Microwaving Tips

●Make sure all cookware used in your microwave oven is suitable for microwaving. Most glass casseroles, cooking dishes, measuring cups, custard cups, pottery or chinu dinnerware which does not have metallic trim or glaze with a metal I ic 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 one cup water—set the measuring cLlp either in or next to the dish. Microwave 1 minute at high. It 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.

●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.

●Some microwaved foods require stirring, rotating or rearranging. Check cookbook supplied.

●Steam builds up pressure in foods which are tightly covered by a skin or membrane. Pierce potatoes, egg yolks and chicken livers to prevent bursting.
