COOKING UTENSILS GUIDE
RECOMMENDED
Microwave Browning Dish: Used to brown the
exterior of small food items. Follow the directions
provided with the browning dish.
Microwavable Plastic Wrap: Used to retain steam.
Leave a small opening to avoid a build up of steam.
Do not place directly on food.
Glass and Ceramic Bowls and Dishes: Use for
heating or cooking.
Paper Plates and Cups: Use for short term heating
at low temperatures. Do not use recycled paper as
they can contain metal and could ignite.
Paper Towels and Napkins: Use for short term
heating and covering. Do not use recycled paper
towels as they can contain metal and could ignite.
Wax Paper: Use as a cover to prevent splattering.
Thermometers: Only use those that are labeled
"microwave safe" and follow all directions.
LIMITED USE
Ceramic, Porcelain, Plastic and Stoneware: Only
use if they are labeled "microwave safe".
Note: To check if a dish is safe for use in the
microwave, place the empty dish in the appliance
and microwave on high for 30 seconds. If the dish
becomes very hot, it should not be used.
NOT RECOMMENDED
Glass Jars and Bottles: Regular glass is too thin to
be used in a microwave. It can shatter and cause
damage or injury.
Paper Bags: These are a fi re hazard and could
ignite. The only exception is popcorn bags, which
are designed for microwave use.
Styrofoam Plates and Cups: These can melt and
leave an unhealthy residue on food.
Plastic Storage and Food Containers: These can
melt and ignite.
Metal Utensils: These can cause arcing and
damage to the appliance. Remove all metal before
operation.
COOKING TECHNIQUES
To achieve the best results when cooking in this
appliance, follow the suggestions below.
STIRRING
Stir foods while cooking to distribute heat evenly.
Food at the outside of the dish absorbs more energy
and will heat more quickly so stir from the outside of
the dish toward the center.
ARRANGEMENT
Arrange unevenly shaped foods thicker, meatier
parts toward the outside of the turntable so they
receive more heat. To prevent overcooking, place
delicate items toward the center of the turntable.
SHIELDING
Delicate foods can be shielded with narrow strips
of aluminum foil to prevent overcooking. Use only
small amounts of foil as this can cause arcing and
damage to the appliance.
TURNING
Turn food over midway through cooking to expose
all parts to the microwave energy. This is important
with large items and meat.
STANDING
Foods cooked in a microwave build up internal
heat and continue to cook for a few minutes after
heating stops. Let foods stand to complete cooking,
especially meats and liquids. All liquids should be
allowed to stand for a few minutes after cooking
and should be shaken or stirred before consuming.
ADDING MOISTURE
Microwave energy is attracted to water molecules.
Food that is uneven in moisture content should be
covered and allowed to stand after cooking to allow
the heat to disperse evenly. Add a small amount of
water to dry food to help it cook.
