Suggestions for best results
To help you achieve the best possible results from
your appliance, read the following suggestions below:
Storage temperature
▯
Foods taken from the freezer or refrigerator take
longer to cook.
Size
▯
Small pieces of food cook faster than large ones.
Pieces similar in size and shape will cook more evenly
when cooked together. For more even results, reduce
the power levels when cooking large pieces of food.
Natural moisture
▯
Very moist foods cook more evenly because
microwave energy heats water molecules very
efficiently.
Stirring
▯
Stir foods such as casseroles and vegetables from the
outside to the center to distribute the heat more
evenly. This will allow the food to cook faster.
(Constant stirring is not necessary.)
Turning
▯
Turn over foods such as pork chops, roasts or whole
cauliflower halfway through the cook time. This will
help to expose all sides equally to microwave energy.
Placing food
▯
Place delicate areas of food items, such as asparagus
tips, toward the center of the turntable tray.
Arranging food
▯
Arrange unevenly shaped foods, such as chicken
pieces or salmon, with the thicker or meatier parts
toward the outside of the turntable tray.
Letting food stand
▯
After removing the food from the appliance, cover the
food with foil or a casserole lid and let it stand to finish
cooking. This will help the food finish cooking in the
center and avoids overcooking the outer edges. The
length of stand time depends on the density and
surface area of the food items.
16
Wrapping foods
▯
Sandwiches and many other food types containing
pre-baked bread should be wrapped in paper towels
or wax paper prior to placing in the appliance to help
prevent the food items from drying out while heating.
