COOKING 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 turn off
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
Shield food with narrow strips of aluminium
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 aluminium
foil. Larger amounts can damage your oven.

BEVERAGE
For cups (5 - 7 oz. per share):
1. Touch BEVERAGE once.

For larger coffee mugs (9-11 oz. per
share):

2. Enter number of mugs by touching
number pads from 1 to 4.
3. Touch START/STOP.
REHEAT
1. Touch REHEAT pad.
2. Touch START/STOP.
NOTE: This setting lets you reheat a dinner
plate of chilled leftovers with good results.
TURNING
Turn foods over midway through cooking to
expose all parts to microwave energy. This is
especially important with large foods 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 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.
