ABOUT MICROWAVE COOKING
  Arrange food carefully. Place thickest areas towards 
outside of dish.
  Watch cooking time. Cook for the shortest amount     
of time indicated and add more as needed. Food 
severely overcooked can smoke or ignite.
  Cover foods while cooking. Check recipe or cook-
book for suggestions: paper towels, wax paper,      
microwave plastic wrap or a lid. Covers prevent      
spattering and help foods to cook evenly.
  Shield with small fl at pieces of aluminum foil any              
thin areas of meat or poultry to prevent overcooking 
before dense, thick areas are cooked thoroughly.
  Stir foods from outside to center of dish once or twice 
during cooking, if possible.
  Turn foods over once during microwaving to                
speed cooking of such foods as chicken and ham-
burgers. Large items like roasts must be turned over 
at least once.
  Rearrange foods such as meatballs halfway        
through cooking both from top to bottom and from 
the center of the dish to the outside.
  Add standing time. Remove food from oven and      
stir, if possible. Cover for standing time which allows 
the food to fi nish cooking without overcooking.
  Check for doneness. Look for signs indicating that              
cooking temperatures have been reached. 
Doneness signs include:
-  Food steams throughout, not just at edge.
-  Center bottom of dish is very hot to the touch.
-  Poultry thigh joints move easily.
-  Meat and poultry show no pinkness.
-  Fish is opaque and fl akes easily with a fork.
  Check foods to see that they are cooked to 
          
the United States Department of Agriculture's 
recommended temperatures.
To test for doneness, insert a meat thermometer in 
a  thick or dense area away from fat or bone. NEVER   
leave the thermometer in the food during cooking, un-
less it is approved for microwave oven use.
  ALWAYS use potholders to prevent burns when 
                
handling utensils that are in contact with hot food. 
Enough heat from the food can transfer through 
utensils to cause skin burns.
  Avoid steam burns by directing steam away from         
the face and hands. Slowly lift the farthest edge of            
a dish's covering and carefully open popcorn and 
oven cooking bags away from the face.
  Stay near the oven while it's in use and check cooking 
progress frequently so that there is no chance of 
overcooking food.
  NEVER use the cavity for storing cookbooks or 
                  
other items.
  Select, store and handle food carefully to preserve           
its high quality and minimize the spread of foodborne 
bacteria.
  Keep waveguide cover clean. Food residue can 
 
cause arcing and/or fi res.
• 
Use care when removing items from the oven so        
that the utensil, your clothes or accessories do not 
touch the safety door latches.
