Microwaving Tips
● Make sure all cookware used in
your microwave oven is suitable
for microwaving. Most glass
casseroles, cooking dishes,
measuring cups, custard cups,
pottery or china dinnerware which
does not have metallic trim or
glaze with a metallic sheen can be
used. Some cookware 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 glass 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. If the
dish remains cool and only the
water in the cup heats, then the
dish is microwave-safe.
● Paper towels, waxed paper and
plas~ic wrap can be used {o cover
dishes in order to retain moisture
and prevent spattering. Be sure to
vent plastic wrap so steam can
escape.
● Some microwaved foods
require stirring, rotating or
rearranging. Check the cookbook
that comes with your oven.
● 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.
If you use a meat thermometer
while cooking, make sure it is
safe for use in microwave ovens.
IMPORTANT SAFETY
INSTRUCTIONS

3

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS (continued)
● To reduce the risk of fire in
the oven cavity:
—Do not overcook food.
Carefully attend appliance if
paper, plastic or other combustible
materials are placed inside the
oven to facilitate cooking.
—Remove wire twist-ties from
paper or plastic bags before
placing bags in oven.
—Do not use your microwave
oven to dry newspapers.
—Do not use recycled paper
products.
Recycled paper towels,
napkins and waxed paper can
contain metal flecks which may
cause arcing or ignite. Paper
products containing nylon or
nylon filaments should be
avoided, as they may also ignite.
—Do not pop popcorn in your
microwave oven
unless in a
special microwave popcorn
accessory or unless you use
popcorn labeled for use in
microwave ovens.
—Do not operate the oven
while empty to avoid damage to
the oven and the danger of fire.
If by accident the oven should
run empty a minute or two, no
harm is done. However, try to
avoid operating the oven empty
at all times—it saves energy and
prolongs the life of the oven.
—Do not overcook potatoes.
They could dehydrate and catch
fire, causing damage to your oven.
● Do not use the oven for storage
purposes. Do
not leave paper
products, cooking utensils or food
in the oven when not in use.
c If materials inside oven should
ignite,
keep oven door closed,
turn oven off, and disconnect
power cord, or shut off power at
the fuse or circuit breaker panel.
● Some products such as whole
eggs and sealed containers—for
example,
closed jars—will
explode and should not be heated
in this microwave oven. Such use
of the microwave oven could
result in injury.
● Avoid heating baby food in
glass jars, even without their lids;
especially meat and egg mixtures.
● Don’t defrost frozen
beverages in narrow necked
bottles(especiallycarbonated
beverages), Even if the container
is opened, pressure can build up.
This can cause the container to
burst, possibly resulting in injury.
● Use metal only as directed in
this book. TV dinners maybe
microwaved in foil trays less than
3/4” high; remove top foil cover
and return tray to box. When
using metal in the microwave
oven,
keep metal at least 1 inch
away from sides of oven.
● Cookware may become hot
because of heat transferred from
the heated food. Pot holders may
be needed to handle the cookware.
● Sometimes, the turntable can
become too hot to touch.
Be
careful touching the turntable
during and after cooking.
● Foods cooked in liquids
(such as pasta) may tend to boil
over more rapidly than foods
containing less moisture. Should
this occur, refer to the Care
and Cleaning section(s) for
instructions on how to clean the
inside of the oven.
● Thermometer—Do not use a
thermometer in food you are
microwaving unless the
thermometer is designed or
recommended for use in the
microwave oven.
● Plastic cookware—Plastic
cookware designed for
microwave cooking is very
useful, but should be used
carefully. Evenmicrowave-safe
plastic may not be as tolerant of
overcooking conditions as are
glass or ceramic materials and
may soften or char if subjected to
short periods of overcooking. In
longer exposures to overcooking,
the food and cookware could
ignite. For these reasons: 1) Use
microwave-safe plastics only and
use them in strict compliance
with the cookware manufacturer’s
recommendations. 2) Do not
subject empty cookware to
microwaving. 3) Do not permit
children to use plastic cookware
without complete supervision.
● When cooking pork, follow
the directions exactly and always
cook the meat to an internal
temperature of at least 170°F,
This assures that, in the remote
possibility that trichina may be
present in the meat, it will be
killed and meat will be safe to eat.
● Do not boil eggs in a
microwave oven.
Pressure will
build up inside egg yolk and will
cause it to burst, possibly
resulting in injury.
● Foods with unbroken outer
“skin” such as potatoes, sausages,
tomatoes, apples, chicken livers
and other giblets, and egg yolks
(see previous caution) should be
pierced to allow steam to escape
during cooking.
● Not all plastic wrap is suitable
for use in microwave ovens.
Check the package for proper use.
4

. Spontaneous boiling—Under
certain special circumstances,
liquids may start to boil during or
shortly after removal from the
microwave oven. To prevent
burns from splashing liquid, stir
the liquid briefly before
removing the container from the
microwave oven.
● ~~Boilable” cooking pouches
and tightly closed plastic bags
should be slit, pierced or vented as
directed by package. [f they are
not, plastic could burst during or
immediately after cooking,
possibly resulting in injury. Also,
plastic storage containers should
beat least partially uncovered
because they form a tight seal.
When cooking with containers
tightly covered with plastic wrap,
remove covering carefully and
direct steam away from hands
and face.
‘ Hot foods and steam can
cause burns. Be careful when
opening any containers of hot
food, including popcorn bags,
cooking pouches and boxes. To
prevent possible injury, direct
steam away from hands and face.

foods you want to steam or retain
moisture.
Foods Recommended
A wide variety of previously
prepared foods including leftovers
Foods Not Recommended
Bread products, foods that must be

Auto Reheat (continued)
Containers and Covers
Appropriate containers and
coverings help assure good
reheating results.
● Always use microwave-safe
containers and cover them with
lids, wax paper or plastic wrap.
Wonder if it’s microwave safe? Put
it to the test described in the
Microwaving Tips section.
c Never use tight-sealing plastic
lids—they can prevent steam from
escaping and cause poor reheating
results.
Q Match the amount of food to
the size of the container. Fill
containers at least half
full for best
results.
● Be sure the outside of the
cooking container and the inside
of the microwave oven are dry
before placing food in the oven.
Beads of moisture turning into
steam can mislead the sensor.
Use microwave-safe casseroles or
bowls. Cover with lids that fit. If
lids are not available, use plastic
wrap or wax paper. Plastic wrap
should be 100-se-over food to allow
for escaping steam. Seal by
pressing plastic wrap firmly
around edges.
Questions & Answers
Q. If my food is not completely
reheated after using Auto
Reheat, what should I do?
A. Touch MORE/LESS pad once
for additional cooking time.
Q. What if I don’t fully cover the
dish in Auto Reheat?
A. Oven senses steam too quickly,
which shortens the reheating time
and leaves food too cool. Cover
tightly and reset Auto Reheat.
Q. Do the shapes and sizes of
food make a difference when
using Auto Reheat?
A. Yes, in some cases, larger
pieces will require additional
Time Cooking. Be sure to check
suggested arrangement of pieces in
the dish, since proper arrangement
is often a successful tip in regular
microwaving.
Q. Are there any other foods
which are reheated best using
Time Cook, rather than Auto
Reheat?
A. Bakery foods, candies, melted
chocolate or foods when a dry or
crisp surface is desirable, are
reheated best by Time Cook.
Q. Would my plastic containers
with very tight fitting lids be
appropriate for Auto Reheat?
A. No, most types of plastic
storage dishes, butter tubs, etc.
with tight fitting lids are not
recommended for microwaving.
Also tight fitting plastic lids may
prevent adequate steam from
escaping and food may not heat
properly during Auto Reheat.
Q. I tried to warm some chow
mein noodles using Auto Reheat.
Why didn’t this work?
A. Food must have some moisture
in order to create steam which
helps the auto sensor function.
Extremely dry foods such as chow
mein noodles, potato chips and
other such foods do not have
enough moisture.
Q. May I use Auto Reheat when
I am reheating many foods in
more than one dish or casserole?
A. No. Because of different food
densities, attention needed during
reheating, and food amounts, it is
best to use Time Cook when
reheating many foods.

Glossary of Microwave Terms
When adapting recipes for the microwave, it is best
to start with a familiar recipe. Knowing how the
food should look and taste will help when adapting
recipes for microwaving. Foods that require
browning or crisp, dry surfaces will cook better
conventionally.
● Moist foods, such as vegetables, fruits, poultry and
seafood, microwave well.
● Rich foods, such as bar cookies, moist cakes and
candies, are suitable for microwaving because of their
high fat and sugar content.
● Reduce conventional cooking time by one-half to one-
third. Check food after minimum time to avoid
overcooking.
● Small amounts of butter or oil can be used for
flavoring, but are not needed to prevent sticking.
● Seasonings may need to be reduced. Salt meats and
vegetables after cooking.
Covering. In both conventional and microwave
cooking, covers hold in moisture, allow for more even
heating and reduce cooking time. Conventionally,
partial covering allows excess steam to escape. Venting
plastic wrap or covering with wax paper serves the
same purpose when microwaving.
Venting. After covering a dish with plastic wrap, you
vent the plastic wrap by turning back one corner so
excess steam can escape.
Arranging Food in Oven. In conventional baking, you
position foods, such as cake layers or potatoes, so hot
air can flow around them. When microwaving, you
arrange foods in a ring, so that all sides are exposed to
microwave energy.
Stirring. In range-top cooking, you stir foods up from
the bottom to heat them evenly. When microwaving,
you stir cooked portions from the outside to the center.
Foods that require constant stirring conventionally will
need only occasional stirring when microwaving.
Turning Over. In range-top cooking, you turn over
foods, such as hamburgers, so both sides can directly
contact the hot pan. When microwaving, turning is
often needed during defrosting or when cooking certain
foods, such as frozen hamburgers.
Standing Time. In conventional cooking, foods such as
roasts or cakes are allowed to stand to finish cooking or
to set. Standing time is especially important in
microwave cooking. Note that a microwaved cake is
not placed on a cooling rack.
Shielding. In a conventional oven, you shield chicken
breasts or baked foods to prevent over-browning. When
microwaving, you use
small strips of foil to shield thin
parts, such as the tips of wings and legs on poultry,
which would cook before larger parts.
Arcing. Sparks caused by too much metal in the
microwave oven or metal touching the side of the oven
or foil that is not molded to food.
Prick Foods to Release Pressure. Steam builds up
pressure in foods that are tightly covered by a skin or
membrane. Prick foods, such as potatoes (as you do
conventionally), egg yolks and chicken livers, to
prevent bursting.
Rotating. Occasionally, repositioning a dish in the oven
helps food cook more evenly. To rotate 1/2 turn, turn
the dish until the side that was to the back of the oven is
to the front. To rotate 1/4 turn, turn the dish until the
side that was to the back of the oven is to the side.
Basic Microwave Guidelines
Density of Food. In both conventional and microwave
cooking, dense foods, such as potatoes, take longer to
cook than light, porous foods, such as
rolls, bread or
pieces of cake.
Round Shapes. Since microwaves penetrate foods to
about one inch from top, bottom and sides, round
shapes and rings cook more evenly. Corners receive
more energy and may overcook. This may also happen
when cooking conventionally.
Delicacy. Foods with a delicate texture, such as
custards, are best cooked at lower power settings to
avoid toughening.
Natural Moisture of food affects how it cooks. Very
moist foods cook evenly because microwave energy is
attracted to water molecules. Food that is uneven in
moisture should be covered or allowed to stand so heat
can disperse evenly.
Piece Size. Small pieces cook faster than large ones.
Pieces that are similar in size and shape cook more
evenly. With
large pieces of food, reduce the power
setting for even cooking.
Shape of Food. In both types of cooking, thin areas
cook faster than thick areas. This can be controlled in
microwaving by placing thick pieces near the outside
edge and thin pieces in the center.
Starting Temperature. Foods taken from the freezer or
refrigerator take longer to cook than foods at room
temperature. Timings in our recipes are based on the
temperatures at which you normally store the foods.
Quantity of Food. In both types of cooking, small
amounts usually take less time than large amounts. This
is most apparent in microwave cooking, where time is
directly related to the number of servings.
Shelf (on models so equipped). Use the shelf to heat
more than one dish at one time. Take the shelf out when
you are not using it.
