Getting to Know Your Microwave Oven

How your microwave oven works (cont.)

Microwaves pass through most glass, paper, and plastics without heating them so food absorbs the energy. Microwaves bounce off metal con-

tainers so food does not absorb the energy.

Microwaves may not reach the center of a roast. The heat spreads to the center from the outer, cooked areas just as in regular oven cooking. This is one

of the reasons for

letting some foods

(for example, roasts or

baked potatoes) stand for a while after cooking, or for stirring some foods during the cooking time.

The microwaves disturb water molecules in the food. As the molecules bounce around bumping into each other, heat is made, like rubbing your hands together. This is the heat that does the cooking.

NOTE: Do not deep fry in the oven. Microwavable cookware is not suitable and it is difficult to maintain appropriate deep-frying temperatures.

For the best cooking results

Always cook food for the shortest cooking time recommended. Check to see how the food is cooking. If needed, touch EASY MINUTE while the oven is operating or after the cooking cycle is over (see “Using EASY MINUTE” later in this section).

To help make sure the food is evenly cooked, stir, turn over, or rearrange the food being cooked about halfway through the cooking time for all recipes.

If you do not have a cover for a dish, use wax paper, or microwave-approved paper towels or plastic wrap. Remember to turn back a corner of the plastic wrap to vent steam during cooking.
