Microwaving Tips

●

Make sure all cookware used in your microwave oven is for microwaving.

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

●

Cooking by Temperature

Internal temperature is the best test of doneness for many foods.

Use Temp Cook/Hold to cook a variety of foods to the desired finished food temperature. The Time Cook I &II setting is recommended for batters, doughs, frozen foods and foods which are difficult to cook precisely with the probe.

Temp Cook/Hold takes the guesswork out of cooking, because the oven automatically switches to “Hold” setting after reaching the preset food temperature, and maintains that temperature for up to one hour or until you touch the CLEAR/OFF pad.

Note: Oven automatically switches to “Hold” when preset food temperature is reached.

Automatic Roasting

Auto Roast uses the temperature probe to cook to the desired serving temperature. Unlike

Temp

Cook/Hold, which uses a single power level, Auto Roast uses up to 3 power settings which automatically switch during roasting, thus providing even, tender cooking results without overcooking.

Just as in conventional roasting, only tender roasts should be Auto Roasted until specified internal temperatures are reached. Less

tender roasts should be microwaved by time, according to the cookbook which comes with your oven.

Questions & Answers

Q. If my food is not completely reheated after using the suggested code, what should I do?

A. Use Time Cook I and power

level 10 for 30-second increments until the desired temperature is reached. An acceptable temperature for reheating most foods is 160° to

165°F.

Q. What if I don’t fully cover the dish in Auto Reheat?

A. Oven senses steam too which shortens the reheating time and leaves food too cool. Cover tightly and reset Auto Reheat.

Q. Do the shapes and sizes of food make a difference when

using Auto Reheat? A. Yes, in some cases, larger

pieces will require additional Time Cooking. Be sure to check suggested arrangement of pieces in the dish, since proper arrangement is often a successful tip in regular microwaving.

quictiy,

Q. I tried to warm some chow

mein noodles using Auto Reheat.

Why didn’t this work? A.

Food must have some moisture in order to create steam which helps the auto sensor function. Extremely dry foods, such as chow

mein noodles, potato chips and

other such foods, do not have enough moisture.

May I use Auto Reheat when I am reheating many foods in more than one dish or casserole?

A. No. Because foods may vary in

density and amount and in attention needed during reheating, it is best

to use Time Cook when reheating many foods.

Use microwave-safe casseroles or bowls. Cover with lids that fit. If lids are not available, use plastic wrap or wax paper. Plastic wrap should be loose over food to allow for escaping steam. Seal by pressing plastic wrap firmly around edges.

Q. Are there any other foods

which are reheated best using Time Cook, rather than Auto Reheat?

A. Bakery foods, candies, melted

chocolate or foods when a dry or crisp surface is desirable, are reheated best by using Time Cook.

Would my plastic containers

with very tight fitting lids be appropriate for Automatic Reheating?

A. No, most types of plastic

storage dishes, butter tubs, etc. with tight fitting lids are not recommended for microwaving. Tight fitting plastic lids may prevent adequate steam from escaping and food may not heat properly during Auto Reheat.

Defrosting by

~me

The Time Defrost setting 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, 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 for defrosting, but you may change this for more flexibility.

times shown in the cookbook seem right for my food?

A. Defrosting

cookbook are averages and can vary according to the temperature in your freezer. Set your oven for the time indicated in the cookbook. If your food is still not completely thawed at the end of that time, reset your oven and adjust the time accordingly.

thawed before cooking? A. Some foods should not be

completely thawed before cooking. For example, fish cooks so it is better to begin cooking while it

is still slightly frozen. Q. Can I open the door during

How to Adjust

Auto Cook Codes to

Suit Your Taste

By simply adding a 1 after any Auto

Cook code number, you can set the oven to cook for 20% less time than the code would regularly provide.

For example, if code 4 cooks your chicken more done than you like it, set code 41 next time and you’ll get 20% shorter cooking time.

If you want a longer cooking time than a code provides, add a 9 after the code.

For the chicken in the example above, code 49 would provide 20% longer cooking time than the regular code 4 would provide.

Q. My scalloped

not completely cooked when I removed the dish after Auto Cook. What is wrong?

A. If you prepared the sauce in the

oven prior to combining the sauce with potatoes, there may have been too much remaining moisture in the oven. Make sure you dry the oven completely before using Auto Cook since this function operates

properly by sensing steam in the oven. Also, starting Auto Cook with hot foods creates steam in the

oven too soon, and decreases the

first sensing cycle.

Q. Are there any other foods

which are best Time Cooked, rather than Auto Cooked?

A. Bakery foods, candies, melted

How to Reheat Several Different

~pes

of Food

Together

When heating several different types of food together, foods which should be served hot must be placed on the oven floor, while foods which are only warmed should be placed on

the shelf. This is because microwave energy enters the oven from the bottom only. Also, it is important to remember that foods absorb microwave energy at different rates. Rates can be affected by the size of

the food

and

its starting temperature.

Because of the varying rates, you may need to start reheating larger or more dense foods a few minutes

olftime, then add other

ahead smaller or less dense foods.

Alternately, are heating seem undercooked but the others are heated satisfactorily, let the cooking.

Heat or reheat different types of food at High (10). To determine heating times, add times for all
