CARE OF YOUR MICRO WAVE OVEN To Clean Your Oven 1. Keep the inside of the oven clean. Food spatters or spilled liquids stick to oven walls and between seal and door surface.

MICRO WAVE COOKING RECIPES AND TABLES How Your Microwave Oven Works Microwaves are a form of energy similar to radio and television waves. Your microwave oven is constructed in such a way as to take advantage of microwave energy. Electricity is converted into microwave energy by the mag- netron tube, and microwaves are then sent into the cooking ar[...]

Some of the recipes, particularly those for breads, cakes, and meats suggest that food be removed from the oven when it is still slightly undercooked. This is not a mistake. When allowed to stand, the food will continue to cook outside the oven, as the heat trapped within the outer portions of the food gradually travels inward. If the food is left [...]

Turning Over: Larger sized food such as Piercing: To prevent bursting, food roasts and whole poultry should be turned over enclosed in a shell, skin or membrane must be so that the top and bottom will cook evenly.

Microwave-Safe Utensils Never use metal or metal-trimmed utensils in your microwave oven. Microwaves cannot penetrate metal.

However, some may contain materi[...]
