Place thickest areas toward outside of dish.
Cook for the shortest amount of time indicated and add more time
as needed.
Food severely over-cooked can smoke or ignite.
Check recipe for suggestions: paper towels, microwave plastic
wrap or a lid. See Table on page E-10.
Covers prevent spattering and help foods to cook evenly.
(Helps keep oven clean)
Use small pieces of aluminum foil to cover thin areas of meats or
poultry in order to avoid overcooking.
Stir foods from outside to center of dish once or twice during
cooking, if possible.
Foods such as chicken, hamburgers or steaks should be turned
over once during cooking.
Rearrange foods like meatballs halfway through cooking both
from top to bottom and from the center of the dish to the outside.
After cooking ensure adequate standing time.
Remove food from oven and stir if possible.
Cover for standing time which allows the food to finish cooking
without overcooking.
Look for signs indicating that cooking temperatures have been
reached.
Doneness signs include
– Food steams throughout, not just at edge.
– Poultry thigh joints move easily.
– Pork and poultry show no pinkness.
– Fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
Condensation is a normal part of microwave cooking. The humid-
ity and moisture in food will influence the amount of moisture in
the oven. Generally, covered foods will not cause as much conden-
sation as uncovered foods. Ensure that the ventilation openings
are not blocked.
For cooking food with high fat content, do not bring the wrap in
contact with the food as it may melt.
Some microwave safe plastic cookware are not suitable for cook-
ing foods with high fat and sugar content.
