Arranging food
For best results, distribute food evenly on the
plate. You can do this in several ways:
l
if you are cooking several items of the
same food,
such as baked potatoes,
place
them in a ring pattern for uniform cooking.
l
When cooking foods of uneven shapes or
thickness, place
the smaller or thinner area
of the food towards the center of the dish
where it will be heated last.
l
Arrange uneven foods,
such as fish, in the
oven with the tails to the center.
l
if you are saving a meal in the refrigerator
or “plating” a meal for reheating,
arrange
the
thicker, denser foods to the outside of the
plate and the thinner or less dense foods in
the middle.
l
Place thin slices
of meat on top of each
other or interface them.
l
Place thicker slices of meat,
such as meat
loaf and sausages close to each other.
l
Reheat gravy or sauce
in a separate
container.
l
Choose a tail, narrow container
rather
than a low and wide container. When
reheating gravy, sauce or soup, do not fill
the container more than 95.
l
When you cook or reheat whole fish,
score
the skin - this prevents cracking.
l
Shield the tail and head of whole fish
with
small pieces of foil to prevent overcooking
and ensure the foil does not touch the sides
of the oven.
l
Do not
let food or container touch the top or
sides of the oven. This will prevent possible
arcing.
Using aluminum foil
Metal containers usually should not be used in
a microwave oven. There are, however, some
exceptions. If you have purchased food which
is prepackaged in an aluminum foil container,
then refer to the instructions on the package. It
is possible to use disposable containers, but it
generally takes longer and the final result will
not be as good as if food were placed in plastic
or paper containers. If you use aluminum
containers without package instructions, follow
these guidelines:
l
Do not place
container on the wire Grilling
Rack. Sparking may occur.
l
Piace
container in a glass bowl and add
some water so that it covers the bottom of
the container, not more than ‘/4 inch high.
This ensures even heating of the container
bottom.
l
Always remove
the lid to avoid damage to
the oven.
l
Use
only undamaged containers.
l
Do not
use containers taller than Vi’.
l
Container must be
half filled.
l
To avoid sparking,
there must be a mini-
mum VI’ between the aluminum container
and the walls of the oven and also between
two aluminum containers.
l
Always piace
container on turntable.
l
Thkkness of the food layer
must be
greater than thickness of the aluminum.
l
Reheating food
in aluminum foil containers
usually takes up to double the time com-
pared to reheating in plastic, glass, china, or
paper containers. The time when food is
ready will vary a great deal.
l
Let food stand
for 2-3 minutes after heating
so that heat is spread evenly throughout
container.
NOTE:
Because of the unique design of the
aluminum CRISPWARETM Crisper Pan and
the DUO SYSTEMTM microwave system, the
Crisper Pan is quite safe to use.
Cooking you should not do in
your microwave oven
l
Do not
do canning of foods in the oven.
Closed glass jars may explode, resulting in
damage to the oven or possible personal
injury.
l
Do not
use the oven to sterilize objects
(baby bottles, etc.). It is difficult to maintain
the high temperature required for safe
sterilization.
