UTENSILS

MATERIALS TO USE

IN YOUR MICROWAVE OVEN

OVENPROOF GLASS

Ovenware (treated [or high-intensity heat), such as utility dishes, bread dishes, pie plates, cake plates, liquid measuring cups, casseroles and bowls without metallic trimming.

CHINA

Bowls, cups, serving pieces, plates and platters without metallic trimming.

POTTERY

Dishes, cups, mugs and serving pieces without metallic trimming.

PLASTIC

Plastic wrap may be used as a cover. Lay the plastic wrap loosely over the dish and press it to the sides. The dish should be deep enough so that plastic wrap will not touch the food. As the food heats, it may cause the wrap to melt

wherever it touches the food. Plastic dishes, cups,

semirigid freezer containers and plastic bags are usable for

short-time cooking. Use with care as some softening of the plastic may occur with heat from the food.

PAPER

Paper towels, waxed paper, paper napkins and paper plates are usable.

UTENSIL TEST: A simple way to find out if a utensil can be used for microwave cooking is to place it empty on the cooking tray. Close the door and set the time to 30 seconds (I/2 minute). Then touch START. If the utensil is warm at the end of this time, it should not be used for microwave cooking.

CAUTION: Always make sure that closed utensils are opened and plastic pouches of vegetables (or other food items) are pierced before cooking Tightly closed utensils could explode.

MATERIALS TO AVOID USING

IN YOUR MICROWAVE OVEN

METAL UTENSILS

Metal utensils are not recommended because the metal shields the food from microwave energy on the botlom and on the sides, causing uneven cooking results. Metal utensils will also cause arcing and can damage the micro-

waoe ouen.

METAL DECORATION

Metal-trimmed or metal-banded dinnerware, casserole dishes, etc., should not be used. The metal trim interferes with normal cooking and may damage the dish.

CENTURA ® TABLEWARE

Coming Glass does not recommend the use of its Cen-

tura ® tableware or Corelle ® closed handle cups for micro-

wave cooking.

ALUMINUM FOIL

Large sheets or pieces of aluminum foil should be avoided because they will hinder cooking and may cause harmful arcing. However, smaller pieces may be used to cover areas such as poultry legs and wings. Any aluminum foil used should be at least 1 inch from the side walls of oven.

WOOD

Wooden bowls and boards will dry out when used in the

microwave oven and may split or crack.

OTHER

Avoid using brown paper and cracked, flawed or chipped utensils, including ovenproof glassware.

CAUTION: Do not use metal ties on any paper or plastic bags; the ties become hot and could cause a fire.
