9UNDERSTANDING YOUR MICROWAVE OVENTIPS FOR MICROWAVE COOKINGBROWNINGMeat and poultry with high fat content cooked for atleast 10 to 15 minutes will brown lightly. Foods cookeda shorter time can be brushed with a browning agent,such as Worcestershire sauce, soy sauce, or barbecuesauce.COVERING A cover will trap heat and steam and cause the food tocook more quickly. Use a lid or microwave-safe plasticwrap with one corner folded back to vent the excesssteam. Lids on glass casseroles can become hotduring cooking; always handle carefully. Waxed paperwill prevent the food from splattering in the oven andhelp retain heat. When warming bread items, usewaxed paper, napkins, or paper towels. To absorb extra moisture, wrap sandwiches and fatty foods in papertowels.SPACINGArrange 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 infoods. Always stir from the outside toward the center of the dish. Food at the outside of the dish heats first.TURNINGLarge foods, such as roasts and whole poultry, shouldbe turned so that the top and bottom cook evenly. Alsoturn over chicken pieces and chops.ARRANGEMENTDo not stack food. Arrange in a single layer in the dishfor more even cooking. Because dense foods cookmore slowly, place thicker portions of meat, poultry,fish, and vegetables toward the outside of the dish.TESTING FOR DONENESS Foods cook quickly in a microwave oven; test frequentlyfor doneness.STANDING TIME Food often needs to stand from 2 to 15 minutes afterbeing removed from the oven. Usually, you need tocover food during standing time to retain heat. Removemost foods when they are slightly undercooked andthey will finish cooking during standing time. The internal temperature of food will rise about 10°F duringstanding time.SHIELDING To prevent some portions of rectangular or squaredishes from overcooking, you may need to shield them with small strips of aluminum foil to block themicrowaves. You can also cover poultry legs and wing tips with foil to keep them from overcooking.Always keep foil at least 1 inch from oven wallsto prevent arcing.PIERCING Pierce the shell, skin, or membrane of foods beforecooking to prevent them from bursting. Foods thatrequire piercing include yolks and whites of eggs, hotdogs, clams, oysters, and whole vegetables, such aspotatoes and squash.

22HEATING/REHEATING GUIDETo heat or reheat successfully in a microwave oven, it is important to follow several guidelines. Measure the amountof food in order to determine the time needed to reheat. Arrange the food in a circular pattern for best results. Roomtemperature food will heat faster than refrigerated food. Canned foods should be taken out of the can and placedin a microwave-safe container. The food will heat more evenly if covered with a microwave-safe lid or vented plas-tic wrap. Remove cover carefully to prevent steam burns. Use the following table as a guide for reheating cookedfood.ITEMS COOK TIME SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS(AT HIGH)Sliced meat Place sliced meat on microwavable plate.3 slices (1/4-inch thick) 1/2-1 minutes Cover with plastic wrap and vent.Note: Gravy or sauce helps to keep meat juicy.Chicken pieces1 breast 1-2 minutes Place chicken pieces on microwavable plate.

The microwave ovenhas 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.The tone tells you that the setting has been entered.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 nearthe oven while you are cooking.The microcomputer controlling your oven may temporarily become scrambled and fail to function as programmed when youplug 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.This light is from the oven light which is located between the oven cavity and the outer wall of the oven.The clicking sound is caused by a mechanical switch turning themicrowave 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 mechanicalswitch. The change in blower speed is from the change in line voltage caused by the magnetron being turned ON and OFF.AnswerFoodQuestion AnswerWhat is wrong when baked foods have ahard, dry, brown spot?Why do eggs sometimes pop?A hard, dry, brown spot indicates overcooking. Shorten thecooking or reheating time.When baking, frying, or poaching eggs, the yolk may pop due tosteam build-up inside the yolk membrane. To prevent this, simply pierce the yolk before cooking. CAUTION: Never microwave eggs in the shell.
25TROUBLESHOOTINGQuestions and Answers (continued)FoodQuestionWhy 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 recommendedafter microwave cooking time is over?Why is additional time required for cooking food stored in the refrigerator?Eggs will dry out when they are overcooked, even if the samerecipe is used each time. The cooking time may need to be variedfor 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 formicrowave cooking(2) prepackaged commercial microwave popcorn that is made for specific times and power output neededFollow 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 attemptto pop leftover kernels.• Do not pop prepackaged commercial microwave popcorndirectly on the glass turntable. To avoid excessive heatingof the glass turntable, place the popcorn bag on a plate.• Listen while corn pops. Stop oven when popping slows to2-3 seconds between pops.• Do not leave microwave unattended while popping corn.• Follow directions on bag.The peel has not been removed from the top half of each apple toallow for expansion of the interior of the apple during cooking. Asin conventional cooking methods, the interior of the apple expandsduring 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. Theamount of standing time depends upon the density of the foods.As in conventional cooking, the initial temperature of food affectstotal cooking time. You need more time to cook food taken out of arefrigerator than for food at room temperature.Answer
