MICROWAVE COOKING TIPS (CONT.)
Using aluminum foil (cont.)
• Place
the container in a glass bowl and add some water so that it covers the bottom of the container, not
more than V4 in. (.64 cm) 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 34 in. (1.9 cm).
• Container must be
at least half filled.
• To avoid arcing,
there must be a minimum 1/4 in. (.64 cm) between the aluminum container and the walls of
the oven and also between two aluminum containers.
•
Always place
the container on the turntable.
•
Shield
with small pieces of aluminum foil, parts of food that may cook quickly, such as wing tips and leg
ends of poulfry.
•
Heating food
in aluminum foil confainers 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.
•
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 sterilization.
