Covering food helps retain moisture, shorten cook time and 
reduce spattering. Use the lid supplied with cookware. If a lid is 
not available, wax paper, paper towels or plastic wrap approved 
for microwave ovens may be used. Plastic wrap should be turned 
back at one corner to provide an opening to vent steam. 
Condensation on the door and cavity surfaces is normal during 
heavy cooking.

Stirring and turning redistribute heat evenly to avoid overcooking 
the outer edges of food. Stir from outside to center. If possible, 
turn food over from bottom to top.

If heating irregularly shaped or different sized foods, arrange the 
thinner parts and smaller sized items toward the center. If cooking 
several items of the same size and shape, place them in a ring 
pattern, leaving the center of the ring empty.

Before heating, use a fork or small knife to pierce or prick foods 
that have a skin or membrane, such as potatoes, egg yolks, 
chicken livers, hot dogs, and sausage. Prick in several places to 
allow steam to vent.

Use small, flat pieces of aluminum foil to shield the thin pieces of 
irregularly shaped foods, bones and foods such as chicken wings, 
leg tips and fish tail. See “Aluminum Foil and Metal” first.

Food will continue to cook by the natural conduction of heat even 
after the microwave cooking cycle ends. The length of standing 
time depends on the volume and density of the food.

Cookware and dinnerware must fit on the turntable. Always use 
oven mitts or pot holders when handling because any dish may 
become hot from heat transferred from the food. Do not use 
cookware and dinnerware with gold or silver trim. Use the 
following chart as a guide, then test before using. 

1. Place cookware or dinnerware in microwave oven with 

1 cup (250 mL) of water beside it.

2. Cook at 100% cooking power for 1 minute.
Do not use cookware or dinnerware if it becomes hot and the 
water stays cool.

Always use oven mitts or pot holders when removing dishes from 
the microwave oven.
Aluminum foil and some metal can be used in the microwave 
oven. If not used properly, arcing (a blue flash of light) can occur 
and cause damage to the microwave oven.

Racks and bakeware supplied with the microwave oven (on some 
models), aluminum foil for shielding, and approved meat 
thermometers may be used with the following guidelines:

■

To avoid damage to the microwave oven, do not allow 
aluminum foil or metal to touch the inside cavity walls, 
ceiling or floor.

■

Always use the turntable. 

■

To avoid damage to the microwave oven, do not allow contact 
with another metal object during microwave cooking.

Metal cookware and bakeware, gold, silver, pewter, non-approved 
meat thermometers, skewers, twist ties, foil liners such as 
sandwich wrappers, staples and objects with gold or silver trim or 
a metallic glaze should not be used in the microwave oven.

Use the provided tall grill rack with an ovenproof pan to catch the 
drippings.

Use the provided short convection rack and an ovenproof baking 
dish for convection baking.
Use the provided short convection rack and a microwave-safe, 
ovenproof baking dish for convection roasting.
