MICROWAVING TIPS
● Make sure all cookware used in your microwave ● Paper towels, waxed paper and plastic wrap
oven is suitable for microwaving. Most glass
@be used to cover dishes in order to retain
casseroles, cooking dishes, measuring cups,
astard
moisture and prevent spattering. Be sure to vent
cups,
pottev or china dinnerware which does not plastic wrap so steam can escape.
ha;e rnetdl~c trim or gl~e with a metallic sheen can
be used. Some
mobare 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 butids 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.
V~LE POWER LEVELS (1-10)
Variable power levels add flexibility to your
microwave cooking. The power levels on your
microwave oven can be compared to the surface
mits on a range. HIGH rower hvel 10) or fll
power is the fastest way to cook and gives you 100%
power.
fich power level gives you microwave energy

perwnt of the time. Power bvel 7 is
microwave energy
7090 of the time. Power hvel 3
is energy
3070 of the time.
A high setting (10) wdl cook faster but may need
additionrd attention such as frequent stfig, rotating
or turning over. Most of your rooking will be done on
HIGH
rower Uvel 10). A lower setting wfll cook
more
everdy 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
bofl

Rest periods (when the microwave energy cycles

GLOSSARY OF ~CROWAm mmS
When adapting recipes for the microwave, it is
best to start with a familiar recipe. hewing 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 in regular ovens.
● 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 regular oven cooking times by 1/2 to 1/3.
Check food after minimum time to avoid
over-cooking.
● Smrdl amounts of butter or od =n be used for
flavoring, but are not needed to prevent sticking.
● Seasonings may need to be reduced. Sdt meats and
vegetables after cooking.
Covering. In both regular baking and microwave
cooking, covers hold
in moisture, allow for more
even heating and reduce rooking time. In regular
ovens, partial covering allows excess steam to escape.
Venting plastic wrap or covering with wax paper
sewes the same purpose when microwaving.
Venting.
~er wvering a dish with plastic wrap,
you vent the plastic wrap by turning back 1 comer
so excess steam can escape.
knging Food in Oven. When baking in regular
ovens, you position foods, such as
de layers or
potatoes, so hot air can flow around them. When
microwaving, you arrange foods in a ring, so that
dl
sides are exposed to microwave energy.
Basic Mcrowave Guidehes
Density of Food. In both re@ar baking 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 1 inch from top, bottom and sides, round shapes
and rings cook more
evedy. Comers rewive more
energy and may overcook. This may
dso happen
when cooking in a regular oven.
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
everdy because microwave energy is
attracted to water
moledes. Food that is uneven in
moisture
shodd be covered or allowed to stand so it
heats everdy.
16
Stirring. In range-top cooking, you stir foods up from
the bottom to heat them
everdy. When microwaving,
you stir cooked portions from the outside to the
center. Foods that require constant stirring
wfll need
ody occasional stirring when microwaving.
~rning 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. When you cook
with regular ovens,
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 moling rack.
Shielding. In a regular oven, you shield chicken
breasts or baked foods to prevent over-browning.
When microwaving, you use
smrdl strips of foil to
shield thin parts, such as the tips of wings and legs
on poultry, which
wodd mok before larger parts.
king. Sparks caused by too much metal in the
microwave oven or
metrd touching the side of the
oven or foil that is not molded to food.
Prick Foods to Release hssure. Steam builds up
pressure in foods that are tightly covered by a skin or
membrane. Prick foods, such as potatoes (as you do
before
re@ar oven cooking), egg yolks and chicken
livers, to prevent bursting.
Rotating.
Occasionrdly, repositioning a dish in the oven
helps food cook more evedy. To rotate 1P ~ turn the
dish
unti the side that was to the back of the oven is to
the front. To rotate 1/4
~ turn the dish untti the side
that was to the back of the oven is to the side.
Mece She. SW piems cook faster than large ones.
Pieces that are similar in size and shape cook more
evedy. With large pieces of foo~ reduce the power
setting for even rooking.
Shape of Food. k both types of cooking, thin areas
ook faster than thick areas. This can be controlled in
microwaving by placing thick pieces near the outside
edge and thin pieces in the writer.
Starting Temperatum. 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
