MATERIALS TO BE AVOIDED IN MICROWAVE

Arcing occurs when certain metals are used in 

the microwave. To prevent arcing, use the charts 

below to determine which materials are microwave 

safe, or follow instructions from container/wrap 

manufacturer.
Plastic cookware should be used carefully. Even 

microwave-safe plastic may not be as tolerant of 

overcooking conditions as are glass or ceramic 

materials and may soften or char if subjected to 

short periods of overcooking.
In longer exposures to overcooking, the food and 

cookware could ignite.

Follow these guidelines:

Use microwave-

safe plastics only and use them in strict 

compliance with the cookware manufacturer’s 

recommendations.
Do not microwave empty containers.

Do not permit children to use plastic cookware 

without complete supervision.
