10Cooking InstructionsGuide for Cooking Seafood in Your Microwave• Cook fish until it flakes easily with a fork.• Place fish on a microwave-safe roasting rack in a microwave-safe dish.• Use a tight cover to steam fish. A lighter cover of wax paper or paper towelprovides less steaming.• Do not overcook fish; check it at minimum cooking time.Guide forCooking Eggs in Your Microwave• Never cook eggs in the shell, and never warm hard-cooked eggs in the shell; theycan explode.• Always pierce whole eggs to keep them from bursting.• Cook eggs just until set; they become tough if overcooked.Guide for Cooking Vegetables in Your Microwave• Vegetables should be washed just before cooking. Often, no extra water isneeded. If dense vegetables such as potatoes, carrots and green beans are beingcooked, add about ¼ cup water.• Small vegetables (sliced carrots, peas, lima beans, etc.) will cook faster than largerones.• Whole vegetables, such as potatoes, acorn squash or corn on the cob, should bearranged in a circle on the turntable before cooking. They will cook more evenly ifturned over after half the cooking time.• Always place vegetables like asparagus and broccoli with the stem ends pointingtowards the edge of the dish and the tips toward the center.• When cooking cut vegetables, always cover the dish with a lid or ventedmicrowavable plastic wrap.• Whole, unpeeled vegetables such as potatoes, squash, eggplant, etc., shouldhave their skin pricked in several spots before cooking to prevent them frombursting.• For more even cooking, stir or rearrange whole vegetables halfway through thecooking time.• Generally, the denser the food, the longer the standing time. (Standing time refersto the time necessary for dense, large foods and vegetables to finish cooking afterthey come out of the oven.) A baked potato can stand on the counter for fiveminutes before cooking is completed, while a dish of peas can be servedimmediately.Auto Defrosting Guide• Follow the instructions below when defrosting different types of food.NotesCheck foods when the oven signals. After the final stage, small sections may still beicy; let them stand to continue thawing. Do not defrost until all ice crystals have thawed.Shielding roasts and steaks with small pieces of foil prevents the edges from cookingbefore the center of the food has defrosted.
