Safety

■“Boilable” cooking pouches and tightly closed plastic bags should be slit, pierced or vented as directed by package. If they are not, plastic could burst during or immediately after cooking, possibly resulting in injury. Also, plastic 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.

■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″ away

from the sides of the oven.

■Plastic cookware—Plastic cookware designed for microwave cooking is very useful, but should be used carefully. Even microwave-safe plastic may not be as tolerant of overcooking conditions as are glass or ceramic materials and may soften or char if subjected to short periods of overcooking. In longer exposures to overcooking, the food and cookware could ignite.

Follow these guidelines:

1Use microwave-safe plastics only and use

them in strict compliance with the cookware manufacturer’s recommendations.

2 Do not microwave empty containers.

3 Do not permit children to use plastic cookware without complete supervision.
