IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION

SPECIAL NOTES ABOUT MICROWAVING

MICROWAVE-

SAFE

COOKWARE

Make sure all cookware used in your microwave oven is suitable for microwaving. Most glass casseroles, cooking dishes, meas- uring cups, custard cups, pottery or china dinnerware which does not have metallic trim or glaze with a metallic sheen can be used. Some cookware is labeled “suit- able for microwaving.”

How to test for a microwave- safe dish.

•If you are not sure if a dish is microwave-safe, use this test: Place in the oven both the dish you are testing and a glass meas- uring cup filled with 1 cup of water-set the measuring cup either in or next to the dish. Microwave 1 minute at high. If the dish heats, it should not be used for microwaving. If the dish remains cool and only the water in the cup heats, then the dish is microwave- safe.

•If you use a meat thermometer while cooking, make sure it is safe for use in microwave ovens.

•Do not use recycled paper prod- ucts. Recycled paper towels, nap- kins and waxed paper can contain metal flecks which may cause arc- ing or ignite. Paper products con- taining nylon or nylon filament

should be avoided, as they may also ignite.

•Some styrofoam trays(like those that meat is packaged on) have a thin strip of metal embedded in the bottom. When microwaved, the metal can burn the floor of the oven or ignite a paper towel.

•Do not use the microwave to dry newspapers.

•Not all plastic wrap is suitable for use in microwave ovens. Check the package for proper use.

•Paper towels, waxed paper and plastic wrap can be used to cover dishes in order to retain moisture and prevent spattering. Be sure to vent plastic wrap so steam can escape.

•Cookware may become hot because of heat transferred from the heated food. Pot holders may be needed to handle the cookware.

•Boilable” cooking pouches and tightly closed plastic bags should be slit, pierced or vented as direct- ed by package. If they are not, plastic could burst during or immediately after cooking, possi- bly resulting in injury. Also, plas- tic storage containers should be at least partially uncovered because they form a tight seal. When cooking with containers tightly covered with plastic wrap, remove covering carefully and direct steam away from hands and face.
