How your microwave oven works (cont.)
Microwaves pass through most glass, paper, and
plastics without heating
them so food absorbs
the energy. Microwaves
bounce off metal con-
tainers so food does
not absorb the energy.
Microwaves may not reach the center of a roast.
The heat spreads to
the center from the
outer, cooked areas
just as in regular oven
cooking. This is one
of the masons for
letting some foods
(for example, roasts
or baked potatoes)
stand for a while after
cooking, or for stirring
some foods during the cooking time.
The microwaves disturb water molecules in the
food. As the molecules bounce around bumping
into each other, heat is made, like rubbing your
hands together. This is the heat that does the
cooking.
NOTE: Do not deep fry in the oven. Microwavable
cookware is not suitable and it is difficult to
maintain appropriate deep frying temperatures.
For the best cooking results
• Always cook food for the shortestcookingtime
recommended.Check to see how the food is
cooking.If needed, touchADD ONE MINUTE while
the oven isoperatingor afterthe cookingcycle is
over (seathe "Using ADD ONE MINUTE" section).
• To help make surethe food isevenly cooked, stir,
turnover,or rearrangethefood about halfway
throughthe cookingtime.
• Ifyou do not havea cover for a dish, usewax
paper, or microwave-approved paper towels or
plasticwrap. Rememberto turn back a comer of
the plasticwrap 1_to ½ inchtovent steam during
heatingor cooking.
