COOKING TECHNIQUES

To achieve the best results when cooking in this appliance, follow the
suggestions below.
STIRRING
Stir foods while cooking to distribute heat evenly. Food at the outside of
the dish absorbs more energy and will heat more quickly so stir from the
outside of the dish toward the center.
ARRANGEMENT
Arrange unevenly shaped foods thicker, meatier parts toward the outside
of the turntable so they receive more heat. To prevent overcooking, place
delicate items toward the center of the turntable.
SHIELDING
Delicate foods can be shielded with narrow strips of aluminum foil to
prevent overcooking. Use only small amounts of foil as this can cause
arcing and damage to the appliance.
TURNING
Turn food over midway through cooking to expose all parts to the
microwave energy. This is important with large items and meat.
STANDING
Foods cooked in a microwave build up internal heat and continue to
cook for a few minutes after heating stops. Let foods stand to complete
cooking, especially meats and liquids. All liquids should be allowed to
stand for a few minutes after cooking and should be shaken or stirred
before consuming.
ADDING MOISTURE
Microwave energy is attracted to water molecules. Food that is uneven in
moisture content should be covered and allowed to stand after cooking
to allow the heat to disperse evenly. Add a small amount of water to dry
food to help it cook.
