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. 

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 thin or 
delicate parts toward the center of the 
turntable. 

Shield food with narrow strips of aluminum 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 aluminum 
foil. Larger amounts can damage your oven. 

Turn foods over midway through cooking to 
expose all parts to microwave energy. This is 
especially important with large items such as 
roasts. 

Foods cooked in the microwave build up 
internal heat and continue to cook for a few 
minutes after the oven stops. Let foods stand 
to complete cooking, especially foods such as 
roasts 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 and 
test the temperature before serving. 

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.

• Dense foods, such as potatoes, take longer 

to heat than lighter foods. Foods with a 
delicate texture should be heated at a low 
power level to avoid becoming tough.

• Altitude and the type of cookware you are 

using can affect cooking time. When using a 
new recipe, use the minimum cooking time 
and check the food occasionally to prevent 
overcooking.

• Foods with a non-porous skin or shell, such 

as potatoes, eggs, or hot dogs, should be 
pierced to prevent bursting.

• Frying with heating oil or fat is not 

recommended. Fat and oil can suddenly boil 
over and cause severe burns.

• Some ingredients heat faster than others. 

For example, the jelly inside a jelly doughnut 
will be hotter than the dough. Keep this in 
mind to avoid burns.

• Home canning in the microwave oven is not 

recommended because all harmful bacteria 
may not be destroyed by the microwave 
heating process.

• Although microwaves do not heat the 

cookware, the heat is often transferred to the 
cookware. Always use pot holders when 
removing food from the microwave and 
instruct children to do the same.
