What does “standing time” mean?

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

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.

No. When you place a rack on the turntable, cooking results will be uneven and unpredictable.

Useable metal includes aluminum foil for shield- ing, (use small, flat pieces), small skewers and shallow foil trays (if tray is 3/4inch deep and filled with food to absorb microwave energy). Never allow metal to touch walls or door.

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

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

You hear the sound of the magnetron tube cycling on and off when cooking at less than 100% power.

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 manufacturer’s guidelines or use the One-Touch Cooking 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. Use only special microwave poppers, being sure to follow manufacturer’s directions. Do not pop popcorn in glass utensils.
