Comments
Can be used if heat-resistant thermoplastic.
Some plastics may warp or discolor at high
temperatures. Do not use Melamine plastic.
Can be used to retain moisture. Avoid
wrapping the food too tightly. Take care
when removing the film as hot steam will
escape.
Only if boilable or oven-proof. Should not be
airtight. Pierce with a fork if necessary.
Can be used to retain moisture and prevent
spattering.
Use only those marked "Microwave-safe"
and follow the directions. Check the
temperature in several places. You can use
conventional thermometers once the food
has been removed from the oven.
Use only for short-term heating, as these
materials can be flammable.
Porcelain, pottery, glazed earthenware
and bone china are usually suitable, unless
decorated with a metal trim.

cooking guide

Microwave energy actually penetrates food and is attracted and absorbed by the water,
fat and sugar in the food. The microwaves cause the molecules in the food to move
rapidly. The rapid movement of these molecules creates friction and the resulting heat
cooks the food.
GENERAL MICROWAVE TIPS
Dense foods, such as potatoes, take longer to heat than lighter foods. Foods with a delicate
texture should be heated at a low power level to prevent them from becoming tough.
Foods with a non-porous skin such as potatoes or hot dogs, should be pierced to prevent
bursting.
Putting heating oil or fat in the microwave is not recommended. Fat and oil can suddenly boil
over and cause severe burns.
Some ingredients heat faster than others. For example, the jelly in a jelly doughnut will be
hotter than the dough. Keep this in mind to avoid burns.
The altitude and the type of cookware you are using can affect the cooking time. When
trying a new recipe, use the minimum cooking time and check the food occasionally to
prevent overcooking.
Home canning in the microwave oven is not recommended because not all harmful bacteria
may be destroyed by the microwave heating process.
Although microwaves do not heat the cookware, the heat from the food is often transferred
to the cookware. Always use pot holders when removing food from the microwave and
instruct children to do the same.
Making candy in the microwave is not recommended as candy can be heated to very high
temperatures. Keep this in mind to avoid injury.
COOKING TECHNIQUES
If the oven is set to cook for more than 20 minutes, it will automatically adjust to
70 percent power after 20 minutes to avoid overcooking.
Stirring
Open the microwave door and stir foods such as casseroles and vegetables occasionally
while cooking to distribute heat evenly. Food at the outside of the dish absorbs more
energy and heats more quickly, so stir from the outside towards the center. The oven will
turn off when you open the door to stir your food.
