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 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 cooking. 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 manufacturer’s label for use of any

paper product in the microwave oven.

• 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

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 may split or crack 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 corner 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 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, pouitry, fish, and vegetabies 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 either in or outside of oven to finish

cooking after cooking power shuts off. Outside of oven,

you usually need to cover food during standing time to

retain heat. Remove most foods when they are slightiy

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 dish es 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

to prevent arcing.

inch from oven walls

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 glass 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

Three 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.

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.

• For best results, shape your ground meat into the

form of a doughnut before freezing. When defrosting,

scrape off thawed meat when the beep sounds and continue defrosting.

• Place foods in a shallow container or on a microwave roasting rack to catch drippings.

• Food should still be somewhat icy in the center when removed from the oven.

EXPRESS DEFROST

This feature should be used only when you defrost 1 pound of frozen ground beef.

COOKING TIPS

USING YOUR MICROWAVE OVEN

WARNING: Do not use aluminum foil during cooking cycle.

Meat

1. No special techniques are required. Meat should be prepared as with conventional cooking. Season if desired. Always thoroughly defrost meat before cook ing.

2. Place the meat on a microwave roasting rack or microwave-proof plate and place on the turntable.

3. Cook according to the Meat Cooking Table (below). Use the longer time for large cuts of meats and the shorter time for small cuts of meats. For thicker chops, use the longer time.

4. Turn the meat once halfway through the cooking

time.

5. Let stand for 5-10 minutes in oven after cooking.

The standing time is very important as it

completes the cooking process.

6. Make sure meat, especially pork, is thoroughly

cooked before eating.

Poultry

1. No special techniques are required. Poultry should be prepared as with conventional cooking. Season if desired.

2. Poultry should be thoroughly defrosted. Remove giblets and any metal damps.

3. Prick the skin and brush lightly with vegetable oil unless the poultry is self-basting.

4. All poultry should be placed on a microwave roasting rack or a microwave-proof plate and placed on the

turntable.

5. Cook according to the instructions in the Poultry Cooking Table below. Turn over halfway through the cooking time. Because of its shape, poultry has a

tendency to cook unevenly, especially in very bony

parts.Turning during roasting helps to cook these areas evenly.

6. Let stand for 5-10 minutes in oven after cooking

before carving. The standing time is very important, as it completes the cooking process.

7. Make sure poultry is thoroughly cooked before eating. Whole poultry is completely cooked when the juices

run clear from the inside thigh when it is pierced with a sharp knife. Poultry pieces should be pierced with a sharp knife through the thickest part to ensure that

the juices are clear and the flesh is firm.

Questions and Answers

Operation

TROUBLESHOOTING

Question

Why is the oven light not on during cooking?

Why does steam come out of the air exhaust vent?

Will the microwave oven be damaged if it operates empty?

Does microwave energy pass through the viewing screen in the door?

Why does a tone sound when a pad on

the control panel is touched?

Can my microwave oven be damaged if

food is cooked for too iong?

When the oven is plugged into the wall outlet for the first time, and it does not

work properly.What is wrong?

Answer

There may be several reasons why the oven light is not on. Have you:

• Set a cooking time?

• Touched START?

Steam is normally produced during cooking. The microwave oven has been designed to vent this steam.

Yes. Never operate the oven empty or without the glass turntable.

No. The metal screen bounces the energy back to the oven cavity. The holes (or ports) allow only light to pass through. They do not let microwave energy pass through.

The tone tells you that the setting has been entered.

Like any other cooking appliance, it is possible to overcook food to the point that the food creates smoke and even possibly fire, and damage to the inside of the oven. It is always best to be near the oven while you are cooking.

The microcomputer controlling your oven may temporarily become scrambled and fail to function as programmed when you plug in for the first time or when power resumes after a power interruption. Unplug the oven from the 120 volt household outlet and then plug it back in to reset the microcomputer.

Why do I see light reflection around the outer case?

What are the various sounds I hear when the microwave oven is operating?

This light is from the oven light which is located between the oven cavity and the outer wall of the oven.

The clicking sound is caused by a mechanical switch turning the microwave oven’s magnetron ON and OFF.

The heavy hum and clunk is from the change in power the magnetron draws as it is turned ON and OFF by a mechanical switch.The change in blower speed is from the change in line voltage caused by the magnetron being turned ON and OFF.

Question

Answer

What is wrong when baked foods have a

hard, dry, brown spot?

Why do eggs sometimes pop? When baking, frying, or poaching eggs, the yolk may pop due to

Why are scrambled eggs sometimes a

little dry after cooking?

Is it possible to pop popcorn in a microwave oven?

A hard, dry, brown spot indicates overcooking. Shorten the cooking or reheating time.

steam build-up inside the yolk membrane. To prevent this, simply pierce the yolk with a wooden toothpick before cooking. CAUTION: Never microwave eggs in the shell.

Eggs will dry out when they are overcooked, even if the same recipe is used each time. The cooking time may need to be varied for one of these reasons:

• Eggs vary in size.

• Eggs are at room temperature one time and at refrigerator

temperature another time.

• Eggs continue cooking during standing time.

Yes, if using one of the two methods described below: (1) microwave-popping devices designed specifically for microwave

cooking

(2) prepackaged commercial microwave popcorn that is made

for specific times and power output needed

Follow exact directions given by each manufacturer for its popcorn popping product and do not leave the oven unattended while the corn is being popped. If corn fails to pop after the suggested time, discontinue cooking. Overcooking could result in an oven fire. CAUTION:

• Never use a brown paper bag for popping corn or attempt to

pop leftover kernels.

Why do baked apples sometimes burst during cooking?

Why do baked potatoes sometimes

burn during cooking?

Why is a standing time recommended after microwave cooking time is over?

Why is additional time required for cooking food stored in the refrigerator?

The pee! has not been removed from the top half of each apple to allow for expansion of the interior of the apple during cooking. As in conventional cooking methods, the interior of the apple expands during the cooking process.

If the cooking time is too long, fire could result. At the end of the recommended cooking time, potatoes should be slightly firm.

CAUTION: Do not overcook.

Standing time allows foods to continue cooking evenly for a few minutes after the actual microwave oven cooking cycle. The amount of standing time depends upon the density of the foods.

As in conventional cooking, the initial temperature of food affects total cooking time. You need more time to cook food taken out of a refrigerator than for food at room temperature.
