COOKWARE GUIDE

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

1. Place the empty ceekware 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

• Glass treated for use in high-intensity heat includes utility dishes, bread dishes, pie plates, cake plates, liquid measuring cups, casseroles, and bowls

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.

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.

Metal Utensil

• Metal shields food from microwave energy and produces uneven cooking. Avoid metal skewers,

thermometers, or foil trays.

• 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 TM Tableware

• The Coming Company recommends that you

do not use Centura tableware and some Corelle TM 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.

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 ceekware 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. Handle carefully. Waxed 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 heal 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 doneeees.

STANDING TIME

Depending on density, food often needs to stand from 2 to 15 minutes al_er working finished. Standing time can

be made both inside and outside of the oven. Outside of oven, you usually need to cover food durieg standing

time to retain heat. Remove most foods when they are slightly undereooked 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.

Always 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 sef_ 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 sol_ cloth. Once they are

clean, rinse well and dry with a sef_ 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 foed 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

Throe 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.

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.

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 breeds until warm, not hot, and cheese until itjust 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 ssnwich 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 Guido - 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 c_am-style soup halfway through cooking time, Letstand, covered, 3 minutes before

serving.
