MICROWAVE OVEN USE

A magnetron in the microwave oven produces microwaves which reflect off the metal floor, walls, and ceiling and pass through the turntable and appropriate cookware to the food. Microwaves are attracted to and absorbed by fat, sugar, and water molecules

in the food, causing them to move, producing friction and heat, which cooks the food.

■■ To avoid damage to the microwave oven, do not lean on or allow children to swing on the microwave oven door.

■■ To avoid damage to the microwave oven, do not operate microwave oven when it is empty.

■■ Baby bottles and baby food jars should not be heated in microwave oven.

■■ Clothes, flowers, fruit, herbs, wood, gourds, paper, including brown paper bags and newspaper, should not be dried in microwave oven.

■■ Paraffin wax will not melt in the microwave oven because it does not absorb microwaves.

■■ Use oven mitts or pot holders when removing containers from microwave oven.

■■ Do not overcook potatoes. At the end of the recommended cook time, potatoes should be slightly firm. Let potatoes stand for 5 minutes. They will finish cooking while standing.

■■ Do not cook or reheat whole eggs inside the shell. Steam buildup in whole eggs may cause them to burst, requiring significant cleanup of microwave oven cavity. Cover poached eggs and allow a standing time.

Food Characteristics

When microwave cooking, the amount, size and shape, starting temperature, composition, and density of the food affect cooking results.

Amount of Food

The more food heated at once, the longer the cook time needed. Check for doneness and add small increments of time if necessary.

Size and Shape

Smaller pieces of food will cook more quickly than larger pieces, and uniformly shaped foods cook more evenly than irregularly shaped food.

Starting Temperature

Room temperature foods will heat faster than refrigerated foods, and refrigerated foods will heat faster than frozen foods.

Composition and Density

Foods high in fat and sugar will reach a higher temperature, and will heat faster than other foods. Heavy, dense foods, such as meat and potatoes, require a longer cook time than the same size of a light, porous food, such as cake.

6

Cooking Guidelines

Covering

Covering food helps retain moisture, shorten cook time, and reduce spattering. Use the lid supplied with cookware. If a lid is not available, wax paper, paper towels, or plastic wrap approved for microwave ovens may be used. Plastic wrap should be turned back at one corner to provide an opening to vent steam. Condensation on the door and cavity surfaces is normal during heavy cooking.

Stirring and Turning

Stirring and turning redistributes heat evenly to avoid overcooking the outer edges of food. Stir from outside to center. If possible, turn food over from bottom to top.

Arranging

If heating irregularly shaped or different sized foods, arrange the thinner parts and smaller sized items toward the center. If cooking several items of the same size and shape, place them in a ring pattern, leaving the center of the ring empty.

Piercing

Before heating, use a fork or small knife to pierce or prick foods that have a skin or membrane, such as potatoes, egg yolks, chicken livers, hot dogs, and sausage. Prick in several places to allow steam to vent.

Shielding

Use small, flat pieces of aluminum foil to shield the thin pieces of irregularly shaped foods, bones, and foods such as chicken wings, leg tips, and fish tails. See the “Aluminum Foil and Metal” section first.

Standing Time

Food will continue to cook by the natural conduction of heat even after the microwave cooking cycle ends. The length of standing time depends on the volume and density of the food.

Cookware and Dinnerware

Cookware and dinnerware must fit on the turntable. Always use oven mitts or pot holders when handling because any dish may become hot from heat transferred from the food. Do not use cookware and dinnerware with gold or silver trim. Use the following chart as a guide, then test before using.

Material	Recommendations
Aluminum Foil,	See the “Aluminum Foil and Metal”
Metal	section.
Browning Dish	Bottom must be at least 3/16"
	(5 mm) above the turntable. Follow
	manufacturer’s recommendations.
Ceramic Glass,	Acceptable for use.

Wooden
Containers

Material	Recommendations
Wax Paper	Acceptable for use.

To Test Cookware or Dinnerware for Microwave Use:

1.Place cookware or dinnerware in microwave oven with 1 cup (250 mL) of water beside it.

2.Cook at 100% cooking power for 1 minute.

Do not use cookware or dinnerware if it becomes hot and the water stays cool.

Aluminum Foil and Metal

Always use oven mitts or pot holders when removing dishes from the microwave oven.

Aluminum foil and some metal can be used in the microwave oven. If not used properly, arcing (a blue flash of light) can occur and cause damage to the microwave oven.

OK for Use

Racks and bakeware supplied with the microwave oven (on some models), aluminum foil for shielding, and approved meat thermometers may be used with the following guidelines:

■■ To avoid damage to the microwave oven, do not allow aluminum foil or metal to touch the inside cavity walls, ceiling, or floor.

■■ Always use the turntable.

■■ To avoid damage to the microwave oven, do not allow contact with another metal object during microwave cooking.

Do Not Use

Metal cookware and bakeware, gold, silver, pewter, nonapproved meat thermometers, skewers, twist ties, foil liners such as sandwich wrappers, staples, and objects with gold or silver trim or a metallic glaze should not be used in the microwave oven.

7

Microwave Cooking Power

Many recipes for microwave cooking specify which cooking power to use by percent, name or number. For example, 70% = 7 = Medium-High.

Use the following chart as a general guide for the suggested cooking power of specific foods.

Percent/Name	Use
100%, High	Quick-heating convenience foods
(default setting)	and foods with high water content,
	such as soups, beverages, and most
	vegetables.
90%	Cooking small, tender pieces of meat,
	ground meat, poultry pieces, and fish
	fillets. Heating cream soups.
80%	Heating rice, pasta, or stirrable
	casseroles.
	Cooking and heating foods that need
	a cook power lower than high. For
	example, whole fish and meat loaf.
70%, Medium-High	Reheating a single serving of food.
60%	Cooking sensitive foods such as
	cheese and egg dishes, pudding, and
	custards.
	Cooking non-stirrable casseroles,
	such as lasagna.
50%, Medium	Cooking ham, whole poultry, and pot
	roasts.
	Simmering stews.
40%	Melting chocolate.
	Heating bread, rolls, and pastries.
30%, Medium-Low,	Defrosting bread, fish, meats, poultry,
Defrost	and precooked foods.
20%	Softening butter, cheese, and ice
	cream.
10%, Low	Taking chill out of fruit.
