RECOMMENDED UTENSILS AND COOKING AIDS
Wax paper: Use as a cover to prevent splattering
Microwaveable plastic wrap: Use to retain steam. Leave a small opening for
some steam to escape and avoid placing wrap directly on the food
Paper towels and napkins: Use for short-term heating and covering; they ab-
sorb excess moisture and prevent splattering. Do not use recycled paper tow-
els—they may contain metal and could ignite.
Paper plates and cups: Use for short-term heating at low temperatures. Do not
use recycled paper which may contain metal and could ignite.
Microwaveable glass and dishware: Use microwave-safe glass and dishware
for heating and cooking. Do not use if chipped or cracked—glass and dishware
could explode.
NOTE: Do not place refrigerated glass or dishware directly in the microwave—re-
frigerated glass or dishware could crack. Instead, put food into a room-tempera-
ture dish and heat safely.
Plastic: Use only microwave-safe plastic. Other plastics may melt.
Microwave browning dish: Use to brown the exterior of smaller items such as
steaks, chops or pancakes. Follow the directions provided with your browning
dish.
Thermometers: Use only those labeled “microwave safe” and follow all direc-
tions. Check the food in several places. Conventional thermometers may be used
on microwaved food once the food has been removed from the microwave.
NOT RECOMMENDED UTENSILS AND COOKING AIDS
Glass jars and bottles: Regular glass is too thin to be used in a microwave. It
can shatter and cause damage and injury.
Paper bags: Do not use paper bags in microwave—they are a fire hazard (with
the exception of popcorn bags that are designed for one-time use in micro-
waves).
Styrofoam plates and cups: Styrofoam can melt and leave an unhealthy resi-
due on food.
Plastic storage and food containers: Use only microwave-safe containers.
Containers such as margarine tubs can melt in the microwave.
Metal utensils: Metal utensils can damage your microwave. Remove all metal
before cooking.
