Containers and Covers

Appropriate containers and coverings help assure good cooking results.

Always use microwave-safe containers and cover them with lids or vented plastic wrap. Wonder if it’s microwave-safe? Put it to the test described in the Microwaving Tips section.

Never use tight-sealing plastic covers—they can prevent steam from escaping and cause food to overcook.

Match the amount of food to the size of the container. Fill containers at least half full for best results.

Be sure the outside of the cooking container and the inside of the microwave oven are dry before placing food in the oven. Beads of moisture turning into steam can mislead the sensor.

Stir or rotate some foods after a beeping signal, if required. See the Automatic Cooking Control Guide section.

For frozen foods in metal trays, remove foil covering and baked goods, reinsert tray into box and close ends of box.

Use microwave-safe casseroles or bowls for entrees and vegetables. Cover with lids that fit. If lids are not available, use plastic wrap or wax paper. Plastic wrap should be vented over food to allow for escaping steam. Seal by pressing plastic wrap firmly around edges.

For frozen entrees in paperboard trays, remove tray from box but do not remove film over tray.

Thick entrees may take longer to cook—see the Automatic Cooking Control Guide section.

Slit plastic pouches 1 inch as shown above. Break food up thoroughly after oven signals.

Use oblong or square containers for chicken or corn on the cob. Plastic wrap covering should be vented over food to allow for escaping steam. Seal by pressing plastic wrap firmly around edges.

Paper plates—while they may be used for Time and Temperature Cooking and Defrosting, do not use them with automatic cooking. Use microwave-safe plates or bowls for reheating. Cover with plastic wrap or wax paper.

Follow Automatic Cooking Control Guide setting for casseroles. Cover casserole meat and vegetables with sauce. If they are not cool, it is better to use Time Cook I & 11.
