Get to Know Your Microwave
It's important to become thoroughly acquainted with your microwave. It doesn't cook like your other appliances. While microwaves can get food hot enough to kill bacteria that may be present, the microwave doesn't always cook evenly. Therefore, it's up to the cook to arrange, cover, rotate, stir, and turn foods so they reach a safe temperature throughout.
Read all the manufacturer's instructions before operating the appliance. Don't use it for jobs it was not designed to handle. If you have a question about information supplied with the microwave or need guidance on other items, contact the microwave oven's manufacturer.
