Microwave Oven Tips Because microwave cooking differs so much from conventional cooking, it’s important to understand the principle of microwave cooking and follow manufacturer’s directions to get the desired results. The manufacturer’s manual, important for any appliance or piece of equipment, is especially important for microwave cooking. Each make and model of microwave oven on the market may require slightly different timing and operation and have different features such as browning trays or dishes, revolving carrousel trays or controls that permit slower speeds for defrosting or for doing slower cooking. Try a few recipes from the instruction book first. As you gain confidence and find how to use your appliance, you’ll want to prepare some of your own family favorites. To determine the right cooking time, check the instruction book for the timing suggested for a similar food of about the same quantity. Use this as guide for your timing. Tuning is the most im portant factor when cooking with microwave energy. You will find that it’s best to undercook. Use the shortest recommended time.

Now lubricate wheel bearings and moving parts. Finally, check the blade with the spark plug wire disconnected and sharpen or replace it if necessary. If you sharpen the blade, take care not to sharpen it out of balance. Finish the job by lightly coating the blade with oil to prevent rust.
