MICROWAVE COOKING TIPS (CONT.)

Using aluminum foil (cont.)

•Place the container in a glass bowl and add some water so that it covers the bottom of the container, not more than 1/4in. (.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 1/4in. (.64 cm) between the aluminum containerand the walls of the oven and also between two aluminum containers.

•Always place the container on the turntable.

•Reheating 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 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 microwaveoven to sterilize objects (baby bottles, etc.). It is difficult to keep the oven at the high temperature neededfor sterilization.
