Baby bottles and baby food jars should not be heated in the
oven.
•
Clothes, flowers, fruit, herbs, wood, gourds, paper, including
brown paper bags and newspaper should not be dried in the

Do not use the microwave oven for canning, sterilizing or
deep frying. The oven cannot maintain appropriate
temperatures.
Paraffin wax will not melt in the oven because it does not
absorb microwaves.
•
Use oven mitts or pot holders when removing containers from
oven.
Do not overcook potatoes. At the end of the recommended
cook time, potatoes should be slightly firm. Let potatoes
stand for five minutes. They will finish cooking while standing.
Do not cook or reheat eggs inside the shell. Steam buildup in
whole eggs may cause them to burst. Cover poached eggs
and allow a standing time.
When microwave cooking, the amount, size and shape, starting
temperature,
composition
and density of the food affect cooking
results.
Amount of Food
The more food heated at once the longer the cook time. Check
for doneness and add small increments of time if necessary.
Size and Shape
Smaller pieces of food will cook more quickly than larger pieces
and uniformly shaped foods cook more evenly than irregularly
shaped food.
Starting Temperature
Room temperature foods will heat faster than refrigerated foods
and refrigerated foods will heat faster than frozen foods.
Composition
and Density
Foods high in fat and sugar will reach a higher temperature
and
heat faster than other foods. Heavy, dense foods, such as meat
and potatoes, require a longer cook time than the same size of a
light, porous food, such as cake.
Covering
Covering food helps retain moisture, shorten cook time and
reduce spattering,
Use the lid supplied with cookware. If a lid is
not available, wax paper, paper towels or plastic wrap approved
for microwaves may be used. Plastic wrap should be turned back
at one corner to provide an opening to vent steam.
Stirring
and Turning
Stirring and turning redistributes
heat evenly to avoid
overcooking
the outer edges of food. Stir from outside to center.
If possible, turn food over from bottom to top.
Arranging
If heating irregularly shaped or different sized foods, the thinner
parts and smaller sizes should be arranged toward the center. If
cooking several items of the same size and shape, place them in
a ring pattern, leaving the center of the ring empty.
Piercing
Before heating, use a fork or small knife to pierce or prick foods
that have a skin or membrane, such as potatoes, egg yolks,
chicken livers, hot dogs, and sausage. Prick in several places to
allow steam to vent.
Shielding
Use small, flat pieces of aluminum foil to shield the thin pieces of
irregularly shaped foods, bones and foods such as chicken
wings, leg tips and fish tail. See "Aluminum Foil and Metal" first.
Standing
Time
Food will continue to cook by the natural conduction
of heat even
after the microwave cycle ends. The length of standing time
depends on the volume and density of the food.

Cookware and dinnerware must fit on the turntable. Always use
oven mitts or pot holders when handling because any dish may
become hot from heat transferred from the food. Do not use
