Defrosting Tips
●
For even defrosting, some foods need to be broken
up or separated part of the way through the
defrosting time.
●
Foods frozen in paper or plastic can be defrosted in
the package.
●
pre-packaged frozen dinners can be
defrosted and microwaved. If the food is in a foil
container, transfer it to a microwave-safe dish.
●
Foods that spoil easily, such as milk, eggs, fish,
stuffings, poultry and pork should not be allowed to
sit out for more than one hour after defrosting. Room
temperature promotes the growth of harmful bacteria.
Questions and Answers
Q. Can I defrost small items in a hurry?
Q. When I press START, I hear a dull, thumping
noise. What is it?
A. Yes, but they will need more frequent attention
than usual. Raise the power level after entering
the time by touching the desired power level pad.
Power level 7 cuts the total defrosting time in
about 1/2; Power level 10 cuts the total defrosting
time to approximately 1/3. During either, rotate or
stir food frequently.
A. This sound is normal. It is letting you know the
oven is using a power level
than 10 (High).

Just as in regular roasting, only tender roasts should
be Auto Roasted until specified internal temperatures
are reached. Less tender roasts should be microwaved
by time.
Auto Roast uses the temperature probe to cook
to the desired serving temperature. Unlike
Cook & Hold, which uses a single power level,
Auto Roast uses up to 3 power settings which
automatically switch during roasting, thus
providing even, tender cooking results without
overcooking.

Containers and Covers
Appropriate containers and coverings help assure
good cooking results.
●
●
Match the amount of food to the size of the
container. Fill containers at least half full for
best results.

Always use microwave-safe containers and cover
them with lids or vented plastic wrap. Wonder if
it’s microwave-safe? Put it to the test described in
the Microwaving Tips section.
Be sure the
of the cooking container and
the inside of the microwave oven are dry before
placing food in the oven. Beads of moisture turning
into steam can mislead the sensor.
●
Never use tight-sealing plastic covers—they can
prevent steam from escaping and cause food to

HOW TO USE THE
SHELF
●
Do not store microwave browning dish on metal
shelf.
●
Use the shelf only when cooking food on 2 levels.
Food microwaves best when placed directly on
the oven floor.
. Use of Double DutyTM shelf with Auto
Cook, Auto Reheat or Popcorn program is
not recommended.
●
●
Do not store or cook with shelf on floor of oven.
Product damage may result.
Use pot holders when handling metal shelf and
cookware.
be hot.
Batters and dough foods and also uncooked foods which
need to be prepared from scratch should be cooked
without the oven shelf.
The wire shelf is specifically designed for added capacity
in your microwave oven. Now more than one food may
be heated or reheated and ready to serve at the same time.
Positioning the Shelf
Next, lower the front until
the shelf support guides fit
onto the support guides
located at each side of
the oven in the front.
To position the DOUBLE
DUTYTM shelf, tip the
back slightly and fit the
shelf support guides onto
the support guides located
on each side of the oven
in the rear.
When properly positioned,
the shelf should fit
in place, be level and
the back or side wall of
the oven.
If arcing occurs when using the shelf to cook more
than one food at the same time, turn the oven off.
Make sure the shelf is not touching oven walls. To
prevent arcing, remove the shelf when you are not
using it.
How to Reheat Several Different
of Foods Together
(do not reverse positions). Check foods (especially
those on the oven floor) after 3/4 of total time and
remove any which are done. Continue cooking others.
When heating several different types of food together,
foods which should be served hot must be placed on the
shelf, while foods which need only to be warmed
should be placed on the oven floor. This is because
microwave energy enters the oven from the top only.
Also, it is important to remember that foods absorb
microwave energy at different rates. Rates can be
affected by the size of the food, and its starting
temperature.
Place on shelf large
or dense foods, which
need the most heating,
such as leftover fried
chicken, casseroles
of canned or leftover
Because of the varying rates, you may need to start
reheating a large or dense food a few minutes ahead
of time, then add other smaller or less dense foods.

undercooked but the others are heated satisfactorily,

When adapting recipes for the microwave, it is best
to start with a familiar recipe. Knowing how the
food should look and taste will help when adapting
recipes for microwaving. Foods that require
browning or crisp, dry surfaces will cook
better in regular ovens.
Stirring. In range-top cooking, you stir foods up from
the bottom to heat them evenly. When microwaving,
you stir cooked portions from the outside to the center.
Foods that require constant stirring will need only
occasional stirring when microwaving.
Over. In range-top cooking, you turn over
foods, such as hamburgers, so both sides can directly
contact the hot pan. When microwaving, turning is
often needed during defrosting or when cooking
certain foods, such as frozen hamburgers.
●
Moist foods, such as vegetables, fruits, poultry and
seafood, microwave well.
●
Rich foods, such as bar cookies, moist cakes and
candies, are suitable for microwaving because of their
high fat and sugar content.
Standing Time. When you cook with regular ovens,
foods such as roasts or cakes are allowed to stand to
finish cooking or to set. Standing time is especially
in microwave cooking. Note that a
●
Reduce regular oven cooking times by one-half to
one-third. Check food after minimum time to avoid
overcooking.
microwaved cake is not placed on a cooling rack.
●
●
Small amounts of butter or oil can be used for
flavoring, but are not needed to prevent sticking.
Seasonings may need to be reduced. Salt meats and
vegetables after cooking.
Shielding. In a regular oven, you shield chicken
breasts or baked foods to prevent over-browning.
When microwaving, you use small strips of foil to
shield thin parts, such as the tips of wings and legs
on poultry, which would cook before larger parts.
Arcing. Sparks caused by too much metal in the
microwave oven or metal touching the side of the
oven or foil that is not molded to food.
Prick Foods to Release Pressure. Steam builds up
pressure in foods that are tightly covered by a skin
or membrane. Prick foods, such as potatoes (as you
do before regular oven cooking), egg yolks and
chicken livers, to prevent bursting.
Rotating. Occasionally, repositioning a dish in the oven
helps food cook more evenly. To rotate 1/2 turn, turn the
dish until the side that was to the back of the oven is to
the front. To rotate 1/4 turn, turn the dish until the side
that was to the back of the oven is to the side.
Covering. In both regular baking and microwave
cooking, covers hold in moisture,
for more even
heating and reduce cooking time. In regular ovens,
partial covering allows excess steam to escape. Venting
plastic wrap or covering with wax paper serves the same
purpose when microwaving.
Venting. After covering a dish with plastic wrap, you
vent the plastic wrap by turning back one corner so
excess steam can escape.
Arranging Food in Oven. When baking in regular
ovens, you position foods, such as cake layers or
potatoes, so hot air can flow around them. When
microwaving, you arrange foods in a ring, so that
all sides are exposed to microwave energy.
Basic Microwave Guidelines
Piece Size. Small pieces cook faster than large ones.
Density of Food. In both regular baking and

setting for even cooking.
Shape of Food. In both types of cooking, thin areas
cook faster than thick areas. This can be controlled in
microwaving by placing thick pieces near the outside
edge and thin pieces in the center.
Starting Temperature. Foods taken from the freezer
or refrigerator take longer to cook than foods at room
temperature. Timings in our recipes are based on the
temperatures at which you normally store the foods.
Round Shapes. Since microwaves penetrate foods
to about one inch from top, bottom and sides, round
shapes and rings cook more evenly. Corners receive
more energy and may overcook. This may also happen
when cooking in a regular oven.
Delicacy. Foods with a delicate texture, such as
custards, are best cooked at lower power settings to
avoid toughening.
Quantity of Food. In both types of cooking, small
amounts usually take less time than large amounts.
This is most apparent in microwave cooking, where
time is directly related to the number of servings.
Shelf (on models so equipped). Use the shelf to heat
more than one dish at a time. Take the shelf out when
you are not using it.
Natural Moisture of food affects how it cooks. Very
moist foods cook evenly because microwave energy
is attracted to water molecules. Food that is uneven
in moisture should be covered or allowed to stand so it
heats evenly.
