Styrofoam plates and cups --These can melt and leave unhealthy reside on food.

Plastic storage and food containers --Containers such as margarine tubs can melt in the microwave.

Metal utensils --These can damage your microwave. Remove all metal before cooking.

Note:

•Should you wish to check if a dish is safe for microwaving, place the empty dish in the microwave and microwave on high for 30 seconds. A dish that becomes very hot should not be used.

COOKING TECHNIQUES

Your microwave makes cooking easier than conventional cooking, provided you keep these considerations in mind:

STIRRING

•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 quicker, so stir from the outside to the center.

•The microwave will turn off when you open the door to stir your food.

ARRANGEMENT

•Arrange evenly shaped foods, such as chicken pieces or chops, with the thicker, meatier parts towards the outside of the turntable where they receive more microwave energy.

•To prevent overcooking, place delicate areas, such as asparagus tips, towards the center of the turntable.
