Getting to Know Your Microwave Oven This section discusses the concepts behind microwave cooking. It also shows the basics that you need to know in order to operate your microwave oven. Please read this information before using your oven. HOW YOUR MICROWAVE OVEN WORKS Microwave ovens are safe. Microwave energy is not hot. It causes food to make its own heat, and it is this heat that cooks the food. Microwaves are like TV waves, radio waves, or light waves.
FOR THE BEST COOKING RESULTS for the shortest cooking time recommended. Check to see how the food is cooking. If needed, touch Add 30 Sec while the oven is operating, or after the cooking cycle is over (see the "Add 30 Sec" section). r, turn over, or rearrange the food being cooked about halfway through the cooking time for all recipes. This will help ensure that the food is evenly cooked. If you do not have a cover for a dish, use wax paper, or microwave-approved paper towels or plastic wrap.
