COOKING UTENSILS
Recommended use
•
Glass and glass-ceramic bowls and dishes
- Use for heating or
cooking.
•
Microwavable browning dish
- Use to brown the exterior of small items
such as steaks, chops, or pancakes. Follow the directions provided with
your browning dish.
•
Microwavable plastic wrap
- Use to retain steam. Leave a small
opening for some steam to escape and avoid placing it directly on the
food.
•
Wax paper
- Use as a cover to prevent spattering.
•
Paper towels and napkins
- Use for short-term heating and covering;
they absorb excess moisture and prevent spattering. Do not use
recycled paper towels, which may contain metal and can catch fire.
•
Paper plates and cups
- Use for short-term heating at low
temperatures. Do not use recycled paper, which may contain metal and
can catch fire.
•
Thermometers
- Use only those labeled “Microwave Safe” and follow all
directions. Check the food in several places. Conventional thermometers
may be used once the food has been removed from the oven.
Limited use
•
Aluminum foil
- Use narrow strips of foil to prevent overcooking of
exposed areas. Using too much foil can damage your oven, so be
careful.
•
Ceramic, porcelain, and stoneware
- Use these if they are labeled
“Microwave Safe”. If they are not labeled, test them to make sure they
can be used safely. Never use dishes with metallic trim.
•
Plastic
- Use only if labeled “Microwave Safe”. Other plastics can melt.
•
Straw, wicker and wood
- Use only for short-term heating, as they can
be flammable.
