Cooking in your microwave oven
Be sure to read the MICRO MENUS@ Cookbook packed with the microwave oven. It contains information about:
l What microwave energy is.
l How food is cooked by microwave energy.
l What affects cooking speed and cooking evenness. l Safety Rps.
l Utensils to use when cooking in a microwave oven. l Cooklng times for different foods.
Important things to remember to get the best cooklng results.
l 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.
l If a glass cover is not available, use waxpaper, paper towels or a microwave approved plastic wrap. Turn back corner to vent steam during cooking.
l When using microwave recipes from cookbooks or sources other than the MICRO MENUS@ Cookbook, slightly longer cooking times will be needed. For example, add 1to 2 minutes to a 5 minute cooking time.
