Microwave Oven / User Manual
Microwave utensil guide
Use Do not use
Oven proof glass (specifically 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 metal-
lic 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. Use plastic dishes,
cups, semi-rigid freezer containers and plastic bags for
short cooking times. Use these with care because the
plastic may soften from the heat of the food.
Paper:
Paper towls, waxed paper, paper napkins and paper
plates with no metallic trim or design. Look for the
manufacturer’s label for any special instructions for use
in the microwave oven.
Metal utensils:
Metal shields the food from microwave energy and pro-
duces uneven cooking. Also, avoid metal skewers, ther-
mometers or foil trays. Metal utensils can cause arcing,
which can damage your microwave oven.
Metal decoration:
Bowls, cups, serving plates and platters without metal-
lic trim.
Aluminum foil:
Avoid large sheets of aluminum foil because they hin-
der 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 of the
oven cavity and door of the microwave.
Wood:
Wooden bowls and boards will dry out and may split or
crack when you use them in the microwave oven. Bas-
kets made of wood will react in the same way.
Tightly covered utensils:
Be sure to leave openings for steam to escape from
covered cookware. Pierce plastic pouches of vegeta-
bles or other food items before cooking. Tightly closed
pouches may explode.
Brown paper:
Avoid using brown paper bags. They absorb heat and
can burn.
Flawed or chipped cooking utensils:
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.
