Make sure all cookware used in
your microwave oven is suitable for
microwaving. Most glass casseroles,
cooking dishes, measuring cups,
custard cups, pottery or china
dinnerware which does not have
metallic trim or glaze with a metallic
sheen can be used. Some cookware
is labeled “suitable for microwaving.”
„
If you are not sure if a dish is
microwave-safe, use this test:
Place in the oven both the dish
you are testing and a glass
measuring cup filled with 1 cup

cup either in or next to the dish.
Microwave 30–45 seconds at
high. If the dish heats, it should
not be used for microwaving.
If the dish remains cool and only
the water in the cup heats, then
the dish is microwave-safe.

If you use a meat thermometer
while cooking, make sure it is
safe for use in microwave ovens.

products. Recycled paper towels,
napkins and waxed paper can
contain metal flecks which may
cause arcing or ignite. Paper
products containing nylon
or nylon filaments should be
avoided, as they may also ignite.
„
Some styrofoam trays (like those
that meat is packaged on) have
a thin strip of metal embedded in
the bottom. When microwaved,
the metal can burn the floor of
the oven or ignite a paper towel.

newspapers.

Not all plastic wrap is suitable for
use in microwave ovens. Check
the package for proper use.
„
Paper towels, waxed paper and
plastic wrap can be used to cover
dishes in order to retain moisture
and prevent spattering. Be sure
to vent plastic wrap so steam can
escape.
„
Cookware may become hot
because of heat transferred from
the heated food. Pot holders
may be needed to handle the
cookware.
