ABOUT MICROWAVE COOKING

MATERIALS YOU CANNOT USE IN A MICROWAVE: 

Arcing is a spark or electric flash that crackles and/or pops. Arcing can 

produce heat that is very intense and can damage the interior of the 

microwave or container(s) used. 

Arcing can also cause fire. Arcing occurs when metal containers are 

used in the microwave. Arcing can also occur with the use of metal 

skewers, metal clamps, or twist ties from plastic bags used for food 

items such as bread.

To prevent arcing, use the charts to determine the materials that are 

microwave safe and follow instructions from the container 

manufacturer.

Plastic cookware designed for microwave cooking should be used 

carefully. Some plastic containers advertised as  “microwave safe” plastic 

containers may not be as tolerant of overcooking conditions like their 

glass or ceramic counterparts. These containers may soften or char if 

subjected to short periods of overcooking. In longer exposures to 

overcooking, the food and cookware may ignite.

• Use ”microwave-safe” plastics only in strict compliance with the

recommendations provided by the cookware manufacturer.

• DO NOT microwave empty cups or containers.

• DO NOT permit children to use plastic cookware unsupervised

MATERIALS YOU CAN USE IN A MICROWAVE / COOKWARE

It is not required to buy all new cookware after purchasing your micro-

wave oven. 

Many of the cookware pieces you already own can be used successfully 

in your new power convection microwave oven.
