ENGLISH

Your microwave can make cooking

quicker and easier than conventional

cooking. For best results, exercise the

following techniques:

STIRRING

Stir foods such as casseroles and

vegetables while cooking to distribute

heat evenly. Food at the outside of the

dish absorbs more energy and heats

more quickly, so stir from the outside

to the center. The oven will pause

automatically when you open the door

to stir your food.

ARRANGEMENT

Arrange unevenly shaped foods, such

as chicken pieces or chops, with the

thicker, meatier parts toward the

outside of the turntable where they

receive more microwave energy. To

prevent overcooking, place delicate

areas, such as asparagus tips, toward

the center of the turntable.

SHIELDING

You may shield food with narrow

strips of aluminum foil to prevent

overcooking. Areas that need shielding

include poultry wing-tips, the ends

of poultry legs, and corners of square

baking dishes. Use only small amounts

of aluminum foil. Larger amounts can

damage your oven. Apply foil strips

as smoothly as the food item allows,

avoiding creases wherever possible.

TURNING

Turn foods over midway through

cooking to expose all parts to

microwave energy. This is especially

important with large items such as

roasts.

STANDING

Foods cooked in the microwave build

up internal heat and continue to cook

for a few minutes after heating stops.

Let foods stand to complete cooking,

especially foods such as cakes and

whole vegetables. Roasts need this

time to complete cooking in the center

without overcooking the outer areas.

All liquids, such as soup or hot

chocolate, should be shaken or stirred

prior to cooking, midway through, and

when cooking is complete. Let liquids

stand a moment before serving. When

heating baby food, stir well at removal

and test the temperature before

serving.

ADDING MOISTURE

Microwave energy is attracted to water

molecules. Food that is uneven in

moisture content should be covered

or allowed to stand so that the heat

disperses evenly. Add a small amount

of water to dry food to help it cook.
