MICROWAVE COOKING TIPS
Amount of Food
• If you increase or decrease the amount of food you
prepare, the time it takes to cook that food will also
change. For example, if you double a recipe, add a
little more than half the original cooking time. Check
for doneness and, if necessary, add more time in
small increments.
Starting Temperature of Food
• The lower the temperature of the food being put into
the microwave oven, the longer it takes to cook. Food
at room temperature reheats more quickly than food
at refrigerator temperature.
Composition of Food
• Food with a lot of fat and sugar heats faster than
food containing a lot of water. Fat and sugar also
reach a higher temperature than water during the
cooking process.
• The more dense the food, the longer it takes to
heat. Very dense food like meat takes longer to heat
than lighter, more porous food like sponge cakes.
Size and Shape
• Smaller pieces of food cook faster than larger
pieces. Also, same-shaped pieces cook more evenly
than different-shaped pieces.
• With foods that have different thicknesses, the
thinner parts cook faster than the thicker parts Place
the thinner parts of chicken wings and legs in the
center of the dish.
Stirring and Turning Foods
• Stirring and turning foods spreads heat quickly to
the center of the dish and avoids overcooking at the
outer edges of the food.
Covering Food
Cover food to:
• reduce splattering
• shorten cooking times
• keep food moist
Releasing Pressure in Foods
• Several foods (for example: baked potatoes,
sausages, egg yolks, and some fruits) are tightly
covered by a skin or membrane. Steam can build up
under the membrane during cooking, causing the
food to burst. To relieve the pressure and to prevent
bursting, pierce these foods before cooking with a
fork, cocktail pick, or toothpick.
Using Standing Time
• Always allow food to stand either in or out of the
oven after cooking power stops. Standing time after
defrosting and cooking allows the temperature to
evenly spread throughout the food, improving the
cooking results. For inside oven standing time,
program a 0 power second stage of the cooking
cycle. See Cooking with More than One Cook Cycle.
• The length of the standing time depends on how
much food you are cooking and how dense it is.
Sometimes it can be as short as the time it takes
you to remove the food from the oven and take it
to the serving table. However, with larger, denser
food items, the standing time may be as long as 10
minutes.
Arranging Food
For best results, place food evenly on the plate. You
can do this in several ways:
• If you are cooking several items of the same food,
such as baked potatoes, place them in a ring pattern
for uniform cooking.
• When cooking foods of uneven shapes or
thickness, such as chicken breasts, place the
smaller or thinner area of the food towards the center
of the dish where it will be heated last.
• Layer thin slices of meat on top of each other.
• When you cook or reheat whole sh, score the
skin to prevent cracking.
• Do not let food or a container touch the top or sides
of the oven. This will prevent possible arcing.

MICROWAVE COOKING TIPS
Using Aluminum Foil
Metal containers should not be used in a microwave
oven. However, if you have purchased food which is
prepackaged in an aluminum foil container, refer to the
instructions on the package. When using aluminum
foil containers, cooking times may be longer because
microwaves will only penetrate the exposed top of the
food and not the bottom or the sides. If using aluminum
containers without package instructions, follow these
guidelines:
• Place the aluminum foil container in a glass bowl
and add water so that it covers the bottom of the
container, but not more than ¼ in. (.64 cm) deep. This
ensures even heating of the container bottom.
• Always remove the container lid to avoid damage to
the oven.
• Use only undamaged containers.
• Do not use containers taller than ¾ in. (1.9 cm).
• Container must be at least half lled.
• To avoid arcing, there must be a minimum ¼ in.(.64
cm) between the aluminum container and the walls of
the oven and also between two aluminum containers.
• Always place the container on the turntable.
• Shield parts of food that may cook quickly, such as
wing tips and leg ends of poultry, with small pieces of
aluminum foil.
• Heating food in aluminum foil containers usually
takes up to double the time compared to reheating in
plastic, glass, china, or paper containers.
The cooking time will vary depending upon the type
of container you use.
• Let food stand for 2 to 3 minutes after heating so
that heat is spread evenly throughout the container.
Removing the Rack
• When popping commercially packaged popcorn,
remove the rack and drip pan from the oven.
Do not place the bag of microwave popcorn on the
rack or under the rack. Leave the glass tray in place
at all times.
CAUTION: Popping microwave popcorn with rack
and drip pan in place can cause re or
damage to the microwave oven.
Do Not Can or Sterilize in Oven
• Do not try to can food in the oven. Closed glass jars
may explode, resulting in damage to the oven.
• Do not use the microwave oven to sterilize objects
(baby bottles, etc.). It is difcult to keep the oven at
the high temperature needed for sterilization.

MICROWAVE COOKING TIPS
Cooking Comparison Guide
Cooking with your new oven offers a wide variety
of food preparation options: microwave cooking,
convection cooking, and combination cooking.
Microwave cooking uses very short, high-frequency
radio waves. The movement of the microwaves
through the food generates heat and cooks most
foods faster than regular methods, while retaining
their natural texture and moisture. Microwave cooking
heats food directly, not the cookware or the interior
of the oven. Reheating is easy and defrosting is
particularly convenient because less time is spent in
food preparation.
MICROWAVECONVECTIONCOMBINATION
COOKING
METHOD
Microwave energy is
distributed evenly
throughout the oven for
fast, thorough cooking
of food.
Convection cooking constantly circulates heated air
around the food, creating even browning and sealed-in
avor by the constant motion of hot air over the food
surfaces.
Combination cooking combines microwave energy
with convection to cook with speed and accuracy, while
browning and crisping to perfection.
Timed cooking can be set with microwave cooking,
convection cooking, and combination cooking. Preset
the desired length of cooking time and the oven turns
off automatically.
Hot air circulates around
food to produce browned
exteriors and sealed-in
juices.
Microwave energy and
convection heat combine
to shorten the cooking
time of regular ovens,
while browning and
sealing in juices.

MICROWAVE COOKING TIPS
COOKWARE GUIDE
Microwave Cooking
Most heat-resistant, non-metallic cookware is safe for
use in the microwave oven.
Testing Cookware Before Using
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.
Convection Cooking
• Metal pans are recommended for all types of baked
products, but especially where browning or crusting is
important.
• Dark or dull nish metal pans are best for breads and
pies because they absorb heat and produce a crisper
crust.
• Shiny aluminum pans are better for cakes, cookies,
or mufns because these pans reect heat and help
produce a light, tender crust.
• Glass or glass-ceramic casserole or baking dishes
are best suited for egg and cheese recipes to provide
easy cleanup.
Combination Cooking
• Glass or glass-ceramic baking containers are
recommended. Do not use items with metal trim as
they may cause arcing (sparking) with oven wall or
oven shelf, damaging the cookware, the shelf, or the
oven.
• Heat-resistant plastic microwave cookware (safe to
450°F) may be used, but is not recommended for
foods that require crusting or all-around browning,
because plastic is a poor conductor of heat.
