containers
and
covers
Appropriate containers and coverings help assure
good cooking results.
~Mways use microwave-safecontainers and cover
them with lids or vented plastic wrap. Wonder if
it's microwave-safe? Put it to the test described in
the Microwaving Tips section.
gNever use tight-sealing plastic covers—they can
prevent steam from escaping and cause food to
overcook.
~
Match the amount of food to the size of the
container.Fill containers at least half full for
best results.
oBe sure the outside of the cooking container and
the inside of the microwave oven are dry before
placing food in the oven. Beads of moisture turning
into steam can mislead the sensor.
e Stir or rotate some foods after a beeping signal, if
required. See Automatic Cooking Control Guide.
Use microwave-safe casseroles or
bowls for entrees and vegetables.
Cover with lids that fit. lf lids are
not available, use plastic wrap or
wax paper. Plastic wrap should be
\/ented over fOOdto allow for
escaping steam. Seal by pressing
plastic wrap f'irmlyaround edges.
For frozen foods in metal trays,
remove foil covering and baked
goods, reinsert tray into box and
close ends of box.
Slit plastic pouches 1 inch as
shown above. Break food up
thoroughly after oven signals.
