MICROWAVING TIPS

● 

Make 

sure all cookware used in your microwave

● 

Paper towels, waxed paper and plastic wrap

oven is suitable for microwaving.  Most glass

can be used to cover dishes in order to retain

casseroles, cooking dishes, measuring cups, custard

moisture and prevent spattering. Be sure to vent

cups, pottery or china dinnerware which does not

plastic wrap so steam can escape.

 

 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 one cup

● 

Some microwaved foods require stirring,

rotating or rearranging.  Check the Cooking Guide.

● 

Steam builds up pressure in foods which are

tightly covered by a skin or membrane. Pierce
potatoes, egg yolks and chicken livers to prevent
bursting.

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

water—set the 

 cup either in or next to the

dish. Microwave 1 minute 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.
