Adding Moisture
Microwave energy is attracted to water molecules. Food that is uneven in moisture content should be covered or allowed to stand so that the heat disperses evenly. Add a small amount of water to dry food to help it cook.
General Tips
•Dense foods, such as potatoes, take longer to heat than lighter foods. Foods with a delicate texture should be heated at a low power level to avoid becoming tough.

•Frying with heating oil or fat is not recommended. Fat and oil can suddenly boil over and cause severe burns.
•Some ingredients heat faster than others.For example, the jelly inside a jelly doughnut will be hotter than the dough. Keep this in mind to avoid burns.
•Home canning in the microwave oven is not recommended because all harmful bacteria may not be destroyed by the microwave heating process.
•Although microwaves do not heat the cookware, the heat is often transferred to the cookware. Always use pot holders when removing food from the microwave and instruct children to do the same.
