USABLE COOKING UTENSILS AND MATERIALS

OVENPROOF GLASS

Ovenware (treated for high intensity heat), such as mixing bowls, bread dishes, pie plates, cake plates, liquid measuring cups, casseroles and bowls without metallic decoration.

CHINA

Bowls, cups, serving pieces, plates and platters with- out metallic decoration.

POTTERY

Dishes, cups, mugs and bowls.

PLASTIC

Plastic wrap (cling film) 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, also the film should be pierced to allow steam to escape. As the food heats, it may cause the wrap to melt wherever it touches the food. Plastic dishes, cups, semi-rigid freezer containers, and plastic bags are usable for short cooking operations. Use with care as some softening of the plastic can occur due to heat from the food.

Not suitable for microwave cooking

METAL UTENSILS

Metal utensils are not recommended because the metal shields the food from microwave energy on the bottom and sides, causing uneven cooking result. Metal utensils will also cause arcing and damage to the appliance.

METAL DECORATION

Metal-trimmed or banded dinnerware, casseroles, etc., should not be used, the metal trim may cause arcing.

ALUMINIUM FOIL

Large sheets or pieces of aluminium foil should be avoided because they will disrupt cooking and may cause harmful arcing. However, smaller pieces may be used to cover areas such as poultry legs and wings. Any aluminum foil use should never be closer than 1 inch from side walls of oven.

WOOD

Wooden bowls and boards will become dried out when used in the microwave oven and may split or crack.

OTHER

Avoid using cracked, flawed, or defective 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.
