Microwave utensil guide
USE DO NOT USE
OVEN PROOF GLASS (treated for high
intensity heat):
Utility dishes, loaf dishes, pie plates, cake
plates, liquid measuring cups, casseroles
and bowls without metallic trim.
CHINA:
Bowls, cups, serving plates and platters
without metallic trim.
PLASTIC:
Plastic wrap (as a cover)-- lay the plastic
wrap loosely over the dish and press it to
the sides.
Vent plastic wrap by turning back one edge
slightly to allow excess steam to escape.
The dish should be deep enough so that
the plastic wrap will not touch the food. As
the food heats it may melt the plastic wrap
wherever the wrap touches the food.
Use plastic dishes, cups, semirigid freezer
containers and plastic bags only for short
cooking times.
Use these with care because the plastic
may soften from the heat of the food.
PAPER:
Paper towels, waxed paper, paper napkins,
and paper plates with no metallic trim or
design. Look for the manufacturer's label for
use in the microwave oven.
METAL UTENSILS:
Metal shields the food from microwave energy and produces uneven
cooking. Also avoid metal skewers, thermometers or foil trays. Metal
utensils can cause arcing, which can damage your microwave oven.
METAL DECORATION:
Metal-trimmed or metal-banded dinnerware, casserole dishes, etc. The
metal trim interferes with normal cooking and may damage the oven.
ALUMINUM FOIL:
Avoid large sheets of aluminum foil because they hinder cooking and may
cause harmful arcing. Use small pieces of foil to shield poultry legs and
wings. Keep ALL aluminum foil at least 1 inch from the side walls and
door of the oven.
WOOD:
Wooden bowls and boards will dry out and may split or crack when you
use them in the microwave oven. Baskets react in the same way.
TIGHTLY COVERED UTENSILS:
Be sure to leave openings for steam to escape from covered utensils.
Pierce plastic pouches of vegetables or other food items before cooking.
Tightly closed pouches could explode.
BROWNPAPER:
Avoid using brown paper bags.
They absorb too much heat and could burn.
FLAWEDOR CHIPPEDUTENSILS:
Any utensil that is cracked, flawed, or chipped may break in the oven.
METAL TWIST TIES:
Remove metal twist ties from plastic or paper bags.
They become hot and could cause a fire.
