Natural
moisture
Very moist foods cook more evenly
because microwave energy heats
water molecules very efficiently.
Stir foods
during cooking
Stir foods, such as casseroles and
vegetables, from the outside to the
center to distribute the heat more
evenly. This will allow the food to cook
faster. Constant stirring is not
necessary.
Turn food over Turn over foods, such as pork chops,
roasts or whole cauliflower, halfway
through the cook time. This will help to
expose all sides equally to microwave
energy.
Where to place
food on the
turntable
Place delicate areas of food items,
such as asparagus tips, toward the
center of the turntable tray.
Arrange
unevenly
shapes foods
Arrange unevenly shaped foods, such
as chicken pieces or salmon, with the
thicker or meatier parts toward the
outside of the turntable tray.
Let food stand After removing the food from the
microwave:
¡ cover the food with foil or a
casserole lid and let it stand to finish
cooking. This will help the food finish
cooking in the center and avoids
overcooking the outer edges.
¡ The length of stand time depends on
the density and surface area of the
food items.
Wrap foods Wrap sandwiches and other food types
containing pre-baked bread in paper
towels or wax paper before you place
them in the appliance. This helps to
prevent the food items from drying out
while heating.
