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

How to Test for a

Microwave-Safe Dish

8

Make sure all cookware used in your microwave oven is suitable for microwaving. Most glass casseroles, cooking dishes, measuring cups, cus- tard cups, pottery or china dinner- ware which does not have metallic trim or glaze with a metallic sheen can be used. Some cookware is labeled “suitable for microwaving.”

•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 measuring 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.

•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 filaments 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, plas- tic could burst during or immedi- ately after cooking, possibly result- ing in injury. Also, plastic storage containers should be at least par- tially uncovered because they form a tight seal. When cooking with containers tightly covered with plastic wrap, remove covering care- fully and direct steam away from hands and face.

•Use foil only as directed in this guide. TV dinners may be

microwaved in foil trays less than 3/4″ high; remove the top foil

cover and return the tray to the box. When using foil in the microwave oven, keep the foil at least 1 inch away from the sides of the oven.
