IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION.
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING.
MICROWAVE-SAFE COOKWARE
n
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 .”
n
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 of water—set the
measuring 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 .
n
if you use a meat thermometer while cooking, make sure it
is safe for use in microwave ovens .
n
do not use recycled paper 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 .
n
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 .
n
do not use the microwave to dry newspapers .
n
Not all plastic wrap is suitable for use in microwave ovens .
Check the package for proper use .
n
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 .
n
Cookware may become hot because of heat transferred
from the heated food . Pot holders may be needed to
handle the cookware .
n
“boilable” cooking pouches and tightly closed plastic
bags should be slit, pierced or vented as directed by
package . if they are not, plastic could burst during or
immediately after cooking, possibly resulting in injury .
Also, plastic storage containers should be at least partially
uncovered because they form a tight seal . When cooking
with containers tightly covered with plastic wrap, remove
covering carefully and direct steam away from hands and
face .
n
use foil only as directed in this guide . Tv dinners may be
microwaved in foil trays less than 3/4" high; remove the
top foil cover and return the tray to the box . When using
foil in the microwave oven, keep the foil at least 1" away
from the sides of the oven .
n
Plastic cookware—Plastic cookware designed for
microwave cooking is very useful, but 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:
1
use microwave-safe plastics only and use them in
strict compliance with the cookware manufacturer’s
recommendations .
2
do not microwave empty containers .
3
do not permit children to use plastic cookware
without complete supervision .
