6 Some styrofoam trays (like those that meat is packaged on) have a thin strip of metal embedded on the bottom. When microwaved, the metal can burn the floor of the oven or ignite a paper towel.
7 Avoid inserting nails, wire, etc. through any holes in the unit during operation. Never insert a wire, nail or any other metal objects through the holes on the cavity or any other holes or

gaps, because such objects may cause electric shock and microwave leakage.

Utensils

1 METAL CONTAINERS or dishes with metallic rims should not be used. Arcing may occur.
2 METAL TWIST-TIES may not be used in the microwave oven.
3 Do NOT use SEALED JARS or NARROW NECK bottles for cooking or reheating. They may shatter.
4 Do NOT use CONVENTIONAL THERMOMETERS in the microwave oven. They may cause arcing.
5 Remove PLASTIC STORE WRAPS before cooking or defrosting foods in the oven.
6 For FURTHER INFORMATION on proper cooking utensils, refer to the COOKING GUIDE on page 17.

Food

1 Never use your microwave oven for HOME CANNING. The oven is not designed to permit proper canning. Improperly canned food may spoil and be dangerous to consume.
2 COOKING TIMES given in the cooking guide are approximate. Factors that may affect cooking are starting temperature, altitude, volume, size and shape of food and utensils used. As you become familiar with the oven, you will be able to adjust for these factors.

SAFETYPRECAUTIONS

3 It is better to UNDERCOOK RATHER THAN OVERCOOK foods. If food is undercooked, it can always be returned to the oven for further cooking. If food is overcooked, nothing can be done. Always start with minimum cooking times.
4 SMALL QUANTITIES of food or foods with LOW MOISTURE content can burn, dry out or catch on fire if cooked too long.
5 Do NOT boil eggs in their shell. Pressure may build up and the eggs may explode.
6 Potatoes, apples, egg yolks, whole corn squash and sausage are some examples of foods with NONPOROUS SKINS. These must be pierced before cooking to prevent bursting.

7 POPCORN must be popped in a microwave corn popper. Microwave popped corn produces a lower yield than conventional popping. Do not use oven for popcorn unless popped in a microwave approved popcorn utensil or unless it's commercially packaged and recommended especially for microwave ovens. Do not use oil unless specified by the manufacturer.
8 Do NOT attempt to deep fat fry in your oven.

For this reason, metal utensils arenotsuitableforuseinthemicrowave.Acombinationofstationaryinteriorwallsandarotatingmetalturtableor stirrerfanhelpsassurethatthemicrowavesarewelldistributedwithintheovencavitytoproduceevencooking.

Transmission: Microwaves pass through some materials such as paper, glass and plastic much like sunlight shining throughawindow.Becausethesesubstancesdonotabsorboreflectthemicrowaveenergy,theyareidealmaterials formicrowaveovencookingcontainers.

Absorption: During cooking, microwaves will be absorbed by food. They penetrate to a depth of about 3/4 to 1 1/2 inches. Microwave energy activates themolecules in the food (especially water, fat and sugar), and heatisproduced.

If you vigorously ruby your hand to get her, you will feel heat produced by friction. The internal cooking of larger foods is done by conduction as the heat which is produced by friction is conducted to them middle of the food. Foods also continue to cook by conduction during standing time.

FOODCHARACTERISTICS

Quantity: The amount of food placed in a microwave oven has a direct effect on the cooking time. Small amounts offoodorliquidrequirelesscookingtimethanlargeramountsofthesamesubstance.Asquantityincreases, concentrationdecreases.

Size: Small pieces cook faster than large ones. To speed cooking, cut pieces smaller than two inches (5 cm), so microwavescanpenetratetothemiddlefromallsides.Pieceswhicharesimilarinsizeandshapecookmoreevenly.

Shape: Many foods are uneven, like a chicken, ribs or broccoli. The thin parts will cook faster than the thick parts, while uniformly thick foodscookevenly. Tocompensate for irregular shapes, placethin piecestoward the center of the dish and thicker piecestoward the edge of the dish.

Starting Temperature: Frozen or refrigerated foods take longer to cook than foods at room temperature.

Bone and Fat: Because bones conduct heat, the side of the meat the bone is on will cook first, while boneless cuts cookslowerbutmoreevenly.Fatattractsmicrowaves. Themiddleofthesefoodsiscookedbyheatconduction.

Moisture Content: Microwaves are attracted by moisture. Naturally moist foods absorb microwaves better than dry ones. Addaminimumofliquidtomoistfoods, asexcesswaterslowscooking.

Density: The density of food determines how easily the microwaves can penetrate and how quickly it will cook. Porousfoods, likechoppedbeeformashedpotatoes, microwavefasterthandenseoneslikesteakorwholepotatoes.

Piercing: Steam builds up pressure in foods which are tightly covered by a skin or membrane. Pierce potatoes, egg yolksandchickenliverstoppreventbursting.

MICROWAVETECHNIQUES

Stirring: Stir foods from outside to center of dish once or twice during cooking to equalize heat and speed microwaving. Foodswillnotburnorstick,sothere'snoneedtostirconstantlyasyoudoinconventionalcooking.

Arrangement: Arrange foods with thin or delicate ends, like drumsticks or asparagus spears, with the thick or tougher portions to the outside of the dish. The parts which need more cooking will receive more energy, so food will microwave evenly.

Spacing: Individual foods, such as baked potatoes and cupcakes will cook more evenly if placed in the oven an equal distance apart. When possible, arrange foods in a circular pattern. Similarly, when placing foods in a baking dish, arrange around the outside of the dish, not lined up next to each other. Food should not be stacked on top of each other.

Rearrangement: Rearrange overlapping areas, like tails of long fish fillets, from top to bottom, and closely packed pieces, likemeatballs, from the outsideto the center of the dish.

Standing Time: Standing time is especially important in microwave cooking. Microwave energy creates heat in the outer layers of the food. As a result of normal conduction, the food continues to cook for a few minutes after removal from the oven. Lettingroasts, largewholevegetables, casserolesandcakesstandtofinishcookingallowsthemiddlestocook completelywithoutovercooking, dryingortougheningtheoutsides.

Covering: Covering speeds cooking time, retains moisture, tenderizes, insures even cooking and prevents spattering. Casserole lids or plastic wrap are used for a tighter seal. Vent plastic by turning back one edge at the side of dish to form a narrow slot where excess steam can escape. Various degrees of moisture retention are also obtained by using wax paperormicrowave-safepapertowels.

Browning: Microwave energy cooks some foods so quickly that the fats and sugars within the food do not have time to caramelize and give a "browned" appearance. Browning agents do not affect the quality of microwaved foods, but can add color and flavor. For meats and poultry, use bouquet sauce diluted with water or melted butter, soy, Worcestershire, barbecueorsteaksauce,asprinklingofpaprikaordrygravymix;jellyglazeocrumbcoating.Frostingandtopping finishcakesandbreads.Topcasserolesattheendofmicrowavingwithgratedcheeseocrumbs.

Eggscookdifferentlybymicrowave. The high fat content of veggyolksabsorbs energy, soyolks cook faster than whites. It's easy topoacheggsinamicrowave oven, but if you want soft yolks, remove eggs from the oven before whites are completely cooked. Abrief standing time allows whitestoset without overcooking yolks. Check eggs for completion of cooking early, they toughen when overcooked. When eggs and yolks are mixed together for omelets, scrambled eggs or custards, they cook more evenly and need less stirring than during conventional cooking methods. Donottry to cook eggs in the shell. Steam can build up insideth shells, causing them to burst.

T.V.Dinners

To prepare a T.V. dinner, follow the maker's instructions for use with microwave ovens. To cook a T.V. dinner will require approximately five to seven minutes for the food to thaw and heat to serving temperature (dependingonthetypesoffood).

IndividualFrozenFoods

These may be commercially prepared for frozen home. Placethe container off frozen food in the oven and heat only until the food starts to defrost and can be removed easily. Empty contents into a casserole or serving dish and continue to defrost and heat. Do not heat foods in deep foil containers. To crisp and brown special toppings, use the broiler of a conventional oven. If allowed to heat to serving temperature in a plastic container, the container will warp from the high heat off food.

  • If insufficient browning disturbs you, frost, glaze or add food coloring to white or yellow batters.
• Amicrowaveablecookiesheetcanbemadebycoveringcardboardwithwaxedpaper.
• Round glass baking dishes, and fluted or smooth microwaveable ring molds work best for cakes. You can make a microwave ablering mold of your own by placing a medium-size glass in the center of around glass baking dish.
• Because your cakes will rise higher in microwave cooking, never fill microwaveable cake pans more than halffull.
• Reduce baking powder and soda by approximately one-fourth when converting a conventional recipe.
• Fill paper-lined muffin cups to only half full which allows for muffins to rise more than normal.
• You can prepare your own "brown 'n serve" breads and rolls by baking them ahead of time in the microwave oven. Then, placetheminaconventionaloventobrownpriortoserving.
