MICROWAVE-SAFE COOKWARE
Make sure any cookware used in your microwave oven is labeled “microwave-safe” or suitable for
microwave cooking. Most glass casserole dishes, measuring cups and china dinnerware which do not have
a metallic trim sheen can be used.
If you use a meat thermometer while cooking, make sure it is safe for use in microwave ovens.
Do not use recycled paper products. Recycled paper towels, napkins and waxed paper can contain
metal flecks which may cause arcing or ignition. Paper products containing nylon or nylon filaments
should be avoided as well, as they may also ignite.
Not all plastic wrap is suitable for use in microwave ovens. Check the package for proper use.
Some styrofoam trays (like those used for meat packaging) have a thin strip of metal embedded in
the bottom. When microwaved, the metal can burn the floor of the microwave oven or ignite other
parts of it.
Cookware may become hot because of heat transferred from the heated food. Pot holders are
recommended for handling cookware.
“Boilable” cooking pouches and tightly closed plastic bags should be slit, pierced or vented, as
directed on most packages. If they are not, plastic could burst during or immediately after cooking,
resulting in possible injury. Also, plastic storage containers should be at least partially uncovered to
avoid pressure build-up. When cooking with containers tightly covered with plastic wrap, remove
covering carefully and direct steam away from hands and face.
Paper towels, waxed paper and plastic wrap can be used to cover dishes to retain moisture and
prevent splattering. Be sure to leave a vent to allow steam to escape.
