Useful Tips
Microwave Cooking Tips
Space items for maximum surface exposure. Cut food into equal sizes for uniform cooking. Allow standing time for residual cooking. Remove twist ties from packaging. Score or perforate plastic film to prevent bursting.
Liquids
Liquids may superheat. Stir liquids before heating and immerse a teaspoon to prevent sudden boiling. Stir again before removing.
Frozen Food
Defrost directly on wire shelf or use a light plastic microwave-safe container.
Food for Infants
Stir and check temperature of baby food/bottles before serving to ensure even heat distribution and prevent scalding. Remove container lid/teat before heating.
Cakes and Bread
Use "Forced Air" for cakes/bread. Use "Convection Bake" for cakes with liquid. Use "Forced Air + Microwave" (160W) for softer results. Use dark metal cake tins on wire shelf.
