Other Helpful Information GETTING THE BEST RESULTS FROM YOUR MICROWAVE OVEN SPECIAL TECHNIQUES MICROWAVE COOKING IN Keep an eye on things. The instructions in this book have been formulated with great care, but your success in preparing food depends, of course, on how much attention you pay to the food as it cooks.

Other Helpful Information Elevating: Thick or dense foods are often elevated so that microwaves can be absorbed by the underside and center of the foods. Piercing: Foods enclosed in a shell, skin, or membrane are likely to burst in the oven unless they are pierced prior to cooking. Such foods include both yolks and whites of eggs, clams and oysters, and many whole vegetables and fruits. Testing if cooked: Because foods cook so quickly in a microwave oven, it is necessary to test food frequently.
Cooking Utensils CAUTION ] To avoid risk of personal injury or property damage, do not use stoneware, alumium foil, metal utensils, or metal trimmed utensils in the oven. MICROWAVE-SAFE UTENSILS Never use metal or metal-trimmed utensils in your microwave oven: Microwaves cannot penetrate metal. They will bounce off any metal object in the oven and cause arcing, an alarming phenomenon that resembles lightning. Most heat-resistant non-metallic cooking utensils are safe for use in your microwave oven.
