COOKWARE GUIDE

Most heat-resistant, non-metallic cookware is safe for use in your microwave oven. However, to test cookware

before using, follow these steps:

1. Place the empty cookware in the microwave oven.

2. Measure 1 cup of water in a glass measuring cup and place it in the oven beside the cookware.

3. Microwave on 100% power for 1 minute. If the dish is warm, it should not be used for microwave cooking.

USE DO NOT USE

Ovenproof Glass

•Glass treated for use in high-intensity heat

includes utilitydishes, bread dishes, pie plates, cake

plates, liquid measuring cups, casseroles, and bowls

without metallic trim.

China

• Bowls, cups, serving plates, and platters without

metallic trim can be used in your oven.

Plastic

• When using plastic wrap as a cover, make sure that

the dish is deep enough so the plastic wrap does not

touch the food. As the food heats, it may melt the

plastic wrap wherever the wrap touches the food.

• Place plastic wrap loosely over the top of the dish

and secure it by pressing the wrap to the sides of

the dish.

• Vent by turning back one corner of the plastic wrap.

This will allow excess steam to escape.

• Use plastic dishes, cups, semi-rigid freezer

containers, and plastic bags only for short time

cooking. Use these with care because the

plastic may soften from the heat of the food.

Paper

• Microwave-safe paper towels, waxed paper, paper

napkins, and paper plates with no metallic trim or

design can be used in your oven.

•Refer to the manufacturer's label for use of any

paper product in the microwave oven.

Metal Utensils

• Metal shields food from microwave energy and

produces uneven cooking. Avoid metal skewers,

thermometers, or foil trays.

• Metal utensils can cause arcing, which is a

discharge of electric current. Arcing can damage

your microwave oven.

Metal Decoration

• Do not use metal-trimmed or metal-banded

dinnerware, casserole dishes, etc.

Centura TM Tableware

•The Coming Company recommends that you

don't use Centura tableware and some Corelle TM

closed-handle cups for microwave

cooking.

Aluminum Foil

• Do not use large sheets of aluminum foil because

they hinder cooking and may cause arcing.

•Use small pieces of foil to shield poultry legs

and wings.

• Keep all aluminum foil at least 1 inch from the wall

and door of the oven.

Wood

• Wooden bowls, boards, and baskets will dry out a

may split or crack when you use them in the

microwave oven.

Tightly Closed Containers

•Tightly closed cookware can explode. Be sure

to leave an opening for steam to escape from

covered cookware.

Brown Paper

• Avoid using brown paper bags. They absorb

heat and could burn.

Metal Twist-Ties

• Always remove metal twist-ties as they can become

hot and cause a fire.

TIPS FOR MICROWAVE COOKING

BROWNING

Meat and poultry with high fat content that are cooked

for 10 or 15 minutes or longer will brown lightly. Foods

cooked a shorter time can be brushed with a browning

agent, such as Worcestershire sauce, soy sauce, or

barbecue sauce.

COVERING

A cover traps heat and steam and causes the food to

cook more quickly. Use a lid or microwave-safe plastic

wrap with one corner folded back to vent the excess

steam. Lids on glass casseroles can become hot

during cooking. Handle carefully. Waxed paper will

prevent the food from splattering in the oven and help

retain heat. When warming bread items, use waxed

paper, napkins, or paper towels. To absorb extra

moisture, wrap sandwiches and fatty foods in paper

towels.

SPACING

Arrange individual foods, such as baked potatoes,

cupcakes, and hors d'oeuvres' in a circle and at least

1 inch apart. This will help the food cook more evenly.

STIRRING

Stirring blends flavors and redistributes the heat in

foods. Always stir from the outside toward the center

of the dish. Food at the outside of the dish heats first.

TURNING

Large foods, such as roasts and whole poultry, should

be turned so that the top and bottom cook evenly. Also

turn over chicken pieces and chops.

ARRANGEMENT

Do not stack food. Arrange in a single layer in the dish

for more even cooking. Because dense foods cook

more slowly, place thicker portions of meat, poultry, fish,

and vegetables toward the outside of the dish.

TESTING FOR DONENESS

Because foods cook quickly in a microwave oven, you

need to test frequently for doneness.

STANDING TiME iN OVEN

Depending on density, food often needs to stand from 2

-15 minutes either in or outside the oven after cooking

power shuts off. Outside of oven, you usually need to

cover food during standing time to retain heat. Remove

most foods when they are slightly undercooked and they

wi!l finish cooking during standing time. The internal

temperature of food will rise about 10°F during standing

time.

SHIELDING

To prevent some portions of rectangular or square

dishes from overcooking, you may need to shield

them with small strips of aluminum foil to block the

microwaves. You can also cover poultry legs and

wing tips with foil to keep them from overcooking.

Always keep foil at least 1inch from oven walls

to prevent arcing.

PIERCING

Pierce the shell, skin, or membrane of foods before

cooking to prevent them from bursting. Foods that

require piercing include yolks and whites of eggs, hot

dogs, clams, oysters, and whole vegetables, such as

potatoes and squash.

CLEANING

Wipe the oven inside and outside with a soft cloth and

a mild detergent solution. Then rinse and wipe dry.

This should be done weekly or more often, if needed.

Never use cleaning powders or rough pads.

Excessive oil splatters on the inside top will be difficult

to remove if left for many days. Wipe splatters with a

wet paper towel, especially after cooking chicken or

bacon.

REMOVABLE PARTS

The turntable and turntable roller rest are removable.

They should be hand-washed in warm (not hot) water

with a mild detergent and a soft cloth. Once they are

clean, rinse well and dry with a soft cloth. Never use

cleaning powders, steel wool, or rough pads.

REMOVABLE PARTS CONTINUED

, The turntable may be cleaned at the sink. Be careful

not to chip or scratch the edges as this may cause

the turntable to break during use.

. The turntable roller rest should be cleaned regularly.

SPECIAL CARE

For best performance and safety, the inner door panel

and the oven front frame should be free of food or

grease buildup. Wipe often with a mild detergent; then

rinse and wipe dry. Never use cleaning powders or

rough pads.

After cleaning the control panel, touch STOP/CLEAR

to clear any entries that might have been entered

accidentally while cleaning the panel.

OPERATING TIPS

• For best results, remove fish, shellfish, meat, and

poultry from its original closed paper or plastic

package (wrapper). Otherwise, the wrap will hold

steam and juice close to the foods, which can cause

the outer surface of the foods to cook.

• For best results, shape your ground meat into the

form of a doughnut before freezing. When defrosting,

scrape off thawed meat when the beep sounds and

continue defrosting.

• Place foods in a shallow container or on a microwave

roasting rack to catch drippings.

• Food should still be somewhat icy in the center when

removed from the oven.

1. No special techniques are required. Meat should be

prepared as with conventional cooking. Season if

desired. Always thoroughly defrost meat before

cooking.

2. Place the meat on a microwave roasting rack or

microwave-proof plate and place on the turntable.

3. Cook according to the Meat Cooking Table (below).

Use the longer time for large cuts of meats and the

shorter time for small cuts of meats. For thicker

chops, use the longer time.

4. Turn the meat once halfway through the cooking

time.

5. Let stand for 5~10 minutes wrapped in foil after

cooking inside or outside of the oven.The standing time

is very important as it completes the cooking process.

6. Make sure meat, especially pork, is thoroughly

cooked before eating.

times may also vary due to the shape, cut, and

composition of the food.

Poultry

1. No special techniques are required. Poultry should

be prepared as with conventional cooking. Season if

desired.

2. Poultry should be thoroughly defrosted. Remove

giblets and any metal clamps.

3. Prick the skin and brush lightly with vegetable oil

unless the poultry is self-basting.

4. All poultry should be placed on a microwave roasting

rack or a microwave-proof plate and placed on the

turntable.

5. Cook according to the instructions in the Poultry

Cooking Table below. Turn over halfway through the

cooking time. Because of its shape, poultry has a

tendency to cook unevenly, especially in very bony

parts.Turning during roasting helps to cook these

areas evenly.

6. Let standfor 5~10 minutes wrapped in foil after

cooking before carving inside or outside of the oven.

The standing time is very important, since it completes

the cooking process.

7. Make sure poultry is thoroughly cooked before eating.

Whole poultry is completely cooked when the juices

run clear from the inside thigh when it is pierced with

a sharp knife. Poultry pieces should be pierced with

a sharp knife through the thickest part to ensure that

the juices are clear and the flesh is firm.

Cooking Table below. Flakes of butter can be

added to the fish if desired.

5. Let stand as directed in the Cooking Table before

serving.

6. After standing time, check to see that the fish is

thoroughly cooked. The fish should be opaque and

flake easily.

Questions and Answers

Operation

Question

Why is the oven light not on during

cooking?

Why does steam come out of the air

exhaust vent?

Will the microwave oven be damaged if it

operates empty?

Does microwave energy pass through the

viewing screen in the door?

Answer

There may be several reasons why the oven light is not on.

Have you:

• Set a cooking time?

• Touched START?

Steam is normally produced during cooking. The microwave oven

has been designed to vent this steam.

Yes. Never operate the oven empty or without the glass turntable.

No. The metal screen bounces the energy back to the oven cavity.

The holes (or ports) allow only light to pass through. They do not

let microwave energy pass through.

Why does a tone sound when a pad on The tone tells you that the setting has been entered.

the control panel is touched?

Can my microwave oven be damaged if

food is cooked for too long?

When the oven is plugged into a wall

outlet for the first time, it does not work

properly. What is wrong?

Like any other cooking appliance, it is possible to overcook food

to the point that the food creates smoke, and even possibly fire

and damage to the inside of the oven. It is always best to be near

the oven while you are cooking.

The microcomputer controlling your oven may temporarily

become scrambled and fail to function as programmed when you

plug it in for the first time or when power resumes after a power

interruption. Unplug the oven from the 120~ volt household outlet

and then plug it back in to reset the microcomputer.

Why do I see light reflection around the This light is from the oven light which is located between the

outer case? oven cavity and the outer wall of the oven.

What are the various sounds I hear when

the microwave oven is operating?

What is the clock display blank or off?

Do I have to reset my zip code if I have a

power failure?

The clicking sound is caused by a mechanical switch turning the

microwave oven's magnetron ON and OFF. The heavy hum and

clunk is from the change in power the magnetron draws as it is

turned ON and OFF by a mechanical switch.The change in blower

speed is from the change in line voltage caused by the magnetron

being turned ON and OFF.

Make sure the microwave oven is plugged into a working outlet.

Check for a blown fuse or tripped circuit breaker.

No. The microwave oven stores your zip code in the oven's memory.

The only time you have to reset your zip code is if you move to another

zip code.

Questions and Answers (continued)

Food

Question Answer

What is wrong when baked foods have a A hard, dry, brown spot indicates overcooking. Shorten the cooking

hard, dry, brown spot? or reheating time.

Why do eggs sometimes pop?

Why are scrambled eggs sometimes a

little dry after cooking?

Is it possible to pop popcorn in a

microwave oven?

Why do baked apples sometimes burst

during cooking?

Why do baked potatoes sometimes

burn during cooking?

Why is a standing time recommended

after microwave cooking time is over?

Why is additional time required for

cooking food stored in the refrigerator?

What ®

if TrueCookPlus is not cooking my

food properly?

When baking, frying, or poaching eggs, the yolk may pop due to

steam buildup inside the yolk membrane. To prevent this,

simply pierce the yolk with a wooden toothpick before cooking.

CAUTION: Never microwave eggs in the shell.

Eggs will dry out when they are overcooked, even if the same

recipe is used each time. The cooking time may need to be varied

for one of these reasons:

• Eggs vary in size.

• Eggs are at room temperature one time and at refrigerator

temperature another time.

• Eggs continue cooking during standing time.

Yes, if using one of the two methods described below:

(1) microwave-popping devices designed specifically for microwave

cooking

(2) prepackaged commercial microwave popcorn that is made

for specific times and power output needed

Follow exact directions given by each manufacturer for

its popcorn popping product and do not leave the oven

unattended while the corn is being popped. If corn fails

to pop after the suggested time, discontinue cooking.

Overcooking could result in an oven fire.

CAUTION:

Never use a brown paper bag for popping corn or attempt to

pop leftover kernels.

The peel has not been removed from the top half of each apple to

allow for expansion of the interior of the apple during cooking. As in

conventional cooking methods, the interior of the apple expands

during the cooking process.

If the cooking time is too long, fire could result. At the end of the

recommended cooking time, potatoes should be slightly firm.

CAUTION: Do not overcook.

Standing time allows foods to continue cooking evenly for a few

minutes after the actual microwave oven cooking cycle. The

amount of standing time depends upon the density of the foods.

As in conventional cooking, the initial temperature of food affects

total cooking time. You need more time to cook food taken out of a

refrigerator than for food at room temperature.

Check to make sure you have entered the correct cooking code on

your package or from the TrueCookPlus®website.You may need to

adjust cooking time. See page 11 for instructions.
