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