USING YOUR MICROWAVE OVEN

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

DO NOT USE

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™ 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 you remove it from the oven. Usually, you 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.

Always keep foil at least 1 inch from oven walls

to prevent arcing.

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.

CLEANING THE MICROWAVE

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.

• 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.
