MICROWAVE COOKING TIPS Microwave Cooking Tips Microwave Cookware Guide Use Do Not Use OVENPROOF GLASS (treated for high intensity heat): utility dishes, loaf dishes, pie plates, cake plates, liquid measuring cups, casseroles and bowls without metallic trim. METAL CONTAINERS: Metal shields the food from microwave energy and produces uneven cooking. Also avoid metal skewers, thermometers, or foil trays. Metal containers can cause arcing, which can damage the microwave oven.
MICROWAVE COOKING TIPS 13 Never use metal or metal trimmed cookware when using microwave function Microwaves cannot penetrate metal. They will bounce off any metal object in the oven and cause arcing, an alarming phenomenon that resembles lightning. Most heat resistant non-metallic cookware is safe for use in your oven. However, some may contain materials that render it unsuitable as microwave cookware.
MICROWAVE COOKING TIPS Microwave Cooking Tips Keeping an Eye on Things Always watch your food while it cooks. The light inside the microwave oven turns on automatically when the oven is cooking so you can monitor the cooking process. Directions given in recipes to elevate, stir, and the like should be thought of as the minimum steps recommended. If the food seems to be cooking unevenly, simply make the necessary adjustments you think appropriate to correct the problem.
MICROWAVE COOKING TIPS 15 Strips of aluminium foil (which block microwaves) can be placed over the corners or edges of square and rectangular foods to prevent those portions from overcooking. Never use too much foil and make sure the foil is secured to the dish or it may cause arcing in the oven especially if the foil passes too closely to the walls of the oven during rotation. Elevating Thick or dense foods can be elevated so that microwaves can be absorbed by the underside and center of the foods.
OPERATION OPERATION Interrupting Cooking This section introduces you to the basics you need to know to operate the microwave oven. Please read this information before using the oven.
