16METAL1) Frozen Precooked Foods in Foil ContainersWhen cooking foods in foil containers, the container should be no more than 1/2" deep. The bestmethod to use is, after removing the foil cover, return the metal container to the paper box or packageit came in and place this entire unit in the microwave oven. There must be more food than metal, andthe metal container must not touch the oven walls.2) Metal SkewersSmall metal skewers may be used if there is a large proportion of food to the amount of metal. If arcingdoes begin, stop the oven, remove the food and change to a wooden skewer.Whenever using metal foil, foil containers or metal skewers, be sure that the metal does not touch thesides of the oven.GLASS, GLASS-CERAMIC, CERAMIC AND CHINA UTENSILSMost glass, glass ceramic, ceramic and china utensils are excellent for use in microwave ovens. Heat-resistant glassware, unless it has metallic trim or metal portions, can almost always be used in themicrowave oven, no matter whether it is clear or opaque. However, you must be careful not to use delicateglassware since it might crack from the heat of the food but not from the microwaves.Most dinner plates, unless they have metallic trim, are acceptable for heating foods.Utensils with metallic trim or metal parts, such as screws, bands, handles, etc. must be avoided. Crackedor crazed glazes or chips are also indications that a dish should not be used. Ceramic mugs or cups withglued on handles are also not recommended for use in a microwave oven.PAPER GOODSFor low heat cooking, such as reheating or very short cooking times and for foods with low fat, sugar orwater content, paper is a good utensil for microwave oven use. Napkins, towels, plates, cups, cartons,paper freezer wrap and the paper pulp board that some meats come packed in are also convenient utensilsfor use in the microwave oven. Cardboard can also be used. Paper is used in the microwave oven as amoisture insulator. Wax coated paper plates and cups should be avoided since the high temperatures thatthe foods reach may cause the wax to melt. Plastic coated dishes, however, are fine for use in themicrowave oven.Wax paper and paper towels provide an excellent loose cover for foods and help prevent spatters. Do notuse paper towels, plates or other utensils made from recycled paper. Recycled paper products maycontain certain impurities which could cause the paper to ignite during microwave heating. Some paperproducts may contain harmful substances.PLASTIC AND FOAM UTENSILSPlastic and foam dishes and containers should not be used for cooking foods with high fat or high sugarcontent since the heat of the food is too hot for the plastic and may cause it to melt or lose its shape. Cookingpouches designed to withstand boiling and freezing for conventional cooking, work well in the microwaveoven. Do not close plastic cooking pouches with the metal tie wraps provided, since they get very hot andwill melt the plastic wrap. Any closed pouch or cooking container should be pierced so that steam isallowed to escape. Do not attempt to cook in plastic storage bags as they will not withstand the heat ofthe food. Plastic wrap may be used to cover foods during cooking. Stretch-type plastic wraps are notsuitable for use in the microwave oven because they form too tight a seal. Whenever removing plastic wrapthat has been tightly formed around the utensil, just lift the plastic away from you so that the steam canvent and there will be no danger of scalding.Melamine is not recommended for use in the microwave oven.WICKER, WOOD AND STRAWWicker, wood and straw may be used in the oven for short periods of time; however, they should not beused for high fat or high sugar content foods since the heat of the food could possibly char the utensil.Wooden handle scrapers, spatulas and spoons may be left in the microwave oven during the cookingprocess.UtensilsCOOKING GUIDE
17Several factors should be kept in mind when selecting utensils to be used for microwave heating.1. A plate with a narrow rim of about 1/2-inch is recommended. This keeps the food all at the same levelfor more even, uniform heating.2. Casseroles and sauced items should be heated in straight sided containers.3. Containers should be chosen to be large enough to contain foods as they expand with heating. Milkproducts are especially subject to boil-overs.4. Most foods heat better if they are covered. Covering retains the heat that has been created, reducesdehydration and helps keep the oven clean. There should be an opening for steam to escape fromthe food. Covers should also be non-metallic to allow for proper heating.Techniques1. Microwave cooking is ideal for times when you run out of certain items or for preparation during slowperiods.2. Avoid overcooking. Small portions of food should stand 2-3 minutes following cooking; during thisstanding time foods will complete cooking. Large portions require longer standing times.3. When a range of times is given in a recipe (2-3 minutes), always cook the shorter amount of timeand check for doneness. Foods can always be returned to the microwave for additional cooking.Overcooked foods are tough or dry.4. Arrange foods with thicker portions or larger pieces toward the outside of the cooking container. Mostfoods cook more evenly and faster if covered.5. The microwave oven is quite useful in reducing broiling times for steaks and chops. Partially preparethe meat in microwave oven, then broil for a shorter period of time.6. Sliced meats should be at least 1/2-inch thick for best heating results. Turning the meat product overonce during the heating process will yield more uniform heating.7. Stir liquids briskly before heating and allow to stand at least for 20 seconds after heating beforestirring or drinking to avoid eruption.Pastries1. Placing rolls or muffins on a paper towel or napkin or wrapping in a paper towel eliminates excessmoisture and gives best results.2. Avoid overheating. Baked items will be hotter on the inside than on the outside. Overheating causesbaked products to be dry and tough.Breakfast Items1. Eggs should be slightly undercooked when preparing them for later reheating in the microwave. Coolquickly and store covered.2. Arrange foods on platter with easily heated items near center of plate (eggs) and denser items towardoutside (sausage).3. Do not cook eggs in the shell. Pressure will build up inside the shell and it will burst. Do not reheatcooked eggs unless they are scrambled or chopped. Puncture the yolk before cooking eggs.Sandwiches1. Pre-toast bread and cool on air rack. Egg and shortening rich bread gives best results.2. Sandwich meats should be sliced very thin. When assembling sandwich, place thicker portionstoward outside edges.3. Cover sandwiches and refrigerate no longer than three hours. When ready to heat in the microwave,unwrap and place on paper towel or napkin. Most sandwiches should be heated uncovered unlesswrapped in paper towel or napkin. The paper absorbs excess moisture, preventing the sandwichfrom becoming soggy.4. Avoid overheating. Filling heats rapidly, and overheated sandwiches become dry and tough.Guidelines for microwave heating
18Casseroles1. Arrange casseroles with larger pieces or bulk of food around the perimeter of the casserole; depressin center.2. Casseroles should be heated covered with a non-metallic cover or plastic wrap except casserolewith crusts. If tightly covered, puncture plastic wrap or loosen at one corner so steam can escape.Be careful when removing plastic wrap; pull wrap away from you with the tines of a fork.3. Cover casseroles evenly with sauce or gravy before refrigerating.Vegetables1. Arrange vegetables with larger pieces around the perimeter of the dish; depress in center.2. Small uniform sized vegetables like peas, diced carrots and corn heat easily in the microwave oven.A butter sauce will speed the process.3. Heat vegetables covered with either a non-metallic cover or plastic wrap. If tightly covered, punctureplastic wrap or loosen at one corner so steam can escape. Be careful when removing plastic wrap;pull wrap away from you with the tines of a fork.4. Most vegetables should be slightly undercooked when preparing for later reheating in the micro-wave. Cool quickly and store covered.5. Microwaved vegetables retain their bright color, flavor and nutrients.Defrosting(For R-21HT, R-21HV, R-21JV)1. See page 12 for EXPRESS DEFROST directions.2. Avoid over-defrosting. Foods should be removed from the microwave when they are still slightly icyin the center. Allow foods to stand covered for 1 to 2 minutes to complete defrosting.3. (For R-21HT) SELECTAPOWER allows you to defrost food at the power level and speed youchoose. Generally defrosting is done at 30% or lower. To use SELECTAPOWER for defrosting, firstprogram time followed by touching the SELECTAPOWER pad and the number pad for percentageof power level (for example, 3 represents 30% power). The microwave power will pulse on and offto defrost frozen foods gently without heating.(For R-21JCA)See page 7 for DEFROSTING FROZEN FOODS CHART.Since different foods heat at different rates of speed, there are several influencing factors that should betaken into consideration when heating foods with microwave energy.1. The lower the initial temperature of a food, the longer it will take to heat in a microwave oven.2. Since with a microwave oven you are heating with time rather than temperature, it is helpful to knowthe starting temperatures of the foods. Foods held at room temperature will heat more quickly thanrefrigerated foods.3. The different chemical makeups of foods affect the heating times. Highly salted foods heat fasterthan non-cured items. Animal fats heat more quickly than lean parts of meat. Fats in a colloidal stateheat faster than protein (egg yolk cooks before the white).4. The density of a food is determined by how compact the molecules are arranged within the food. Apound of roast beef is denser than a pound of bread. Even though they weigh the same, the breadcontains more air and is therefore less dense. Denser foods require longer heating times.5. The thicker the food, the longer the heating time. If two foods have the same density, the thinner foodwill heat before the thicker one.6. The shape of the food also affects the heating time. Low round foods that are depressed in the centerheat faster than highly mounded scooped foods. This has to do again with the density. The denserthe mass to be heated, the longer the heating time.7. The more food placed in the oven cavity at one time, the longer the heating time. This is becausethere is a constant level of energy coming from the magnetron tube during the heating process. Ifthere are several food items in the oven, they will each absorb some of the energy thus making thetotal heating time longer. The time required for heating is not directly proportional to the increasedamount of food. The heating time should be increased by about 80% for each additional like fooditem.Timing guide

21 1. Do not operate the oven empty. Either food or water should always be in the oven during operationto absorb microwave energy. 2. Limit use of metal to those specific examples given in this booklet. Generally, metal should not be usedin the microwave oven during operation. 3. Do not heat eggs in the shell. Pressure will build up inside the shell and it will explode. Do not reheatcooked eggs unless they are scrambled or chopped. Puncture the yolk before heating eggs. 4. Do not heat oil or fat for deep fat frying. 5. Pierce the “skin” of potatoes, whole squash, apples or any fruit, vegetable or meat with a skin coveringbefore heating. 6. Use only popcorn packaged in special microwavable packages. Pop using 100% power. Listencarefully when popping corn. When popping slows to one or two seconds between pops, remove fromoven. Should you ever smell scorching, remove bag from oven immediately. If any unpopped kernelsremain, do not try to re-pop; it may cause a fire. 7. Do not use paper towels, plates or other utensils made from recycled paper for microwave heating.Recycled paper products may contain certain impurities which could cause the paper to ignite duringmicrowave heating. 8.
