How Your Microwave Oven Works
The microwave oven has an electronic tube called a magnetron that pro­duces microwaves, very short radio waves. The microwaves then pass through a wave-guide and into the oven cavity. The microwaves penetrate the food and cause water molecules within the food to vibrate extremely rapidly. This vibration causes considerable friction or heat between the water molecules resulting in a rapid rise in temperature. This type of heat­ing is very efficient and the cooking time is therefore shorter than in a con­ventional oven. The rate of heating depends on the moisture content, shape, volume, and amount of food present. Metallic materials totally reflect microwaves. Non-metallic materials such as glass, paper, and plas­tics are partially transparent to microwaves. Microwaves do not directly heat the oven walls and most cooking utensils because they do not absorb microwave energy. However, they frequently get very warm through being in direct contact with hot food.
Testing Containers and Utensils
Some non-metallic containers and utensils become extremely hot when used in a microwave oven. To avoid risk of scalding, use the following pro­cedure to determine if a container or utensil is safe for microwave use:
1. Fill a microwave-safe container with 1 cup (250 ml) of cold water. Place it in the microwave oven along with the container or utensil in question.
2. Turn the oven on maximum power for 1 minute. Do not exceed 1 minute cooking time.
3. Carefully feel the container. If the empty container is warm, do not use it for microwave cooking.
Hints and Tips
• Stir foods such as casseroles and vegetables while cooking to distrib-
ute heat evenly. Food at the outside of the dish absorbs more energy and heats more quickly, so stir from the outside to the center.
• Stirring or turning foods during cooking will help to distribute the heat
evenly throughout the food and will prevent overcooking on the edges of the food. If possible, stir the food before serving.
• Arrange odd 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, towards the center of the turntable. Arrange frozen food items on a microwave-safe plate like the spokes of a wheel and leave the center open.
1312
• Turn over large foods, such as roasts, halfway through cooking for even microwave exposure.
• 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. For example, roasts need standing time to complete cooking in the center without overcooking the outer areas. All liquids, such as soup or hot chocolate, should be stirred when cooking is com­plete. Let liquids stand a moment before serving.
• 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 cook it.
• Cook the food for the shortest time possible. If necessary, add cooking time until the food reaches the appropriate temperature.
• The quantity, denseness, and temperature of food will determine the necessary cooking time.
• Check for doneness, and if necessary cook or reheat for additional time.
• Foods high in fat and sugar cook faster than foods with high water content.
• Foods similar in size and shape cook more evenly.
• When cooking large pieces of food, reduce the power level to allow for more even cooking.
• Very moist foods cook more evenly than dryer foods. Foods with a low moisture content should be covered during cooking. Allow the food to stand after cooking so that the heat can disperse evenly.
• Covering food while cooking will reduce cooking time, reduce splatter­ing, and help to keep food moist.
• For best results, use a fork to pierce foods with a skin or membrane (for example: potatoes, tomatoes, sausages, egg yolks) to prevent internal steam build-up during cooking.
• The size and shape of a container will also influence the cooking time. Food prepared in a narrow and shallow casserole will cook more quick­ly than the same amount of food prepared in a taller container. Since microwaves penetrate from all sides, round shapes cook more evenly.
• Allow space between foods when arranging on plate before micro-wav­ing.

1. Use a plate or browning grill tray that is BOTH microwave and oven safe to help brown meats. Breads may be placed directly on the Browning Grill Stand.
2. G-1 browns foods in similar times as broiling in a counter top oven.
3. When using a program with less browning grill power and more microwave power, browning will decrease. For example, G-1 (100% Browning Grill) will produce the darkest browning, C-1 (45% Browning Grill and 55% microwave) will have the least amount of browning. C-2 (64% Browning Grill and 36% microwave) is between G-1 and C-1.
4. When using this feature, the Browning Grill Stand must be used. Do not use this feature to brown foods that require more than 3 inches of space between the food and the top element of an oven.
5. The plate or tray, Browning Grill Stand, and Oven will be hot after cooking. Carefully remove with oven mitts.
