GETTING THE BEST
COOKING RESULTS
To get the best results from your
microwave oven, read and follow the
guidelines below.
• Storage Temperature: Foods taken
from the freezer or refrigerator take
longer to cook than the same foods at
room temperature.
The time for recipes in this book is
based on the normal storage
temperature of the food.
• Size: Small pieces of food cook faster
than large ones, pieces similar in
size and shape cook more evenly. For
even cooking, reduce the power when
cooking large pieces of food.
• Natural Moisture: Very moist foods
cook more evenly because microwave
energy is attracted to water
molecules.
• Stir foods such as casseroles and
vegetables from the outside to the
center to distribute the heat evenly
and speed cooking. Constant stirring
is not necessary.

• Turn over foods like pork chops,
baking potatoes, roasts, or whole
cauliflower halfway through the
cooking time to expose all sides
equally to microwave energy.
• Place delicate areas of foods, such
as asparagus tips, toward the center
of the dish.
• Arrange unevenly shaped foods,
such as chicken pieces or salmon
steaks, with the thicker, meatier parts
toward the outside of the dish.
• Shield, with small pieces of
aluminum foil, parts of food that may
cook quickly, such as wing tips and
leg ends of poultry.
• Let It Stand: After you remove the
food from the microwave, cover food
with foil or casserole lid and let it
stand to finish cooking in the center
and avoid overcooking the outer
edges. The length of standing time
depends on the density and surface
area of the food.
• Wrapping in waxed paper or
paper towel: Sandwiches and many
other foods containing prebaked
bread should be wrapped prior to
microwaving to prevent drying out.
