Suggestions for getting the best results

To help you achieve the best possible results from your microwave oven, read the following suggestions below;

Storage temperature

Foods taken from the freezer or refrigerator take longer to cook than the same foods would at room temperature.

Size

Small pieces of food cook faster than large ones. Pieces similar in size and shape will cook more evenly when cooked together. For more even results, reduce the power levels when cooking large pieces of food.

Natural moisture

Very moist foods cook more evenly because microwave energy heats water molecules very efficiently.

Stirring

Stir foods such as casseroles and vegetable from the outside to the center to distribute the heat more evenly. This will allow the food to cook faster. Constant stirring is not necessary.

Turn over items

Turn over foods such as pork chops, roasts or whole cauliflower halfway through the cook time. This will help to expose all sides equally to microwave energy.

Food placement

Place delicate areas of food items, such as asparagus tips, toward the center of the turntable tray.

Food arrangement

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

Let the food stand

After removing the food from the microwave, cover the food with foil or a casserole lid and let it stand to finish cooking. This will help the food finish in the center and avoids overcooking the out edges, The length of stand time depends on the density and surface area of the food items.

Wrapping in paper towels or waxed paper Sandwiches and many other food types containing pre- baked bread should be wrapped prior to placing in the microwave to help prevent the food items fro drying out while heating.
