COOKING TIPS

Using aluminum foil

Metal containers should not be used in a microwave oven. There are, however, some exceptions. If you have purchased food which is prepackaged in an aluminum foil container, refer to the instructions on the package. When using aluminum foil containers, cooking times may be longer because microwaves will only penetrate the top of the food. If you use aluminum containers without package instructions, follow these guidelines:

•Place the container in a glass bowl and add some water so that it covers the bottom of the container, not more than 1⁄4-in. (.64-cm) high. This ensures even heating of the container bottom.

•Always remove the lid to avoid damage to the oven.

•Use only undamaged containers.

•Do not use containers taller than 3⁄4 in. (1.9 cm).

•Container must be at least half filled.

•To avoid arcing, there must be a minimum 1⁄4 in. (.64 cm) between the aluminum container and the walls of the oven and also between two aluminum containers.

•Always place the container on the turntable.

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

•Heating food in aluminum foil containers usually takes up to double the time compared to reheating in plastic, glass, china, or paper containers. The time when food is ready will vary depending upon the type of container you use.

•Let food stand for 2 to 3 minutes after heating so that heat is spread evenly throughout the container.

Cooking you should not do in your microwave oven

•Do not do canning of foods in the oven. Closed glass jars may explode, resulting in damage to the oven.

•Do not use the microwave oven to sterilize objects (baby bottles, etc.). It is difficult to keep the oven at the high temperature needed for sterilization.

Removing the rack

•When popping commercially packaged popcorn, remove the rack from the oven. Do not place the bag of microwave popcorn on the rack or under the rack.

•In the case of popping microwave popcorn with the rack, that can cause fire or damage to your microwave oven.
