To cook food in your microwave oven, microwaves must be able to penetrate the food without being reflected or absorbed by the cookware holding the food.

Consequently, it is important to choose cookware that both allows microwaves to penetrate food and is microwave-safe. The following lists contain various types of cookware and indicate if and how the cookware should be used in a microwave oven. Leave a small opening for steam to escape and avoid placing it directly on the food. They absorb excess moisture and prevent spattering.

Do not use recycled paper towels, which may contain metal and can catch fire. Do not use recycled paper, which may contain metal and can catch fire. Check the food in several places. Conventional thermometers may be used once the food has been removed from the oven. Using too much foil can damage your oven, so be careful. If they are not labeled, test them to make sure they can be used safely.

Never use dishes with metallic trim. Other plastics can melt. If you are not sure whether a dish is microwave-safe or not, you can perform this test:. Fill a 1 cup glass measuring cup with water and put it inside your oven, next to the dish you want to test.

Set the microwave to 1 minute using. This will heat the glass and dish for one minute at High power. When the microwave stops, the water should be warm and the dish you are testing should be cool.

If the dish is warm, then it is absorbing microwave energy and is not acceptable for use in the microwave. Microwave energy actually penetrates food and is attracted to and absorbed by the water, fat, and sugar molecules in the food. The microwaves cause the molecules in the food to move rapidly.

The rapid movement of these molecules creates friction and the resulting heat cooks the food. Stir foods such as casseroles and vegetables while cooking to distribute heat evenly. Food at the outside of the dish absorbs more energy and heats more quickly, so stir from the outside to the center.

The oven will turn off when you open the door to stir your food. Arrange unevenly shaped foods, such as chicken pieces or chops, with the thicker, meatier parts toward the outside of the turntable where they will receive more microwave energy.

To prevent overcooking, place thin or delicate parts toward the center of the turntable. Shield food with narrow strips of aluminum foil to prevent overcooking.

Areas that need shielding include poultry wing-tips, the ends of poultry legs, and the corners of square baking dishes. Use only small amounts of aluminum foil. Larger amounts can damage your oven. Turn foods over midway through cooking to expose all parts to microwave energy. This is especially important with large items such as roasts. Food cooked in the microwave builds up internal heat and continues to cook for a few minutes after the oven stops.

Let food stand to complete cooking, especially food such as roasts and whole vegetables. Roasts need this time to complete cooking in the center without overcooking the outer areas. All liquids, such as soup or hot chocolate, should be shaken or stirred when cooking is complete. Let liquids stand a moment before serving.

When heating baby food, stir well and test the temperature before serving. Microwave energy is attracted to water molecules. Food that is uneven in moisture content should be covered or allowed to stand so that the heat disperses evenly. Add a small amount of water to dry food to help it cook. After covering a dish with plastic wrap, vent the plastic wrap by turning back one corner so excess steam can escape. Food with a delicate texture should be heated at a low power level to prevent it from becoming tough.

When trying a new recipe, use the minimum cooking time and check the food occasionally to prevent overcooking. Fat and oil can suddenly boil over and cause severe burns.

For example, the jelly inside a jelly doughnut will be hotter than the dough. Keep this in mind to avoid burns. Always use pot holders when removing food from the microwave and instruct children to do the same.

Keep this in mind to avoid injury. They can explode. They become tough if overcooked. Often, no extra water is needed. They will cook more evenly if turned over after half the cooking time. Standing time refers to the time necessary for dense, large foods and vegetables to finish cooking after they come out of the oven. A baked potato can stand on the counter for five minutes before cooking is completed, while a dish of peas can be served immediately.
