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 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.
