cookware guide

For food to cook in the microwave oven, the microwaves must be able to penetrate the food without being reflected or absorbed by the dish. It is important to choose the correct cookware, therefore, look for cookware that is marked microwave-safe.

The following table lists various types of cookware and indicates if and how they should be used in a microwave oven.

MICROWAVE-SAFE UTENSILS

If you are not sure whether an item is microwave-safe, you can perform the following simple test:

1.Place 1 cup of water (in a glass-measuring cup) inside your oven next to the item to be tested.

2.Press the Add 30 sec button twice to heat them both for one minute at high power.

After one minute, the water should be warm and the item you are testing should be cool. If the dish is warm, then it is absorbing microwave energy and is not microwave-safe.
