Mlcrowaves pass through most glass, paper, and plastics without heating them so food absorbs the energy. Microwaves bounce off metal containers so food does not absorb the energy.

Mlcrowaves may not reach the center of a roast. The heat spreads to the center from the outer, cooked areas just as in regular oven cooking. This is one of the reasons for letting some foods (for example, roasts

or baked potatoes) stand for a while after cooking, or for stirring some foods during the cooking time.

The microwaves disturb water molecules in the food. As the molecules bounce around bumping into each other, heat is made, like rubbing your hands together. This is the heat that does the cooking.

NOTE: Do not deep fry in the oven. Microwavable utensils are not suitable and it is difficult to maintain appropriate deep frying temperatures.

Always cook food for the minimum recommended cooking time. Then check for doneness to avoid over- cooking the food.

Stlr, turn over, or rearrange the food being cooked about halfway through the cooking time for all recipes. This will help you make sure food is cooked evenly.

If you cannot flnd a glass cover, use wax paper, paper towels, or microwave- approved plastic wrap. Turn back a corner to vent steam during cooking.
