cian,
The voltage used at the wall recepta-
cb must be the same as specified on
the oven name plate located inside
oven door, Use of a higher voltage is
dangerous and may result in a fire or
other type of accident causing oven
damage, Low voltage will cause slow
cooking,
in case

reinsert the plug,

GETTING THE BEST
RESULTS
FROM YOUR
MICROWAVE
OVEN
Keep
an
eye
on
things.
The
instructions
in this
book
have
been formulated
with great
care,
but your success in preparing
food
depends, of course, on how much
attention you pay to the food as it
cooks, Always watch your food while
it cooks, Your microwave
oven
is
equipped with a light that turns on
automatically
when
the oven is in
operation so that you can see inside
and check
the progress
of your
recipe, Directions given in recipes to
elevate, stir, and the like should be
thought
of as the minimum
steps
recommended,
if the food seems to
be cooking
unevenly, simply
make
the necessary adjustments you think
appropriate to correct the problem,
Factors
affecting
cooking
times.
Many factors affect cooking times,
The temperature of ingredients used
in a recipe makes a big difference in
cooking times, For example, a cake
made with ice-cold butter, milk, and
eggs will take considerably longer to
bake than one made with ingredients
that are at room temperature, All of
the recipes in this book give a range
of cooking times, in general, you wiii
find that the food remains
under-
cooked at the lower end of the time
range, and you may sometimes want
to cook your food beyond the maxi-
mum
time
given,
according
to
personal
preference, The governing
philosophy of this book is that it is
best for a recipe to be conservative in
giving cooking times, While under-
cooked food may always be cooked a
bit more, overcooked food is ruined
for good, Some recipes, particularly
those for bread, cakes, and custard,
recommend
that food be removed
from the oven when they are slightly
undercooked, This is not a mistake,
When
allowed
to
stand,
usually
covered, these foods will continue to
cook outside of the oven as the heat
trapped within the outer portions of
the foods gradually travels inward, if
the foods are left in the oven until
they are cooked all the way through,
the outer portions will become over-
cooked or even burned,
As you gain experience in using your
microwave
oven, you will become
increasingly skillful in estimating both
cooking and standing times for vari-
ous foods,
SPECIAL TECHNIQUES
JN MICROWAVE
COOKING
Browning:
Meats and poultry that
are cooked fifteen minutes or longer
will brown
lightly in their own fat,
Foods that are cooked for a shorter
period
of time
may
be
brushed
with a browning
sauce to achieve
an appetizing color, The most com-
monly
used
browning
sauces
are
Worcestershire
sauce,
soy sauce,
and barbecue sauce, Since relatively
small amounts of browning
sauces
are added to foods, the original flavor
of recipes is not altered,
Covering:
A cover traps heat and
steam and causes food to cook more
quickly, You may either use a lid or
microwave
cling-film
with a corner
folded back to prevent splitting,
