DISH CHECK. If you wish to check if a dish is safe for microwaving, place the empty dish in the oven and
microwave on HIGH for 30 seconds. If the dish becomes very hot, do NOT use it for microwaving.
ACCESSORIES There are many microwave accessories available for purchase. Evaluate carefully before
you purchase so that they meet your needs. A microwave-safe thermometer will assist you in determining
correct doneness and assure you that foods have been cooked to safe temperatures when using microwave-
only cooking. Sharp is not responsible for any damage to the oven when accessories are used.
About Microwave Cooking
* Arrange food carefully. Place thickest areas
toward outside of dish.
* Watch cooking time. Cook for the shortest
amount of time indicated and add more as
needed. Foods severely overcooked can smoke
or ignite.
* Cover foods while cooking. Check recipe or
cookbook for suggestions: paper towels, wax
paper, microwave plastic wrap or a lid. Covers
prevent spattering and help foods to cook evenly.
* Shield with small flat pieces of aluminum foil any
thin areas of meat or poultry to prevent
overcooking before dense, thick areas are
cooked thoroughly.
* Stir foods from outside to center of dish once or
twice during cooking, if possible.
* Turn foods over once during microwaving to
speed cooking of such foods as chicken and
hamburgers. Large items like roasts or turkey
breasts must be turned over at least once.
Yes
* Rearrange foods like meatballs halfway through
cooking both from top to bottom and from the
center of the dish to the outside.
* Add standing time. Remove food from oven and
stir, if possible. Cover for standing time which
allows the food to finish cooking without
overcooking.
* Check for doneness. Look for signs indicating
that cooking temperatures 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.
