If you use a smaller portion than recommended and cook at the time for the recommended portion, fire can result. 1) HOME CANNING / DRYING FOODS / SMALL QUANTITIES OF FOODS » Do not use your oven for home canning, your oven cannot maintain the food at the proper canning temperature. Improperly canned food may spoil and be dangerous to consume. « Do not dry meats, herbs, fruits or vegetables in your oven. Small quantities of food or foods with low moisture content can dry out, scorch or catch on fire if overheated. 2) POPCORN Popcom may be popped in a microwave oven com popper. Microwave popcom which pops in its own package is also available. Follow popcom manufacturers’ directions and use a brand suitable for the wattage of your microwave oven. CAUTION: When using pre-packaged microwave popcorn, follow recommended package instructions. Check package weight before using the Popcorn pad (see Popcorn Pad section). Set the oven for the weight of the popcorn package. N these instructions are not followed, the popcorn may not pop adequately or may ignite and cause a fire. Never leave oven unattended when popping popcorn. Allow the popcorn bag to cool before opening, always open the bag away from your face and body to prevent steam. 3) DEEP FAT FRYING « Do not attempt to deep fat fry in your microwave oven. Cooking oils may burst into flames and may cause damage to the oven and perhaps result in burns. Microwave utensils may not be able to withstand the temperature of the hot oil, and could shatter or melt. 4) FOODS WITH NONPOROUS SKINS » Potatoes, apples, eqqg yolks, whole eggs, whole squash and sausages are examples of foods with nonporous skins. These types of foods must be pierced before microwave cooking to prevent their bursting. « Use fresh potatoes for baking and cook until just done. mmen weights for programmed cooking. Overcooking causes dehydration and may result in a fire. 5) LIQUIDS » Liquids can become "superheated" in a microwave, and when the container is moved in any way, the superheated liquids can “explode” out of the container. "Superheated” water is hotter than boiling water, EVEN THOUGH IT DOES NOT APPEAR TO BUBBLE. To reduce the possibility of this occurrence: 4 Always make sure that liquids are stirred vigorously before heating to assure that the liquid is mixed with air. NEVER HEAT LIQUIDS FOR AN EXCESSIVE LENGTH OF TIME. 6) GLASS TRAY / COOKING UTENSILS / FOIL + Cooking utensils get hot during microwaving. Heat is transferred from the HOT food to the container and the Glass Tray. Use potholders when removing utensils from the oven or when removing lids or plastic wrap covers from cooking utensils to avoid burns. « The Glass Tray will get hot during cooking. It should be allowed to cool before handling or before paper products, such as paper plates or microwave popcorn bags, are placed in the oven for microwave cooking. » When using foil, skewers, warming rack or utensils made of metal in the oven, allow at least 1- inch (2.5 cm) of space between metal material and interior oven walls. If arcing occurs (spark- ing), remove metal material (skewers etc.) and/or transfer to a non-metallic container. » Dishes with metallic trim should not be used, as arcing may occur. « If an entree is heated in a foil tray, maintain at least 1-inch {2.5 cm) spacing from the oven walls. 7) PAPER TOWELS / CLOTHS « DO NOT use paper towels or cloths which contain a synthetic fiber woven into them. The synthetic fiber may cause the towel to ignite. Use paper toweling under supervision. 8) BROWNING DISHES / OVEN COOKING BAGS « Browning dishes or grills are designed for microwave cooking only. Always follow instructions provided by the manufacturer. DO NOT preheat browning dish more than 6 minutes. « If an oven cooking bag is used for microwave cooking, prepare according to package directions. DO NOT use a wire twist-tie to close bag, instead use plastic ties, cotton string or a strip cut from the open end of the bag. 9) THERMOMETERS « DO NOT use a conventional meat thermometer in your oven, Arcing may occur. Microwave-safe thermometers are available for both meat and candy. 10) BABY FORMULA / FOOD * DO NOT heat baby formula or food in the microwave oven. The glass jar or surface of the food may appear warm while the interior can be so hot as to burn the infant's mouth and esopha- us. я ) REHEATING PASTRY PRODUCTS » When reheating pastry products, check tempera- tures of any fillings before eating. Some toods have fillings which heat faster and can be extremely hot, while the surface remains warm to the touch (ex. Jelly Donuts). 12) GENERAL OVEN USAGE GUIDELINES - DO NOT use the oven for any reason other than the preparation of food. « DO NOT leave oven unattended while in use. | Cookware and Utensil Guide ITEM MICROWAVE COMMENTS Yes for Small strips of foil can be molded around thin parts of Aluminum Foil Shielding meat or poultry to prevent overcooking.

Place wax paper between layers. 2. Package in heavy-duty plastic wraps, bags (labeled “For Freezer”) or freezer paper. 3. Remove as much air as possible, i.e. create a vacuum, 4, Seal securely, date and label. To Defrost: 1. Remove wrapper. This helps moisture to evaporate. Juices from food can get hot and cook the food. 2. Set food on microwave safe roasting rack in an appropriately sized dish. 3. Place roasts fat-side down. Place whole poultry breast-side down. 4. Drain liquids during defrosting. 5. Turn over (invert) items during defrosting. 6. Shield edges and ends if needed. (See Cooking Techniques). 7. Select power and minimum time so that items will be under-defrosted. After Defrosting: 1. Large items may be icy in the center. Defrosting will complete during STANDING TIME, 2. Let stand, covered with plastic wrap, in the refrigerator for time shown in the chart below. 3. See chart below for standing time and rinsing directions. 4. ltems which have been layered should be rinsed separately or have a longer stand time.

Bones may cause irregular cooking. Meat next to the tips of bones may overcook while meat positioned under a large bone, such as a ham bone, may be undercooked. Large amounts of fat absorb microwave energy and the meat next to these areas may overcook. Density Porous, airy foods such as breads, cakes or rolls take less time to cook than heavy, dense foods such as potatoes and roasts. When reheating donuts or other foods with different centers be very careful. Certain foods have centers made with sugar, water or fat and these centers attract microwaves {For ex., jelly donuts). When a jelly donut is heated, the jelly can become extremely hot while the exterior remains warm to the touch. This could result in a burn if the food is not allowed to cool properly in the center. Quantity Two potatoes take longer to cook than one pota- to. As the quantity of the food increases so does the cooking time. When cooking small amounts of food such as one or two potatoes, do not leave oven unattended. The moisture content in the food may decrease and a fire could result. Shape Uniform sizes heat more evenly. The thin end of a drumstick will cook more quickly than the meaty end. To compensate for irregular shapes, place thin parts toward the center of the dish and thick pieces toward the edge. Size Thin pieces cook more quickly than thick pieces. Starting Temperature Foods that are room temperature take less time to cook than if they are chilled or refrigerated or frozen. 16 Cooking Techniques Piercing Foods with skins or membranes must be pierced scored or have a strip of skin peeled before cooking to allow steam to escape. Pierce whole egg yolks and whites, clams, oysters, chicken livers, whole potatoes and whole vegetables. Whole apples or new potatoes should have a 1-inch strip of skin peeled before cooking. Score sausages and frankfurters. Browning Foods will not have the same brown appearance as conventionally cooked foods or those foods which are cooked utilizing a browning feature. Meats and poultry may be coated with browning sauce, Worcestershire sauce, barbecue sauce or shake-on browning sauce. To use, combine browning sauce with melted butter or margarine; brush on before cooking. For quick breads or muffins, brown sugar can be used in the recipe in place of granulated sugar, or the surface can be sprinkled with dark spices before baking. Cooking Techniques К - La A pr HER dr a ZA eta A E ma: > pas de + EME ON Ra e Try rta E + > UU Ex: | ОН : i x ar a LPN SPR + Individual foods, such as baked potatoes, cup- cakes and appetizers, will cook mare evenly if placed in the oven equal distances apart. When possible, arrange foods in a circular pattern. Covering As with conventional cooking, moisture evapo- rates during microwave cooking. Casserole lids or plastic wrap are used for a tighter seal. When using plastic wrap, vent the plastic wrap by fold- ing back part of the plastic wrap from the edge of the dish to allow steam to escape. Loosen or remove plastic wrap as recipe directs tor stand time. When removing plastic wrap covers, as well as any glass lids, be careful to remove them away from you to avoid steam burns. Various degrees of moisture retention are also obtained by using wax paper or paper towels. However, unless specitied, a recipe is cooked covered. 17 Shielding Thin areas of meat and poultry cook more quickly than meaty portions. To prevent overcooking, these thin areas can be shielded with strips of aluminum foil. Wooden toothpicks may be used to hold the foil in place. Timing A range in cooking time is given in each recipe. The time range compensates for the uncontrol- lable differences in food shapes, starting temperature and regional preferences. Always cook food for the minimum cooking time given in a recipe and check for doneness. If the food is undercooked, continue cooking. It is easier to add time to an undercooked product. Once the food is overcooked, nothing can be done, Stirring Stirring is usually necessary during microwave cooking. We have noted when stirring is helpful, using the words once, twice, frequently or occasionally to describe the amount of stirring necessary. Always bring the cooked outside edges toward the center and the less cooked center portions toward the outside of the dish. Rearranging Rearrange small items such as chicken pieces, shrimp, hamburger patties or pork chops. Rearrange pieces from the edge to the center and pieces from the center to the edge of the ish. Turning It is not possible to stir some foods to redistribute the heat. At times, microwave energy will concen- trate in one area of a food. To help insure even cooking, these foods need to be turned. Turn over large foods, such as roasts or turkeys, halfway through cooking. Stand Time Mast foods will continue to cook by conduction after the microwave oven is turned off. In meat cookery, the internal temperature will rise 5°F to 15°F (3°C to 8°C), if allowed to stand, tented with foil, for 10 to 15 minutes. Casseroles and vegetables need a shorter amount of standing time, but this standing time is necessary to allow foods to complete cooking to the center without overcooking on the edges. Test for Doneness The same tests for doneness used in conventional cooking may be used for microwave cooking. Meat is done when fork-tender or splits at fibers. Chicken is done when juices are clear yellow and drumstick moves freely, Fish is done when it flakes and is opaque. Cake is done when a tooth- pick or cake tester is inserted and comes out clean. Candy is done when it reaches the proper temperature for each stage of crystallization. Care of Your Microwave Oven BEFORE CLEANING: AFTER CLEANING: | Unplug at socket of the oven.
