ARE GUIDE 

Containers

Can be used if heat-resistant thermoplastic. 

Some plastics may warp or discolor at high 

temperatures. Do not use Melamine plastic.

Cling film

Can be used to retain moisture. Avoid 

wrapping the food too tightly. Take care 

when removing the film as hot steam will 

escape.

Freezer bags

Only if boilable or oven-proof. Should not be 

airtight. Pierce with a fork if necessary.

Can be used to retain moisture and prevent 

spattering.

Use only those marked “Microwave-safe” 

and follow the directions. Check the 

temperature in several places. You can use 

conventional thermometers once the food 

has been removed from the oven.

Use only for short-term heating, as these 

materials can be flammable.

Porcelain, pottery, glazed earthenware 

and bone china are usually suitable, unless 

decorated with a metal trim.

cooking guide

Microwave energy actually penetrates food and is attracted and absorbed by the water, 

fat and sugar in the food. The microwaves cause the molecules in the food to move 

rapidly. The rapid movement of these molecules creates friction and the resulting heat 

cooks the food.

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 prevent them from becoming tough.

Foods with a non-porous skin such as potatoes or hot dogs, should be pierced to prevent 

bursting.

Putting heating oil or fat in the microwave is not recommended. Fat and oil can suddenly boil 

over and cause severe burns.

Some ingredients heat faster than others. For example, the jelly in a jelly doughnut will be 

hotter than the dough. Keep this in mind to avoid burns.

The altitude and the type of cookware you are using can affect the cooking time. When 

trying a new recipe, use the minimum cooking time and check the food occasionally to 

prevent overcooking.

Home canning in the microwave oven is not recommended because not all harmful bacteria 

may be destroyed by the microwave heating process.

Although microwaves do not heat the cookware, the heat from the food is often transferred 

to the cookware. Always use pot holders when removing food from the microwave and 

instruct children to do the same.

Making candy in the microwave is not recommended as candy can be heated to very high 

temperatures. Keep this in mind to avoid injury.

 If the oven is set to cook for more than 20 minutes, it will automatically adjust to 

70 percent power after 20 minutes to avoid overcooking.

Stirring

Open the microwave door and stir foods such as casseroles and vegetables occasionally 

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 towards the center. The oven will 

turn off when you open the door to stir your food.
