COOKWARE GUIDE

Most heat-resistant, non-metaliic cookware is safe for use in your microwave oven. However, to test cookware before using, follow these steps:

1. Place the empty cookware in the microwave oven.

2. Measure 1 cup of water in a glass measuring cup and place it in the oven beside the cookware.

3. Microwave on 100% power for 1 minute. If the dish is warm, it should not be used for microwave cooking.

USE

DO NOT USE

Ovenproof Glass Metal Utensil

• Glass treated for use in high-intensity heat • Metal shields food from microwave energy and includes utility dishes, bread dishes, pie plates, cake produces uneven cooking. Avoid metal skewers. plates, liquid measuring cups, casseroles, and bowls thermometers, or foil trays.

without metallic trim.

China

• Bowls, cups, serving plates, and platters without

metallic trim can be used in your oven.

Plastic

• When using plastic wrap as a cover, make sure that

the dish is deep enough so the plastic wrap does not touch the food. As the food heats, it may melt the plastic wrap wherever the wrap touches the food.

• Place plastic wrap loosely over the top of the dish

and secure it by pressing the wrap to the sides of the dish.

• Vent by turning back one corner of the plastic wrap. This will allow excess steam to escape.

• Use plastic dishes, cups, semi-rigid freezer containers, and plastic bags only for short time

cooking. Use these with care because the plastic may soften from the heat of the food.

• Metal utensils can cause arcing, which is a

discharge of electric current. Arcing can damage your microwave oven.

Metal Decoration

• Do not use metal-trimmed or metal-banded dinnerware, casserole dishes, etc.

Centura™ Tableware

• The Corning Company recommends that you

do not use Centura tableware and some Corelle™

closed-handle cups for microwave cooking.

Aluminum Foil

• Avoid large sheets of aluminum foil because

they hinder cooking and may cause arcing.

• Use small pieces of foil to shield poultry legs and wings.

• Keep all aluminum foil at least 1 inch from the walls and door of the oven.

Paper

• Microwave-safe paper towels, waxed paper, paper napkins, and paper plates with no metallic trim or design can be used in your oven.

• Refer to the paper manufacturer’s label for use of any paper product in the microwave oven.

Wood

• Wooden bowls, boards, and baskets will dry out and split or crack or catch fire when you use them in the

microwave oven.

Tightly Closed Containers

• Tightly closed cookware can explode. Be sure

to leave an opening for steam to escape from

covered cookware.

Brown Paper

• Avoid using brown paper bags. They absorb

heat and could burn.

Metal Twist Ties

• Always remove metal twist ties as they can become

hot and cause a fire.

TIPS FOR MICROWAVE COOKING

BROWNING

Meat and poultry with high fat content that are cooked for 10 or 15 minutes or longer will brown lightly. Foods cooked a shorter time can be brushed with a browning agent, such as Worcestershire sauce, soy sauce, or barbecue sauce,

COVERING

A cover traps heat and steam and causes the food to

cook more quickly. Use a lid or microwave-safe plastic wrap with one comer folded back to vent the excess steam. Lids on glass casseroles can become hot during cooking. Handie carefuliy. \Aiaxed paper will

prevent the food from splattering in the oven and help

retain heat. When warming bread items, use waxed

paper, napkins, or paper towels. To absorb extra

moisture, wrap sandwiches and fatty foods in paper

towels.

SPACING

Arrange individual foods, such as baked potatoes,

cupcakes, and hors d’oeuvres in a circle and at least

1 inch apart. This will help the food cook more evenly.

STIRRING

Stirring blends flavors and redistributes the heat in

foods. Always stir from the outside toward the center

of the dish. Food at the outside of the dish heats first.

ARRANGEMENT

Do not stack food. Arrange in a single layer in the dish for more even cooking. Because dense foods cook more slowly, place thicker portions of meat, poultry, fish, and vegetables toward the outside of the dish.

TESTING FOR DONENESS

Because foods cook quickly in a microwave oven, you need to test frequently for doneness.

STANDING TIME

Depending on density, food often needs to stand from 2 to 15 minutes after working finished. Standing time can be made both inside and outside of the oven. Outside of oven, you usually need to cover food during standing time to retain heat. Remove most foods when they are slightly undercooked and they will finish cooking during standing time. The internal temperature of food will rise

about 10 °F during standing time.

SHIELDING

To prevent some portions of rectangular or square dishes from overcooking, you may need to shield them with small strips of aluminum foil to block the microwaves. You can also cover poultry legs and wing tips with foil to keep them from overcooking.

Alvsrays keep foil at least 1 inch from oven walls

to prevent arcing.

TURNING

Large foods, such as roasts and whole poultry, should

be turned so that the top and bottom cook evenly. Also

turn over chicken pieces and chops.

CLEANING

Wipe the oven inside and outside with a soft cloth and

a mild detergent solution. Then rinse and wipe dry.

This should be done weekly or more often, if needed.

Never use cleaning powders or rough pads. Excessive oil splatters on the inside top will be difficult to remove if left for many days. Wipe splatters with a

wet paper towel, especially after cooking chicken or

bacon.

REMOVABLE PARTS

The turntable and turntable roller rest are removable.

They should be hand-washed in warm (not hot) water

with a mild detergent and a soft cloth. Once they are

clean, rinse well and dry with a soft cloth. Never use cleaning powders, steel wool, or rough pads.

PIERCING

Pierce the shell, skin, or membrane of foods before cooking to prevent them from bursting. Foods that require piercing include yolks and whites of eggs, hot dogs, clams, oysters, and whole vegetables, such as potatoes and squash.

• The turntable may be cleaned at the sink. Be careful not to chip or scratch the edges as this may cause the turntable to break during use.

• The turntable roller rest should be cleaned regularly.

SPECIAL CARE

For best performance and safety, the inner door panel and the oven front frame should be free of food or grease buildup. Wipe often with a mild detergent; then

rinse and wipe dry. Never use cleaning powders or

rough pads.

After cleaning the control panel, touch STOP/CLEAR to clear any entries that might have been entered accidentally while cleaning the panel.

AUTO DEFROST

ThrBe defrost sequences are preset in the oven.

The auto defrost feature provides you with the best defrosting method for frozen foods. The cooking guide will show you which defrost sequence is recommended for the food you are defrosting.

For added convenience, the Auto Defrost includes a built-in beep mechanism that reminds you to check, turn over, separate, or rearrange to get best defrost

results. Three different defrosting levels are provided.

‘Available weight is 0.1~6.0 lbs.

NOTE:

When you touch the START pad, the display changes

to defrost time count down. The oven will beep during

the DEFROST cycle. At this time, open the door and

turn, separate, or rearrange the food.

Remove any portions that have thawed. Return frozen portions to the oven and touch START to resume the defrost cycle.

OPERATING TIPS

• For best results, remove fish, shellfish, meat, and

poultry from its original closed paper or plastic pack age {wrapper). Otherwise, the wrap will hold steam and juice close to the foods, which can cause the outer surface of the foods to cook.

• Food should still be somewhat icy in the center when

removed from the oven.

SOUPS AND SANDWICHES

A large variety of sandwich combinations can be

made in your microwave oven. Because sandwiches heat quickly, be careful not to overcook them - the bread can become tough and chewy. Heat breads until warm, not hot, and cheese until it just begins to melt. Let the following tips guide you when adapting or creating your own sandwiches.

SANDWICH RECIPES

■ Heat sandwiches on white paper towels or paper plates. To prevent splattering, as well as to absorb steam and prevent sogginess, you can wrap each sanwich in a paper towel.

Remove wrapping immediately after warming. It

takes less than 1 minute to heat most sandwiches. Heat on power level 8 (80%).

Cooking Guide - Canned Soups

■ Thinly sliced meat heats better than thickly sliced meat. The slower-cooking thick slices often cause the bread to overcook before the meat is hot.

SOUP RECIPES

■ When cooking canned soups, remove from can. Use microwave-safe dish. Add milk or water as directed on can.Stir halfway through cooking time.

■ Stir cream-style soup halfway through cooking time. Let stand, covered, 3 minutes before serving.
