MICROWAVING TIPS
—
● Make sure all cookware used in your microwave
● Paper towels, waxed paper and plastic wrap
oven is suikble for microwaving.
Most @ass
m be used to cover dishes in order to retain
tisseroles, cooking dishes, measuring cups, custard moisture and prevent spattering. Be sure to vent
cups, pottery or china dinnerware which does not plastic wrap so steam
u es=pe.
ha~e rnetdlic trim or glme with a metallic sheen can
be used. Some
mokware is labeled “suitable for
microwaving”.
● If you are not
sure if a dish is
microwave-safe,
use this test:
Place
in the oven both the
dish you are testing
and a
@ass measuring
cup filled with one
cup water—set the measuring cup either in or next
to the dish. Microwave 1 minute at high. If the dish
heats, it should not be used for microwaving.
H the
dish remains cool and
ody the water in the cup
heats, then the dish is microwave-safe.
● Some microwaved foods require stirring, rotating
or rearranging. Check the Cooking Guide.
● Steam builds up pressure in foods which are
tightly covered by a skin or membrane.
Pierce potatoes, egg yolks and chicken livers to
prevent bursting.
I
If you use a meat thermometer while cooking,
make sure it is safe for use in microwave ovens.
V~LE POWER LEVELS (1-10)
Variable power levels add flexibility to your
microwave rooking. The power levels on your
microwave oven can be compared to the
surfaw
units on a range. HIGH (Power bvel 10) or full
power is the fastest way to cook and gives you 100%
power. Each power level gives you microwave energy
a certain percent of the time. Power
Uvel 7 is
microwave energy 70% of the time. Power
bvel 3
is energy
3070 of the time.
A high setting (10)
wfll cook faster but may need
additional attention such as frequent stirring, rotating
or turning over. Most of your rooking will be done on
HIGH &ower hvel 10). A lower setting wfil cook
more evedy and with less attention given to stirring
or rotating the food. Some foods may have better
flavor, texture or appearance if one of the lower
settings is used. You may wish to use a lower power
level when cooking foods that have a tendency to boil
over, such as
s~oped potatoes.
Rest periods (when the microwave energy cycles o~
–
give time for the food to “equdtie” or transfer heat
to the inside of the food. An example of this is shown
with Power
~vel -the defrost cycle. H microwave
energy did not cycle off, the outside of the food would
cook before the inside was defrosted.
Here are some examples of uses for various
power levels:
POWR LEWL I BEST USES
High 10
Fish, bacon, vegetables,
boiling liquids.
Meal-High 7 Gentie cooking of meat and
potitry; baking casseroles
and reheating.
Medium 5
Slow cooking and tendetiing
such as stews and less tender
cuts of meat.
bw 2“ or 3 Defrosting without cooking;
simmering; delicate sauces.
warm 1 Keeping food warm without
overcooking; softening butter.
