UTENSILS GUIDE

This section lists which utensils can be used in the microwave, which ones have limited use for short periods, and which ones should not be used in the microwave.
Recommended
·Microwave browning dish Use to brown the exterior of small items such as steaks,
chops, or pancakes. Follow the directions provided with your browning dish.
·
Microwaveable plastic wrap Use to retain steam. Leave a small opening for some
steam to escape and avoid placing it directly on the food.
·Paper towels and napkins Use for short-term heating and covering; These absorb
excess moisture and prevent spattering. Do not use recycled paper towels, which may contain metal and could ignite.
·Glass and glass-ceramic bowls and dishes Use for heating or cooking.
·Paper plates and cups Use for short-term heating at low temperatures. Do not use
recycled paper, which may contain metal and could ignite.
4
·Wax paper Use as a cover to prevent spattering.
·Thermometers Use only those labeled “Microwave Safe” and follow all directions. Check
the food in several places. Conventional thermometers may be used on microwave food once the food has been removed from the oven.
Limited Use
·
Aluminum foil Use narrow strips of foil to prevent overcooking of exposed areas.
Using too much foil can damage your oven, so be careful.
·Ceramic, porcelain, and stoneware Use these if they are labeled “Microwave Safe”.
If they are not labeled, test them to make sure they can be used safely.
·Plastic Use only if labeled “Microwave Safe”. Other plastics can melt.
·Straw, wicker, and wood — Use only for short-term heating, such as warming dinner rolls
for a few seconds. Baskets and bowls may be flammable.

COOKING TECHNIQUES

Your microwave makes cooking easier than conventional cooking, provided you keep these considerations in mind:
Stirring Stir foods such as casseroles and vegetables while cooking to distribute heat evenly. Food at the outside of the dish absorbs more energy and heats more quickly, so stir from the outside to the center. The oven will turn off when you open the door to stir your food. Arrangement Arrange unevenly shaped foods, such as chicken pieces or chops, with the thicker, meatier parts toward the outside of the turntable where they receive more microwave energy. To prevent overcooking, place delicate areas, such as asparagus tips, toward the center of the turntable.
Shielding
Shield food with narrow strips of aluminum
especially important with large foods such as roasts.
Standing
Foods cooked in the microwave build up internal heat and continue to cook for a few minutes after heating stops. Let foods stand to complete cooking, especially foods such as cakes and whole vegetables. Roasts need this time to complete cooking in the center without overcooking the outer areas. All liquids, such as soup or hot chocolate, should be shaken or stirred when cooking is complete. Let liquids stand a moment before serving. When heating baby food, stir well at removal and test the temperature before serving.
Adding moisture
foil to prevent overcooking. Areas that need shielding include poultry wing-tips, the ends of poultry legs, and corners of square baking dishes. Use only small amounts of aluminum foil. Larger amounts can damage your oven. Turning Turn foods over midway through cooking to expose all parts to microwave energy. This is
Save These Instructions
Microwave energy is attracted to water molecules. Food that is uneven in moisture content should be covered or allowed to stand so that the heat disperses evenly. Add a small amount of water to dry food to help it cook.
