Getting Started
• Turn foods over once during microwaving to speed cooking of such
foods as chicken and hamburgers. Large items like roasts must be
turned over at least once.
• Rearrange foods such as meatballs halfway through cooking both
from top to bottom and from right to left.
• Add standing time. Remove food from Built-in Microwave Hood and
stir, if possible. Cover for standing time which allows the food to fin-
ish cooking without overcooking.
• Check for doneness. Look for signs indicating that cooking tempera-
tures have been reached.
Doneness signs include:
- Food steams throughout, not just at edge.
- Center bottom of dish is very hot to the touch.
- Poultry thigh joints move easily.
- Meat and poultry show no pinkness.
- Fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
Food Do Don't
Eggs,
sausages,
nuts, seeds,
fruits &
vegetables
• Puncture egg yolks
before cooking to prevent
“explosion”.
• Pierce skins of potatoes,
apples, squash, hot dogs
and sausages so that
steam escapes.
• Cook eggs in shells.
• Reheat whole eggs.
• Dry nuts or seeds in
shells.
Popcorn • Use specially bagged
popcorn for the
microwave.

for the popping to slow
