Arranging
food
For best results, place food evenly on the plate.
You can do this in several ways:
+, If you are cooking several items of the same
food, such as baked potatoes, place them in a
ring pattern for uniform cooking.
+,When cooking
foods of uneven shapes or
thickness,
such as chicken
breasts, place the
smaller or thinner area of the food towards the
center of the dish where it will be heated last.
_ Layer thin slices of meat on top of each other.
", When you cook or reheat whole fish, score
the skin - this prevents cracking.
*, Do not let food or a container touch the top
or sides of the oven. This will prevent possible
arcing.
Using aluminum
foil
Metal containers should not be used in a
microwave oven. There are, however, some
exceptions.
If you have purchased food which is
prepackaged
in an aluminum foil container, refer
to the instructions on the package. When using
aluminum foil containers, cooking times may be
longer because microwaves will only penetrate the
top of the food.
If you use aluminum containers without package
instructions,
follow these guidelines:
",,Place the container in a glass bowl and add some
water so that it covers the bottom of the container,
not more than 1/4 inch (6 ram) high. This ensures
even heating of the container bottom.
,,,Always remove the lid to avoid damage to
the oven.
_ Use only undamaged containers.
_ Do not use containers taller than 3/4 inch (19 mm).
_ Container
must be at least half filled.
_ To avoid arcing, there must be a minimum
1/4 inch (6 mm) between the aluminum container
and the walls of the oven and also between two
aluminum containers.
+,Always place the container on the turntable.
_ Reheating food in aluminum foil containers usually
takes up to double the time compared to reheating
in plastic, glass, china, or paper containers. The
time when food is ready will vary depending upon
the type of container you use.
_ Let food stand for 2 to 3 minutes after heating so
that heat is spread evenly throughout
container.
Cooking
you should not do in your
microwave
oven
_ Do not do canning of foods in the oven. Closed
glass jars may explode, resulting in damage to
the oven or possible personal injury.
_ Do not use the microwave oven to sterilize objects
(baby bottles, etc.). It is difficult to keep the oven at
the high temperature
needed for safe sterilization.
