Make sure to use suitable cookware during microwave cooking. Most glass casseroles, cooking dishes, measuring 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 “suitable for microwaving.”

■Place food or microwavable container directly on the glass turntable to cook your food.

■Use of the black metal tray during microwave cooking will result in inferior cooking performance.

■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 30–45 seconds 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 products. Recycled paper towels, napkins and waxed paper can contain metal flecks which may cause arcing or ignite. Paper products containing 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 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:

 

Use microwave-safe plastics only and use

1

them in strict compliance with the cookware

 

 

manufacturer’s recommendations.

2

 

Do not permit children to use plastic
