COOKING

GETTING THE BEST COOKING RESULTS

To get the best results from your microwave oven, read and follow the guidelines below.

Storage Temperature: Foods taken from the freezer or refrigerator take longer to cook than the same foods at room temperature. The time for recipes in this book is based on the normal storage temperature of the food.

Size: Small pieces of food cook faster than large ones, pieces similar in size and shape cook more evenly. For even cooking, reduce the power when cooking large pieces of food.

Natural Moisture: Very moist foods cook more evenly because microwave energy is attracted to water molecules.

Stir foods such as casseroles and vegetables from the outside to the center to distribute the heat evenly and speed cooking. Constant stirring is not necessary.

Turn over foods like pork chops, baking potatoes, roasts, or whole cauliflower halfway through the cooking time to expose all sides equally to microwave energy.

Place delicate areas of foods, such as asparagus tips, toward the center of the dish.

Arrange unevenly shaped foods, such as chicken pieces or salmon steaks, with the thicker, meatier parts toward the outside of the dish.

Shield, with Small pieces of aluminum foil, parts of food that may cook quickly, such as wing tips and leg ends of poultry.

Let It Stand: After you remove the food from the microwave, cover food with foil or casserole lid and let it stand to finish cooking in the center and avoid overcooking the outer edges. The length of standing time depends on the density and surface area of the food.

Wrapping in waxed paper or paper towel: Sandwiches and many other foods containing prebaked bread should be wrapped prior to microwaving to prevent drying out.

Fish & Shellfish

Cooking Fish and Shellfish: General Directions

Prepare the fish for cooking.

-Completely defrost the fish or shellfish.

-Arrange unevenly shaped pieces with thicker parts toward the outside of the dish. Arrange shellfish in a single layer for even cooking.

-The type of cover you use depends on how you cook. Poached fish needs a microwavable lid or vented plastic wrap.

-Baked fish, coated fish, or fish in sauce needs to be covered lightly with waxed paper to keep the coating crisp and sauce from getting watery.

-Always set the shortest cooking time. Fish is done when it turns opaque and the thickest part begins to flake. Shellfish is done when the shell turns from pink to red and the flesh is opaque and firm.

The Fish and Shellfish Cooking Table below provides specific directions with Power Level and Cooking Time settings for most types of fish and shellfish.

This results in better texture and flavor, especially for delicate items like seafood or frozen meals that require even defrosting.

In addition to Smart Inverter technology, each model comes with a variety of preset cooking options. These presets cater to different food types, such as popcorn, pizza, and beverages, which makes meal preparation incredibly convenient. Users can simply select a food category, and the microwave automatically adjusts the power and cooking time, ensuring optimal results.

The exterior design of the LMVM1955 series is stylish and sleek, featuring a modern stainless steel finish that complements any kitchen décor. Easy-to-clean surfaces and an intuitive control panel enhance the user experience, allowing for seamless operation. Additionally, the interiors are designed for easy maintenance, as many models come with a non-stick coating that resists stains and odors.

Accessibility is another focus with these models, as they offer features like a bright and intuitive LCD display, making it easy to monitor cooking progress. The microwaves also boast a sensor cook feature, which uses humidity-sensing technology to determine when food is perfectly cooked, eliminating guesswork and preventing overcooking.

Safety is paramount in kitchen appliances, and the LMVM1955 series does not disappoint. The child lock feature ensures that little hands cannot accidentally start the microwave, providing peace of mind for families.

In summary, the LG Electronics LMVM1955T, LMVM1955SB, LMVM1955SBQ, and LMVM1955SW combine advanced cooking technologies with user-friendly features to streamline meal preparation.
