal. You should have the two-prong wall receptacle replaced with a

three-

Prong (grounding) receptacle by a qualified electrician before using the appliance.

Use of Extension Cords

A short power-supply cord is provided to reduce the risks resulting from becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord.

Longer cord

sets

or extension cords are available and

may be used if care is exercised in their use. If a long cord or extension cord is

used—

1. The marked electrical rating of the cord set or extension cord should be at least as great as the electrical rating of the appliance;

2. The extension cord must be a grounding-type 3-wire cord and it must be plugged into a 3-slot outlet;

3. The longer cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over the counter top or

tabletop

where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over unintentionally.

If you use an extension cord, the interior light may flicker and the blower sound may vary when the microwave oven is on. Cooking times may be longer, too.
