Turntable/Turntable roller rest! Use and Care Guide

Windmill TM plus Super EvenWave ® System

The Windmill TM fan is a unique Kenmore microwave stirrer system

that is visible on the right wall of the oven cavity. It mixes and

redistributes the microwave energy in every direction within the

oven. The microwaves then bounce off the specially arranged

embossments on the interior walls in such a way that the energy is

evenly distributed throughout the oven. The result for you is more

even cooking, reheating, and defrosting than you have ever

experienced before in a microwave oven.

Cover thin parts with aluminum foil to prevent overdefrosting.

Because some foods will still be icy in the center, it is necessary to have a standing

time after defrosting the food in the oven. Food should be taken out of the oven to

complete defrosting. A longer standing time might be required for denser foods such

as roasts.

COOKING TECHNIQUES

Advantages of microwave cooking are

speed and efficiency. For warming,

heating, and defrosting, nothing really

compares. There are a few tips that will

make microwaving easier and more

enjoyable.

Microwave Cooking Principles

Because microwave cooking requires

only one-quarter to one-third the time of

conventional cooking, the same cooking

principles become even more important.

Quantity

The more food being cooked, the longer

you wilt have to cook it. As a general

rule, when doubling a recipe, increase

the cooking time by about 50 percent.

When cutting a recipe in half, reduce the

time by about 40 percent.

Density

Dense foods, such as potatoes, roasts

and carrots, absorb microwave energy

less quickly than porous foods such as

ground beef or mashed potatoes.

Therefore, denser foods take longer to

cook.

Shape and Size

Small pieces cook faster than large

ones. For even cooking, it is important to

have all the pieces the same size.

Evenly shaped pieces, round or

doughnut shaped, microwave best.

When cooking items of varying

thickness, arrange the thick portion near

the outer edge of the dish.

Moisture, Sugar and Fat

Food high in moisture, sugar or fat cook

faster than foods that are low in these

substances. Add a minimum of liquid to

moist foods. An excess amount of water

slows cooking.

Starting Temperature

Frozen or refrigerated foods take longer

to microwave than food at room

temperature.

Delicate Ingredients

Some foods require special attention

when cooked in the microwave oven.

Delicate foods such as eggs, cheese,

mayonnaise, etc. cook so quickly, they

should be watched carefully.

Microwave Cooking Techniques

Arranging: Arrange foods in a circular

pattern, when possible.

Piercing: Pierce the membrane of foods

such as eggs, oysters, snails, sausages,

livers, clams and whole vegetables, so

they do not burst.

Covering: Covering speeds heating

and prevents spattering.

Stirring: To help food cook more quickly

and evenly.

Turning Over: To help larger foods

such as roasts or whole chickens cook

more evenly.

Reheating: Place food that is denser/

larger/thicker to the outer edge and the

smaller/thinner or more porous food to

the center.

Shielding: To prevent overcooking, thin

or bony areas can be protected with

small strips of aluminum foil.

Standing Time: Foods continue

cooking even after removal from the

oven. Standing time is necessary to

allow foods to complete cooking,

Converting Recipes

Microwave recipes will likely call for less

liquid and cooking time.

Safety Food Temperatures

For your safety, following temperature is

recommended to avoid potential food

poisoning problems.

160°F (71°C): Meat, Fish, Eggs

165°F (74°C): Reheating foods

170°F (77°C): Poultry (White Meat)

180°F (82°C): Poultry (Dark Meat)

SENSOR COOKING

General Sensor Cooking Tips:

•For Foods not listed in the Sensor

Reheating/Cooking Guide, use Time

cooking.

,After DIAL is pressed, do not

open the door while the words

SENSOR COOKING scrolls

across the display. During this

time, the oven is measuring the

amount of steam generated from the

food during the heating process.

The oven then determines the

heating or cooking time for the food.

-Room temperature should be below

95 °F (35 °C).

°Keep the inside of oven, the

turntable and the outside of cooking

containers dry. Wipe off all

spiUovers. Excessive humidity in the

oven may result in an incorrect

cooking time.

,Always cover food completely (but

not too tightly) with wax paper,

plastic wrap or casserole lids.

Loose-fitting covers may cause the

oven to miscalculate time. Never use

tightly sealed plastic containers

such as those with plastic snap

closing lids.

Sensor Reheating Tips:

FROZEN ENTREE

PLATE OF FOOD

• Auto Sensor Reheat is best used for

1-2 servings.

,Very dense foods (e.g. frozen

lasagna) should be allowed to stand

covered after reheating.

• The following foods are not

recommended: Boil-in-the-bag

entrees or vegetables, raw or

uncooked food, food that must be

reheated uncovered, foods needing

a dry look or crisp surface after

reheating, frozen cheesecake, dried

foods, bread or pastry, beverages.

Do not reheat in foil containers.

•When reheating delicate sauces/

dips that contain sour cream, eggs

or cream cheese, use Time cooking

on power level P30.

SOUP

•When reheating canned soups,

remove from can. Add milk or water

as directed on can. Place in a

microwave-safe bowlor dish.

- Liquid must be room or refrigeration

temperature.

CONVERTING RECIPES

Most hot appetizers adapt well to

microwave cooking, the exception being

those wrapped in pastry. Pastry requires

the hot environment of the conventional

oven to become crisp.

° Toppings for canapes can be made

ahead and then placed on bread or

crackers just before heating.

This guarantees crispness.

Cover appetizers or dips only when

called for by a recipe. Use casserole

lids, wax paper, plastic wrap, or paper

towel.

Appetizers and dips that contain

cheese, mayonnaise and other

delicate ingredients are usually

heated on power level P 10. A higt_er

setting might cause separation or

drying.

PREPARATION

• Use a microwave-safe dish, etc.

.Defrost Frozen foods completely.

. Wash poultry and fish in cool water.

-Arrange small items in a single layer

in dish, avoid overlapping edges of

food.

•Place thick sections toward edge of

the dish.

•Use a rack in the dish to elevate meat

out of the juices.

= Use spices, seasonings as desired.

• Add salt after cooking if necessary.

•Aluminum foils can be used to cover

thin parts of meat or poultry wings

and legs to prevent overcooking.

• Foils should be applied toward the

end of cooking time.

•Place meat fat side down.

COOKING

=Use wax paper or plastic wrap to stop

splattering.

•Turn over or rearrange meat, poultry

and fish halfway through cooking

time.

CHECKING DONENESS

Beef: The color inside meat indicates

doneness, Rare roast should be red

inside. Medium is pink and gray

indicates well done.

Pork: Cooked pork meat should be gray

with clear juice.

Poultry: Juices should be clear yellow

when cooked. Legs should move freely.

Fish and Seafood: Should be opaque

in color and flake easily.

To check internal temperature of various

meats and poultry, use a microwave or

conventional meat thermometer after

removing meat from the oven. Insert the

thermometer avoiding bone or fat. Lower

temperatures are found in the center of

the roast or inthe muscle close to a large

bone. Never use a conventional meat

thermometer in the microwave oven.

Return undercooked food to oven for a

short period of time at the recommended

power level. Let stand as recommended

in chart. Cover roasts and whole poultry

during stand time.

TiME COOKING - BAKED GOODS AND DESSERTS

Converting Recipes

When adapting quick bread recipes, you

will find it necessary to reduce the

amount of leavening (baking powder or

soda) by about one-quarter the normal

amount. A bitter aftertaste is apparent if

too much leavening is used in biscuits or

muffins. Since food rises higher in the

microwave oven, you will not see a loss

in volume from the reduction of soda or

baking powder,

If a recipe contains buttermilk or sour

cream, do not Change the amount of

soda, since it serves to counteract the

sour taste and does not act only as a

leavening agent.

When using a mix where leavening

cannot be reduced, allow the dough to

stand about 10 minutes before cooking

in order for some of the gas to be lost.

Breads and roils should be reheated

only until they are warm to the touch.

Overheating or overcooking makes

bread tough and rubbery.
