3 Operation
• Size
Small pieces of food cook faster than large ones.
Pieces similar in size and shape will cook more
evenly when cooked together. For more even re-
sults, reduce the power levels when cooking large
pieces of food.
• Natural moisture
Very moist foods cook more evenly because mi-
crowave energy heats water molecules very effi-
ciently.
• Stirring
Stir foods such as casseroles and vegetable from
the outside to the center to distribute the heat
more evenly. This will allow the food to cook faster.
Constant stirring is not necessary.
• Turn over items
Turn over foods such as pork chops, roasts or
whole cauliflower halfway through the cook time.
This will help to expose all sides equally to micro-
wave energy.
• Food placement
Place delicate areas of food items, such as aspar-
agus tips, toward the center of the turntable tray.
• Food arrangement
Arrange unevenly shaped foods, such as chicken
pieces or salmon, with the thicker or meatier parts
toward the outside of the turntable tray.
• Let the food stand
After removing the food from the microwave, cover
the food with foil or a casserole lid and let it stand
to finish cooking. This will help the food finish in
the center and avoids overcooking the out edges,
The length of stand time depends on the density
and surface area of the food items.
• Wrapping in paper towels or waxed paper
Sandwiches and many other food types contain-
ing prebaked bread should be wrapped prior to
placing in the microwave to help prevent the food
items fro drying out while heating.
