Cooking in your microwave oven
Be sure to read the microwave cooking information and recipes starting on page 15. They contain information about:
l What is microwave energy?
lHow food is cooked by microwave energy.
l What affects cooking speed and cooking evenness. l Safety tips.
. Utensils to use when cooking in a microwave oven. l Cooking times for different foods.
Important things to remember to get the BEST COOKING RESULTS:
. ALWAYS cook food for the minimum recommended cooking time. If necessary, add time in one or two minute periods, then check for doneness to avoid overcooking the food.
l Stir, turn or rearrange the food being cooked about halfway through the cooking time for most even doneness with all recipes.
. If a glass cover is not available, use waxpaper, paper towels or microwave approved plastic wrap. Turn back corner to vent steam during cooking.
l When using microwave recipes from cookbooks or sources other than “Microwave Cooking Recipes and Tables”, slightly longer cooking times will be needed. For example, add 1 to 2 minutes to a 5 minutes cooking time.
l Always cook food with Glass Tray in place.
