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.
