Natural
Very moist foods cook more evenly
moisture
because microwave energy heats
water molecules very efficiently.
Stir foods
Stir foods, such as casseroles and
during cooking
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.
Turn food over
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.
Where to place
Place delicate areas of food items,
food on the
such as asparagus tips, toward the
turntable
center of the turntable tray.
Arrange
Arrange unevenly shaped foods, such
unevenly
as chicken pieces or salmon, with the
shapes foods
thicker or meatier parts toward the
outside of the turntable tray.
Let food stand
After removing the food from the
microwave:
¡ 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.
Wrap foods
Wrap sandwiches and other food types
containing pre-baked bread in paper
towels or wax paper before you place
them in the appliance. This helps to
prevent the food items from drying out
while heating.
