The Defrost Sequence Table below provides some basic guidelines for using the three defrost sequences. You are probably used to food weights being in pounds and ounces that are fractions of a pound (for example 4 ounces equals 1/4 pound). However, in order to enter food weight in AUTO DEFROST, you must specify pounds and tenths of a pound.

COOKING GETTING THE BEST COOKING RESULTS To get the best results from your microwave oven, read and follow the guidelines below. • Storage Temperature: Foods taken from the freezer or refrigerator take longer to cook than the same foods at room temperature. The time for recipes in this book is based on the normal storage temperature of the food. • Size: Small pieces of food cook faster than large ones, pieces similar in size and shape cook more evenly.
COOKING Appetizers / Sauces / Soups Meat Cooking Appetizers: Tips and Techniques Cooking Meat: General Directions Recommended • Crisp crackers, such as melba toast, shredded wheat, and crisp rye crackers are best for microwave use. Wait until party time to add the spreads. Place a paper towel under the crackers while they cook in the microwave oven to absorb extra moisture. • Arrange individual appetizers in a circle for even cooking. • Stir dips to distribute heat and shorten cooking time.

COOKING Pasta And Rice Microwave cooking and conventional cooking of pasta, rice, and cereal require about the same amount of time, but the microwave is a more convenient method because you can cook and serve in the same dish. There is no stirring needed and leftover pasta tastes just like fresh cooked when reheated in the microwave oven. Cooking Pasta and Rice: Tips and Techniques • If you are planning to use rice or pasta in a casserole, undercook it so it is still firm.
