COOKING TECHNIQUES

To achieve the best results when cooking in this microwave, 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 microwave.
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.
