COOKING TECHNIQUES

Your microwave makes cooking easier than conventional cooking,
provided you keep these considerations in mind:
STIRRING
Stir foods such as casseroles and vegetables 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 to the center.
The oven will turn off when you open the door to stir your food.
ARRANGEMENT
Arrange unevenly shaped foods, such as chicken pieces or chops, with
the thicker, meatier parts toward the outside of the turntable where
they receive more microwave energy. To prevent overcooking, place
delicate areas, such as asparagus tips, toward the center of the
turntable.
SHIELDING
Shield food with narrow strips of aluminum foil to prevent overcooking.
Areas that need shielding include poultry wing tips, the ends of poultry
legs, and corners of square baking dishes. Use only small amounts of
aluminum foil. Larger amounts can damage your oven.
TURNING
Turn foods over midway through cooking to expose all parts to
microwave energy. This is especially important with large foods such
as roasts.
STANDING
Foods cooked in the microwave build up internal heat and continue
to cook for a few minutes after heating stops. Let foods stand to
