Microwave terms.

Term

Definition

 

 

Arcing

Arcing is the microwave term for sparks in the oven. Arcing is caused by:

 

metal or foil touching the side of the oven.

 

foil that is not molded to food (upturned edges act like antennas).

 

metal such as twist-ties, poultry pins, gold-rimmed dishes.

 

recycled paper towels containing small metal pieces.

 

 

Covering

Covers hold in moisture, allow for more even heating and reduce cooking time. Venting plastic wrap or

 

covering with wax paper allows excess steam to escape.

 

 

Shielding

In a regular oven, you shield chicken breasts or baked foods to prevent over-browning. When microwaving,

 

you use small strips of foil to shield thin parts, such as the tips of wings and legs on poultry, which would

 

cook before larger parts.

 

 

Standing Time

When you cook with regular ovens, foods such as roasts or cakes are allowed to stand to finish cooking or

 

to set. Standing time is especially important in microwave cooking. Note that a microwaved cake is not

 

placed on a cooling rack.

 

 

Venting

After covering a dish with plastic wrap, you vent the plastic wrap by turning back one corner so excess

 

steam can escape.

Care and cleaning of the microwave oven.

Helpful Hints

An occasional thorough wiping with a solution of baking soda and water keeps the inside fresh.

Unplug the cord before cleaning any part of this oven.

How to Clean the Inside

Walls, Floor, Inside Window, Metal and Plastic Parts on the Door

Some spatters can be removed with a paper towel; others may require a damp cloth. Remove greasy spatters with a sudsy cloth, then rinse with a damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or sharp utensils on oven walls.

To clean the surface of the door and the surface of the oven that come together upon closing, use only mild, nonabrasive soaps or detergents using a sponge or soft cloth. Rinse with a damp cloth and dry.

Never use a commercial oven cleaner on any part of your microwave oven.

Removable Turntable and Turntable Support Ring

To prevent breakage, do not place the turntable into water just after cooking. Wash it carefully in warm, sudsy water or in the dishwasher. The turntable and support ring can be broken if dropped. Remember, do not operate the oven without the turntable and support ring in place.
