BEFORE USING MICROWAVE

About Utensils and Coverings

It is not necessary to buy all new cookware. Many
pieces already in your kitchen can be used suc-
cessfully in your new microwave oven. Make sure
the utensil does not touch the interior walls during
cooking.

Use these utensils for safe microwave cooking and
reheating:

•

glass ceramic (Pyroceram®), such as Corning-
ware®

•

heat-resistant glass (Pyrex®)

• microwave-safe

plastics

• paper

plates

•

microwave-safe pottery, stoneware and porce-
lain

•

browning dish (Do not exceed recommended
preheating time. Follow manufacturer’s direc-
tions.)

These items can be used for short-time reheating
of foods that have little fat or sugar in them:

•

wood, straw, wicker

DO NOT USE

•

metal pans and bakeware

•

dishes with metallic trim

• non-heat-resistant

glass

•

non-microwave-safe plastics (margarine tubs)

•

recycled paper products

•

brown paper bags

•

food storage bags

• metal

twist-ties

• styrofoam

Should you wish to check if a dish is safe for mi-

twist ties. Remember to slit bag so steam can
escape.

Accessories

There are many microwave accessories available
for purchase. Evaluate carefully before you pur-
chase so that they meet your needs. A micro-
wave-safe thermometer will assist you in determin-
ing correct doneness and assure you that foods
have been cooked to safe temperatures.

The manufacturer is not responsible for any dam-
age to the microwave oven when accessories are
used.

crowaving, place the empty dish in the microwave
oven and microwave on HIGH for 30 seconds. A
dish which becomes very hot should not be used.

The following coverings are suitable for microwave
use:

•

Paper towels are good for covering foods for
reheating and absorbing fat while cooking ba-
con.

•

Wax paper can be used for cooking and reheat-
ing.

•

Plastic wrap that is specially marked for micro-
wave use can be used for cooking and reheat-
ing. DO NOT allow plastic wrap to touch food.
Vent so steam can escape.

•

Lids that are microwave-safe are a good choice
because heat is kept near the food to hasten
