Can I pop popcorn in my microwave oven? How do I get the best results?

Answers

ANSWERS

No. If you remove or turn over the turntable, you will get poor cooking results. Dishes used in your oven must fit on the turntable.

You can use a rack only if rack is supplied with your microwave oven. Use of any rack not supplied with the microwave oven can result in poor cooking performance and/or arcing.

Useable metal includes aluminum foil for shielding (use small, flat pieces), small skewers and shallow foil trays (if tray is 3/ inch deep and filled with food to absorb microwave energy). Never allow metal to touch walls or door. (For more information, see page 65.)

Yes. The turntable rotates clockwise or counterclockwise, depending on the rotation of the motor when the cooking cycle begins.

This appearance is normal and does not affect the operation of your oven.

You hear the sound of the transformer when the magnetron tube cycles on.

As the food becomes hot it will conduct the heat to the dish. Be prepared to use hot pads to remove food after cooking.

“Standing time” means that food should be taken out of the oven and covered for additional time after cooking. This process allows the cooking to finish, saves energy and frees the oven for another purpose.

Yes. Pop packaged microwave popcorn following manufacturers guidelines or use the preprogrammed Popcorn pad. Do not use regular paper bags. Use the “listening test” by stopping the oven as soon as the popping slows to a “pop”every one or two seconds. Do not try to repop unpopped kernels. You can also use special micro- wave poppers. When using a popper, be sure to follow manufacturer’s directions. Do not pop popcorn in glass utensils.

Steam is normally produced during cooking. The microwave oven has been designed to vent this steam out the top vent.
