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.

Variable power levels add flexibility to your microwave cooking.

The

power levels on your microwave oven can be compared to the surface units on a range. HIGH (Power Level 10) or full power is the fastest way to cook

and

gives you

100% power. Each power level gives you microwave energy a certain percent of the time. Power Level 7 is microwave energy

70Y0

of the time. Power Level 3 is

energy

3090

of the time.

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

boil over, such as scalloped potatoes.

Rest periods (when the microwave energy cycles

give time for the food to “equalize” or transfer heat to the inside of the food. An example of this is shown with Power Level 3—the defrost cycle. If microwave energy did not cycle off, the outside of the food would cook before the inside was defrosted.

Here are some examples of uses for various power levels:

POWER LEVEL BEST USES

●

Family-size, pre-packaged frozen dinners can be

●

For even defrosting,

some foods need to be broken up or separated part of the way through

●

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.

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

sugar

content.

●

Reduce regular oven cooking times by 1/2 to

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

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.

Basic Microwave

Guidelhes

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 1 inch from top, bottom

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.

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.

Starting Temperature.

Foods taken from the freezer

or refrigerator take longer to cook

than

foods at room

temperature. Timings

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.

Shelf

(on

models so equipped). Use the shelf to heat more than 1 dish at a time. Take the shelf out when you are not using it.

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.

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

Shelf.

Your shelf accessory is designed for use in a microwave oven only; do not use in a regular oven. Do not use a browning dish with the shelf. Arcing could occur.

Clean shelf with mild soap and water or in the dishwasher.

Do not clean in a self-cleaning oven.

How to Clean the Outside

Case.

Clean the outside of your oven with soap and damp cloth, rinse with a damp cloth and then dry. Wipe the window clean with

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.
