Microwave Cooking
Defrosting tips
•When using CUSTOM DEFROST, the weight to be entered is the net weight in pounds, and tenths of pounds (the weight of the food minus the container).
•CUSTOM DEFROST gives best results when food to be thawed is a minimum of 0°F or colder.
•If the food is kept outside the freezer for more than 20 minutes, and for defrosting
•The shape of the package affects how quickly food will defrost. Shallow packages will defrost more quickly than a deep block.
•As food begins to defrost, separate the pieces. Separated pieces defrost more evenly.
•Use small pieces of aluminum foil to shield parts of food such as chicken wings, leg tips, fish tails, or areas that start to get warm. Make sure the foil does not touch the sides, top, or bottom of the oven. The foil can damage the oven lining.
•For better results, a preset standing time is included in the defrosting time. This may make the defrosting time seem longer than expected. (For more information on standing time, see “Cooking tips” in the “Cooking Guide” section.)
Popping popcorn
POPCORN lets you pop commercially packaged microwave popcorn by touching just one pad. Pop only one package at a time. If you are using a microwave popcorn popper, follow manufacturer’s instructions. Try several brands to decide which gives best popping results. For best results, use fresh bags of popcorn. Cooking performance may vary with brand and fat content.
NOTE: If you want to add more time during or after popping use EASY MINUTE. See “Using EASY MINUTE” in the “Getting to Know Your Microwave Oven” section for more information.
