cookware guide _35COOKWARE GUIDEcookware guideTo cook food in the microwave oven, the microwaves must be able to penetrate the food without being reflected or absorbed by the dish.It is important to choose the correct cookware, therefore look for cookware that is marked microwave-safe. The following table lists various types of cookware and indicates if and how they should be used in a microwave oven.COOKING UTENSILS RECOMMENDED USE• Glass and glass-ceramic bowls and dishes — Use for heating or cooking.• Microwavableplasticwrap— Use to cover. Leave a small opening for some steam to escape and avoid placing it directly on the food.• Waxpaper— Use as a cover to prevent spattering.• Papertowelsandnapkins— Use for short-term heating and covering; they absorb excess moisture and prevent spattering. Do not use recycled paper towels, which may contain metal and can catch fire.• Paperplatesandcups— Use for short-term heating at low temperatures. Do not use recycled paper, which may contain metal and can catch fire.• Thermometers— Use only those labeled “Microwave Safe” and follow all directions. Check the food in several places. Conventional thermometers may be used once the food has been removed from the oven.LIMITED USE• Aluminum foil — Use narrow strips of foil to prevent overcooking of exposed areas. Using too much foil can damage your oven, so be careful.• Ceramic, porcelain, and stoneware — Use these if they are labeled “Microwave Safe”. If they are not labeled, test them to make sure they can be used safely. Never use dishes with metallic trim.• Plastic — Use only if labeled “Microwave Safe”. Other plastics can melt.• Straw, wicker, and wood — Use only for short-term heating, as they can be flammable.NOT RECOMMENDED• Glass jars and bottles — Regular glass is too thin to be used in a microwave, and can shatter.• Paper bags — These are a fire hazard, except for popcorn bags that are designed for microwave use.• Styrofoam plates and cups — These can melt and leave an unhealthy residue on food.• Plastic storage and food containers — Containers such as margarine tubs can melt in the microwave.TESTING UTENSILSIf you are not sure whether a dish is microwave-safe or not, you can perform this test:1. Fill a 1 cup glass measuring cup with water and put it inside your oven, next to the dish you want to test.2. Press the One Minute + button once to heat them for one minute at High power.The water should be warm and the dish you are testing should be cool. If the dish is warm, then it is absorbing microwave energy and is not acceptable for use in the microwave.ME179KFETSR_XAA_EN_120503.indd 35 2012-05-03 �� 5:34:35
36_ cooking guide cooking guideMicrowave energy actually penetrates food, attracted and absorbed by the water, fat and sugar content. The microwaves cause the molecules in the food to move rapidly. The rapid movement of these molecules creates friction and the resulting heat cooks the food. COOKING TECHNIQUESStirringStir foods such as casseroles and vegetables while cooking to distribute heat evenly. Food at the outside of the dish absorbs more energy and heats more quickly, so stir from the outside to the center. The oven will turn off when you open the door to stir your food.ArrangementArrange unevenly shaped foods, such as chicken pieces or chops, with the thicker, meatier parts toward the outside of the turntable where they receive more microwave energy. To prevent overcooking, place thin or delicate parts toward the center of the turntable.ShieldingShield food with narrow strips of aluminum foil to prevent overcooking. Areas that need shielding include poultry wing-tips, the ends of poultry legs, and cor-ners of square baking dishes. Use only small amounts of aluminum foil. Larger amounts can damage your oven.TurningTurn foods over midway through cooking to expose all parts to microwave energy. This is especially important with large items such as roasts.StandingFoods cooked in the microwave build up internal heat and continue to cook for a few minutes after the oven stops. Let foods stand to complete cooking, especially foods such as roasts and whole vegetables. Roasts need this time to complete cooking in the center without overcooking the outer areas. All liq-uids, such as soup or hot chocolate, should be shaken or stirred when cooking is complete. Let liquids stand a moment before serving. When heating baby food, stir well and test the temperature before serving.Adding MoistureMicrowave energy is attracted to water molecules. Food that is uneven in moisture content should be covered or allowed to stand so that the heat dis-perses evenly. Add a small amount of water to dry food to help it cook.VentingAfter covering dish with plastic wrap, you vent plastic wrap by turning back one corner so excess steam can escape.GENERAL MICROWAVE TIPS• Dense foods, such as potatoes, take longer to heat than lighter foods. Foods with a delicate texture should be heated at a low power level to avoid becoming tough.• Altitude and the type of cookware you are using can affect cooking time. When using a new recipe, use the minimum cooking time and check the food occasionally to prevent overcooking.• Foods with a non-porous skin such as potatoes or hot dogs, should be pierced to prevent bursting.• Frying with heating oil or fat is not recommended. Fat and oil can suddenly boil over and cause severe burns.• Some ingredients heat faster than others. For example, the jelly inside a jelly doughnut will be hotter than the dough. Keep this in mind to avoid burns.ME179KFETSR_XAA_EN_120503.indd 36 2012-05-03 �� 5:34:35
cooking guide _37COOKING GUIDE• Home canning in the microwave oven is not recommended because all harmful bacteria may not be destroyed by the microwave heating process.• Although microwaves do not heat the cookware, the heat from the food is often transferred to the cookware. Always use pot holders when removing food from the microwave and instruct children to do the same.• Making candy in the microwave is not recommended as candy can heat to very high temperatures. Keep this in mind to avoid injury.GUIDE FOR COOKING EGGS IN YOUR MICROWAVE• Never cook eggs in the shell, and never warm hard-cooked eggs in the shell; they can explode.• Always pierce whole eggs to keep them from bursting.• Cook eggs just until set; they become tough if overcooked.GUIDE FOR COOKING VEGETABLES IN YOUR MICROWAVE• Vegetables should be washed just before cooking. Often, no extra water is needed. If dense vegetables such as potatoes, carrots and green beans are being cooked, add about ¼ cup water.• Small vegetables (sliced carrots, peas, lima beans, etc.) will cook faster than larger ones.• Whole vegetables, such as potatoes, acorn squash or corn on the cob, should be arranged in a circle on the turntable before cooking. They will cook more evenly if turned over after half the cooking time.• Always place vegetables like asparagus and broccoli with the stem ends pointing towards the edge of the dish and the tips toward the center.• When cooking cut vegetables, always cover the dish with a lid or vented microwavable plastic wrap.• Whole, unpeeled vegetables such as potatoes, squash, eggplant, etc., should have their skin pricked in several spots before cooking to prevent them from bursting.• For more even cooking, stir or rearrange whole vegetables halfway through the cooking time.• Generally, the denser the food, the longer the standing time. (Standing time refers to the time necessary for dense, large foods and vegetables to finish cooking after they come out of the oven.) A baked potato can stand on the counter for five minutes before cooking is completed, while a dish of peas can be served immediately.ME179KFETSR_XAA_EN_120503.indd 37 2012-05-03 �� 5:34:35

Use a soft cloth and warm, soapy water. Rinse and dry. CAUTIONDo not get water into the vents. Never use abrasive products or chemical solvents such as ammonia or alcohol as they can damage the appearance of your microwave.WARNINGUnplug the microwave plug before cleaning.Cleaning under your microwave ovenRegularly clean grease and dust from the bottom of your microwave using a solution of warm water and detergent.Cleaning the control panelWipe with a damp cloth and dry thoroughly. Do not use cleaning sprays, large amounts of soap and water, abrasives or sharp objects on the panel as it is easily damaged.Cleaning the door and door sealsAlways ensure that the door seals are clean and that the door closes properly. Take particular care when cleaning the door seals to ensure that no particles accumulate and prevent the door from closing correctly. Wash the glass door with very mild soap and water. Be sure to use a soft cloth to avoid scratching.If steam accumulates inside or outside the oven door, wipe with a soft cloth. Steam can accumulate when operating the oven at high humidity and in no way indicates microwave leakage.CLEANING THE INTERIORCAUTIONEnsure that the microwave oven has cooled down before cleaning it to avoid injury.CAUTIONRemove the glass tray from the oven when cleaning the oven or tray. To prevent the tray from breaking, handle it with care and do not put it in water immediately after cooking. Wash the tray carefully in warm sudsy water or in the dishwasher. See Steam Clean section on page 18CLEANING THE TURNTABLE AND ROLLER RINGSClean the roller rings periodically and wash the turntable as required. The turntable can safely be washed in your dishwasher.
