TROUBLESHOOTING
(continued)
A hard, dry, brown spot indicates overcooking. Shorten the cooking or
reheating time.
When baking, frying, or poaching eggs, the yolk may pop due to steam
buildup inside the yolk membrane. To prevent this, simply pierce the yolk
with a wooden toothpick before cooking.
CAUTION: Never microwave eggs in the shell.
Eggs will dry out when they are overcooked, even if the same recipe is used
each time. The cooking time may need to be varied for one of these reasons:
temperature another time.
The peel has not been removed from the top half of each apple to
allow for expansion of the interior of the apple during cooking. As in
conventional cooking methods, the interior of the apple expands during
the cooking process.
If the cooking time is too long, fire could result. At the end of the
recommended cooking time, potatoes should be slightly firm.
CAUTION: Do not overcook.
Standing time allows foods to continue cooking evenly for a few minutes after
the actual microwave oven cooking cycle ends. The amount of standing time
depends upon the density of the foods.
As in conventional cooking, the initial temperature of food affects total cooking
time. You need more time to cook food taken out of a refrigerator than for
food at room temperature.
You may need to adjust the cooking time and temperature.
The pizza pan is used to retain heat and help brown the food.
No. The oven is to be used for baking select food items and pizzas only.
No. The pan must be used for any baking done in the oven.
