About Microwave Cooking
●
Arrange food carefully. Place thickest areas towards
outside of dish.
●
Watch cooking time. Cook for the shortest amount of
time indicated and add more as needed. Food severely
overcooked can smoke or ignite.
●
Cover foods while cooking. Check recipe or cookbook for
suggestions: paper towels, wax paper, microwave plastic
wrap or a lid. Covers prevent spattering and help foods to
cook evenly.
●
Shield with small flat pieces of aluminum foil any thin areas
of meat or poultry to prevent overcooking before dense,
thick areas are cooked thoroughly.
●
Stir foods from outside to center of dish once or twice
during cooking, if possible.
●
Turn foods over once during microwaving to speed
cooking of such foods as chicken and hamburgers. Large
items like roasts must be turned over at least once.
●
Rearrange foods such as meatballs halfway through
cooking both from top to bottom and from the center of the
dish to the outside.
●
Add standing time. Remove food from oven and stir, if
possible. Cover for standing time that allows the food to
finish cooking without overcooking.
●
Check for doneness. Look for signs indicating that cooking
temperatures have been reached.
●
Doneness signs include:
–
Food steams throughout, not just at edge.
–
Center bottom of dish is very hot to the touch.
–
Poultry thigh joints move easily.
DON'T
● Cook egg in shells.
● Reheat whole eggs.
● Pop popcorn in regular
brown bags or glass
bowls.
● Exceed maximum time
on popcorn package.
● Heat disposable bottles.
● Heat bottles with nipples
on.
● Heat baby food in
original jars.
● Heat or cook in closed
glass jars or airtight
containers.
● Can in the microwave as

be destroyed.

About Safety
Check foods to see that they are cooked to the following
recommended temperatures.
TEMP
FOOD
...For fresh pork, ground meat, boneless white poultry, fish,
160°F
seafood, egg dishes and frozen prepared food.
...For leftover, ready-to-reheat refrigerated, and deli and carry-out
165°F
"fresh" food.
170°F
...White meat of poultry.
180°F
...Dark meat of poultry.
●
To test for doneness, insert a meat thermometer in a
thick or dense area away from fat or bone. NEVER leave
the thermometer in the food during cooking, unless it is
approved for microwave oven use.
●
ALWAYS use potholders to prevent burns when handling
utensils that are in contact with hot food. Enough heat from
the food can transfer through utensils to cause skin burns.
●
Avoid steam burns by directing steam away from the face
and hands. Slowly lift the farthest edge of a dish's covering
and carefully open popcorn and oven cooking bags away
from the face.
●
Stay near the oven while it's in use and check cooking
progress frequently so that there is no chance of
overcooking food.
●
NEVER use the cavity for storing cookbooks or other
items.
●
Select store and handle food carefully to preserve its high
quality and minimize the spread of food borne bacteria.
●
Keep waveguide cover clean. Food residue can cause
arcing and/or fires.
●
Use care when removing items from the oven so that
utensil, your clothes or accessories do not touch the safety
door latches.
About Utensils and Coverings
It is not necessary to buy all new cookware. Many pieces
already in your kitchen can be used successfully in your new
microwave oven. Make sure the utensil does not touch the
interior walls during cooking.
Should you wish to check if an utensil is safe for
microwaving:
1.
Fill a microwave-safe container with 1 cup of cold water
(250ml) along with the utensil in question.
2. Cook on maximum power for 1 minute.
3. Carefully feel the utensil. If the empty utensil is warm, do
not use it for microwave cooking.
4. Do not exceed 1 minute cooking time.
Materials to be avoided in microwave oven
