the microwave oven is on a different circuit, relocated the radio or TV as far away from the oven
as feasible or check position and signal of receiving antenna.
UTENSILS GUIDE
This section lists which utensils can be used in the microwave, which ones have limited use for
short periods, and which ones should not be used in the microwave.
Recommended
·Microwave browning dish — Use to brown the exterior of small items such as steaks,
chops, or pancakes. Follow the directions provided with your browning dish.
·Microwaveable plastic wrap — Use to retain steam. Leave a small opening for some steam
to escape and avoid placing it directly on the food.
·Paper towels and napkins — Use for short-term heating and covering; These absorb
4
excess moisture and prevent spattering. Do not use recycled paper towels, which may
contain metal and could ignite.
·Glass and glass-ceramic bowls and dishes — Use for heating or cooking.
·Paper plates and cups — Use for short-term heating at low temperatures. Do not use
recycled paper, which may contain metal and could ignite.
·Wax paper — Use as a cover to prevent spattering.
·Thermometers — Use only those labeled “Microwave Safe” and follow all directions. Check
the food in several places. Conventional thermometers may be used on
food once the food has been removed from the oven.
Limited Use
microwave
· Aluminum foil — Use narrow strips of foil to prevent overcooking of exposed areas.
Using too much foil can damage your oven, so be careful.
·Ceramic, porcelain, and stoneware — Use these if they are labeled “Microwave Safe”.
If they are not labeled, test them to make sure they can be used safely.
·Plastic — Use only if labeled “Microwave Safe”. Other plastics can melt.
·Straw, wicker, and wood — Use only for short-term heating, such as warming dinner rolls
for a few seconds. Baskets and bowls may be flammable.
Not Recommended
·Glass jars and bottles — Regular glass is too thin to be used in a microwave. It can shatter
and cause damage and injury.
·Paper bags — These are a fire hazard, except for popcorn bags that are designed for
microwave use.
·Styrofoam plates and cups — These can melt and leave an unhealthy residue on food.
·Plastic storage and food containers — Containers such as margarine tubs can melt in the
microwave.
·Metal utensils — These can damage your oven. Remove all metal before cooking.
Note: Should you wish to check if a dish is safe for microwaving, place the empty dish in the
oven and microwave on HIGH for 30 seconds. A dish which becomes very hot should not
be used.

COOKING TECHNIQUES
Your microwave makes cooking easier than conventional cooking, provided you keep these
considerations in mind:
Stirring
especially important with large foods such as
roasts.
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 turn
off when you open the door to stir your food.
Arrangement
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 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.
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
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.
Turning
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.
Turn foods over midway through cooking to
expose all parts to microwave energy. This is
