8MICROWAVE OVEN USEA magnetron in the oven produces microwaves which reflect off the metal floor, walls and ceiling and pass through the turntable and appropriate cookware to the food. Microwaves are attracted to and absorbed by fat, sugar and water molecules in the food, causing them to move, producing friction and heat which cooks the food.■Do not lean on or allow children to swing on the oven door.■Do not operate microwave oven when it is empty.■The turntable must be in place and correct side up when oven is in use. Do not use if turntable is chipped or broken. See “Assistance or Service” section to reorder.■Baby bottles and baby food jars should not be heated in microwave oven.■Clothes, flowers, fruit, herbs, wood, gourds, paper, including brown paper bags and newspaper should not be dried in microwave oven.■Do not use the microwave oven for canning, sterilizing or deep frying. The oven cannot maintain appropriate temperatures.■Paraffin wax will not melt in the oven because it does not absorb microwaves.■Use oven mitts or pot holders when removing containers from microwave oven.■Do not overcook potatoes. At the end of the recommended cook time, potatoes should be slightly firm. Let potatoes stand for 5 minutes. They will finish cooking while standing.■Do not cook or reheat whole eggs inside the shell. Steam buildup in whole eggs may cause them to burst. Cover poached eggs and allow a standing time.Food CharacteristicsWhen microwave cooking, the amount, size and shape, starting temperature, composition and density of the food affect cooking results.Amount of FoodThe more food heated at once, the longer the cook time. Check for doneness and add small increments of time if necessary.Size and ShapeSmaller pieces of food will cook more quickly than larger pieces, and uniformly shaped foods cook more evenly than irregularly shaped food. Starting TemperatureRoom temperature foods will heat faster than refrigerated foods, and refrigerated foods will heat faster than frozen foods.Composition and DensityFoods high in fat and sugar will reach a higher temperature and heat faster than other foods. Heavy, dense foods, such as meat and potatoes, require a longer cook time than the same size of a light, porous food, such as cake.Cooking GuidelinesCoveringCovering food helps retain moisture, shorten cook time and reduce spattering. Use the lid supplied with cookware. If a lid is not available, wax paper, paper towels or plastic wrap approved for microwave ovens may be used. Plastic wrap should be turned back at one corner to provide an opening to vent steam. Condensation on the door and cavity surfaces is normal during heavy cooking.Stirring and TurningStirring and turning redistributes heat evenly to avoid overcooking the outer edges of food. Stir from outside to center. If possible, turn food over from bottom to top.ArrangingIf heating irregularly shaped or different sized foods, the thinner parts and smaller sizes should be arranged toward the center. If cooking several items of the same size and shape, place them in a ring pattern, leaving the center of the ring empty.PiercingBefore heating, use a fork or small knife to pierce or prick foods that have a skin or membrane, such as potatoes, egg yolks, chicken livers, hot dogs, and sausage. Prick in several places to allow steam to vent.ShieldingUse small, flat pieces of aluminum foil to shield the thin pieces of irregularly shaped foods, bones and foods such as chicken wings, leg tips and fish tail. See “Aluminum Foil and Metal” first.Standing TimeFood will continue to cook by the natural conduction of heat even after the microwave cycle ends. The length of standing time depends on the volume and density of the food.Cookware and DinnerwareCookware and dinnerware must fit on the turntable. Always use oven mitts or pot holders when handling because any dish may become hot from heat transferred from the food. Do not use cookware and dinnerware with gold or silver trim. Use the following chart as a guide, then test before using.MATERIAL RECOMMENDATIONSAluminum Foil, Metal See “Aluminum Foil and Metal” section.Browning Dish Bottom must be at least 3/16" (5 mm) above the turntable. Follow manufacturer’s recommendations.Ceramic Glass, Glass Acceptable for use.China, Earthenware Follow manufacturer’s recommendations.Melamine Follow manufacturer’s recommendations.Paper Towels, Dinnerware, NapkinsUse nonrecycled and those approved by the manufacturer for microwave oven use.
9To Test Cookware or Dinnerware for Microwave Use:1. Put cookware or dinnerware in oven with 1 cup (250 mL) of water beside it.2. Cook at 100% cooking power for 1 minute.Do not use cookware or dinnerware if it becomes hot and the water stays cool.Aluminum Foil and MetalAlways use oven mitts or pot holders when removing dishes from the microwave oven.Aluminum foil and some metal can be used in the oven. If not used properly, arcing (a blue flash of light) can occur and cause damage to the oven.OK for UseRacks and bakeware supplied with the oven (on some models), aluminum foil for shielding, and approved meat thermometers may be used with the following guidelines:■Do not allow aluminum foil or metal to touch the inside cavity walls, ceiling or floor.■Always use the turntable. ■Do not allow contact with another metal object during cooking.Do Not UseMetal cookware and bakeware, gold, silver, pewter, non-approved meat thermometers, skewers, twist ties, foil liners such as sandwich wrappers, staples and objects with gold or silver trim or a metallic glaze should not be used in the oven.Cooking PowerMany recipes for microwave cooking specify which cooking power to use by percent, name or number.
