Installation Cooking Guidelines Unpacking Equipment The Amana Microwave Oven can make your job easier. Youll cook ahead and pre-portion more. You will also spend less time preparing special-order dishes. Inspect equipment for damage such as dents in door or dents inside oven cavity. Report any dents or breakage to source of purchase immediately. Do not attempt to use oven if damaged. Remove all materials from oven interior.
Manipulation of Foods The quantity or volume of a food can affect the amount of cooking time. As the volume of the food is increased, the time required to cook or heat the item increases almost proportionately. If twice the amount of food is placed in the oven, it will take almost twice as long to cook. To determine the time for larger quantities, multiply the individual serving time by the increased amount - then reduce the total heating time by about 20%.
Microwave Utensils Cooking Hints Never use cooking containers or covers with any metal content. This includes all metal and enameled metalcore ware, foil and metal-trimmed containers. Suitable heating containers include those made of paper products, glass, china, cloth, and wicker baskets. Recommended Glass/ceramic Natural fiber cloth Non-recycled paper Plastic Wood Cover foods for faster, more even heating. Glass lids, plastic wrap, plate covers or other paper products may be used. Do not seal.
