(Pyroceram _-_)
Heat-resistant glass Utensils with metallic trim or metal parts, such as screws, bands, handles, etc, must be
avoided Cracked or crazed glazes or chips are also indications that a dish should not be
used
Microwave safe plastics Follow manufacturers' recommendations for use with specific foods
Paper plates Paper plates may be used for reheating,,

stoneware and porcelain attractive microwave cook-and-serve ware, Use only those labeled, "microwave safe",
Straw, wicker & wood Straw, wicker and wood may be used in the oven for short periods of time, However, they
should not be used for high fat or high sugar content foods since the heat of food could
possibly char them
Paper towels Paper towels are good for covering foods for reheating and absorbing fat while cooking
bacon.
Wax paper Wax paper can be used for cooking and reheating.
Plastic wrap Plastic wrap that is specially marked for microwave use can be used for cooking and
reheating
DO NOT allow the plastic wrap to touch food Vent so sleam can escape
Lids Lids that are microwave safe are a good choice because heat is kept near the food to hasten
cooking..
Oven cooking bags Oven cooking bags are good for large meats or foods that need tenderizing DO NOT use
metal twist ties Remember to slit bag so steam can escape,
Aluminum foil Small flat pieces of aluminum foil placed smoothly on the food can be used to shield areas
that are either defrosting or cooking too quickly

have been cooked to safe temperatures
About Microwave Cooking
* Arrange food carefully Place thickest areas toward outside of dish
* Watch cooking time Cook for the shortest amount of time indicated and add more as needed Foods severely overcooked
can smoke or ignite
* Cover foods while cooking Check recipe or cookbook for suggestions: paper towels, wax paper, microwave plastic wrap
era lid Covers prevent spattering and help foods to cook evenly
"Shield with small flat pieces of aluminum foil any areas of meat or poultry to prevent overcooking or over defrosting,.
* Stir foods from outside to center of dish once or twice during cooking, if possible
* Turn foods over once during microwaving tospeed cooking of such foods as chicken and hamburgers Large items like roasts
or turkey breasts must be turned over at least once
* Rearrange foods like meatballs halfway through cooking both from top to bottom and from the center of the dish to the
outside
* Add standing time, Remove food from oven and stir, if possible Cover' for standing time which a_iows the food to finish
cooking without overcooking
* Check for aloneness Look for signs indicating that cooking temperatures have been reached
Doneness signs include:
- Food steams throughout, not just at edge
- Center bottom of dish is very hot to the touch
- Poultry thigh joints move easily.
- Meat and poultry show no pinkness
- Fish isopaque and flakes easily with a fork
About Safety
* Check foods to see that they are cooked to the United States Department of Agricu_ture*s recommended temperatures:
- 160°F for fresh pork, fish, seafood, egg dishes and frozen prepared food,
- 165°F for leftover, ready-to-heat refrigerated, and deli and carry-out "fresh" food
- 170°F white meat of poultry
- 180_F dark meat of poultry
To test for doneness, insert a meat thermometer in a thick or dense area away from fat or bone. NEVER leave the thermometer
in food during cooking, unless it is approved for microwave oven use
* Always use potholders to prevent burns when handling utensils that are in contact with hot food
Enough heat from the food can transfer through utensils to cause skin burns,
* Avoid steam burns by directing steam away from the face and hands, Slowly lift the farthest edge of a dish's covering and
carefully open popcorn and oven cooking bags away from the face.,
• Stay near the oven while it's in use and check cooking progress frequently so that there is no chance of overcooking food
* NEVER use the cavity for storing cookbooks or other items
* Select, store and handle food carefully to preserve its high quality and minimize the spread of foodborne bacteria
* Keep wave guide cover clean Food residue can cause arcing and/or fires
* Keep aluminum foil used for shielding at least 1 inch away from walls, ceiling and door

Manual Defrost
Ifthe food that you wish to defrost is not listed on the DEFROST CHART or is above or below the limits in the "Amount" column
on the DEFROST CHART, you need to defrost manually,
You can defrost any frozen food, either raw or previously cooked, by using Power Level 3 Follow the exact 3 -step procedure
found under Time Cooking on page 9. Estimate defrosting time and press 3 for 30% when you select the power level
For either raw or previously cooked frozen food the rule of thumb is approximately 5 minutes per pound For example, defrost
5 minutes for 2-3 cups of casserole or 1 pound of frozen spaghetti sauce
Always stop the oven periodically to remove or separate the portions that are defrosted If food is not defrosted at the end of the
estimated defrosting time, program the oven in 1 mlnute increments on Power Level 3 until totally defrosted
When using plastic containers from the freezer defrost only long enough to remove from the plastic in order to place in amicrowave
safe dish.
