Page 19: Cooking Guide
Microwaves pass through some materials such as paper, glass and plastic much like sunlight shining through a window. Because these substances do not absorb or reflect the microwave energy, they are ideal materials for microwave oven cooking containers. - Page 21 Stirring: Stir foods from outside to center of dish once or twice during cooking to equalize heat and speed microwaving. Foods will not burn or stick, so there’s no need to stir constantly as you do in conventional cooking. Arrangement: Arrange foods with thin or delicate ends, Iike drumsticks or asparagus spears with the thick or tougher portions to the outside of the dish.
- Page 22 Defrosting frozen food is one of the benefits of a microwave oven. Microwave defrosting is much faster than refrigerator defrosting and safer than room temperature defrosting, since it does not promote the growth of harmful bacteria. Furthermore, your oven does program defrosting for foods listed below. See page 9 for more information.

Page 23: Popping Popcorn
One of the major features of your microwave oven is popping popcorn. Place the microwave popcorn package (3.5 oz) onto a microwaveable dish, then on the glass tray, following the manufacturer's instructions. Touch the POPCORN pad and the oven will operate for 2 minutes and 55 seconds at full power (PL 10), the average popping time. -
Page 24: Meats
You may defrost meat within its original plastic wrappings. Remove all metal rings, wire twist-ties and foil wrapping. Place meat in a microwaveable dish. Defrost in the microwave oven only as long as necessary, since standing time will complete the thawing process. 1 cup ( 1 min., 35 sec.) 2 cups ( 2 min., 50 sec.) - Page 25 4 1/2 - 6 1/2 min. Roasts, chops, hamburgers and small cuts of tender meat cook beautifully in the microwave oven. Most roasts can be cooked rare, medium rare or even well done in less than one hour. Less tender cuts of meat such as pot roast can be simmered fork tender in a sauce or gravy.

Page 26: Poultry
4 1/2 - 6 1/2 min. Chicken is one of the most popular foods and microwaving chicken is one of the best uses of your microwave oven. Chicken stays juicy and tender in the microwave oven. However, juiciness prevents browning because chicken crisps and browns only when the skin dries out enough to change color. -
Page 27: Seafood
Microwaving is one of the easiest and most efficient ways of preparing fish and seafood, which stay delicate and tender with quick, moist cooking. Overcooking dries out and toughens seafood, so you should check it after the minimum time. If thick pieces like fish steaks or lobster tails are done on the outside, but still slightly translucent in the middle, let them stand for a few minutes;... -
Page 29: Vegetables
Increase time for very soft texture. Remember to allow standing time of 2 to 5 minutes after cooking, because as most foods do, vegetables will continue to cook after they are removed from the microwave oven. -
Page 30: Sauces
Casseroles may require occasional stirring to distribute heat. They cook more evenly when made with ingredients of similar size and shape. Because of their shorter cooking time, casseroles cooked in the microwave oven generally need less liquid. Casseroles with cream and cheese sauces, or meats which need slower cooking to tenderize, cook best on power level 4. - Page 31 Sandwiches heat very quickly because, being porous, they have a low density. Since the filling is usually more dense than the bread or rolls, the filling determines the heating time. Surprisingly, the filling will always be hotter than the bread feels. Care must be taken not to overcook as the bread will become tough.
-
Page 32: Beverages
Beverages can be quickly heated or reheated in the microwave oven. Individual servings can be heated directly in cups or mugs, so you avoid washing sticky pans. Handles of cups and mugs stay cool, even though the beverage gets hot. Beverages can be quickly reheated. -
Page 33: Desserts
Fill paper-lined muffin cups to only half full which allows for muffins to rise more than normal. • You can prepare your own "brown 'n serve" breads and rolls by baking them ahead of time in the microwave oven. Then, place them in a conventional oven to brown prior to serving. -
