Food Preparation

Follow these Safety Precautions when cooking in your oven.

IMPORTANT

Proper cooking depends upon the power, the time setting

and quantity of food. If you use a smaller portion than

recommended but cook at the time for the recommended

portion, fire could result.

1) HOME CANNING / STERILIZING / DRYING FOODS / SMALL

QUANTITIES OF FOODS

• DO NOT use your oven for home canning. Your oven cannot

maintain the food at the proper canning temperature. The food

may be contaminated and then spoil.

• DO NOT use the microwave oven to sterilize objects (baby

bottles, etc.). It is difficult to keep the oven at the high

temperature needed for sterilization.

• DO NOT dry meats, herbs, fruits or vegetables in your oven.

Small quantities of food or foods with low moisture content can

dry out, scorch or catch on fire if overheated.

• DO NOT prepare small food portions at high power. This can

cause energy concentration at a fixed spot, which can lead to

arcing and damage to your oven. Select a lower cook power

setting when preparing small portions.

2) POPCORN

Popcorn may be popped in a microwave oven corn popper.

Microwave popcorn that pops in its own package is also available.

Follow popcorn manufacturers’ directions and use a brand suitable

for the cooking power of your microwave oven.

CAUTION: When using pre-packaged microwave popcorn, you can

follow recommended package instructions or use the Popcorn pad

(refer to page 17). Otherwise, the popcorn may not pop adequately

or may ignite and cause a fire. Never leave the oven unattended

when popping popcorn. Allow the popcorn bag to cool before

opening, and always open the bag facing away from your face and

body to prevent steam burns.

3) DEEP FAT FRYING

• DO NOT deep fat fry in your microwave oven. Cooking oils

may burst into flames and may cause damage to the oven and

may result in burns. Microwave utensils may not withstand the

temperature of the hot oil, and can shatter or melt.

4) FOODS WITH NONPOROUS SKINS

• DO NOT COOK / REHEAT WHOLE EGGS, WITH OR WITHOUT

THE SHELL.

Steam buildup in whole

eggs may cause them to

explode, and possibly

damage the oven or

cause injury. Reheating

SLICED hard-boiled eggs

and cooking SCRAMBLED eggs is safe.

• Potatoes, apples, whole squash and sausages are examples

of foods with nonporous skins. These

types of foods must be pierced before

microwave cooking to prevent them

from exploding.

CAUTION: Cooking dry or old potatoes

can cause fire.

5) GLASS TRAY / COOKING CONTAINERS / FOIL

• Cooking containers get hot during microwaving. Heat is

transferred from the HOT food to the container and the Glass

Tray. Use pot holders when removing containers from the oven

or when removing lids or plastic wrap covers from cooking

containers, to avoid burns.

• The Glass Tray will get hot during cooking. It should be allowed

to cool before handling or before paper products, such as paper

plates or microwave popcorn bags, are placed in the oven for

microwave cooking.

• When using foil in the oven, allow at least 1-inch (2.5 cm) of

space between foil and interior oven walls or door.

• Dishes with metallic trim should not be used, as arcing

may occur.

6) PAPER TOWELS / CLOTHS

• DO NOT use paper towels or cloths that contain a synthetic fiber

woven into them. The synthetic fiber may cause the towel to

ignite. Use paper toweling under supervision.

7) BROWNING DISHES / OVEN COOKING BAGS

• Browning dishes or grills are designed for microwave cooking

only. Always follow instructions provided by the manufacturer.

DO NOT preheat browning dish more than six minutes.

• If an oven cooking bag is used for microwave cooking, prepare

according to package directions. DO NOT use a wire twist-tie to

close bag. Instead use plastic ties, cotton string or a strip cut

from the open end of the bag.
