Microwave utensil guide
•
Oven proof glass (specifically
treated for high intensity heat):
Utility dishes, loaf dishes, pie plates,
cake plates, liquid measuring cups,
casseroles and bowls without metallic
trim.
•
China:
Bowls, cups, serving plates and
platters without metallic trim.
•
Plastic:
Plastic wrap (as a cover) - lay the
plastic wrap loosely over the dish and
press it to the sides. Vent plastic wrap
by turning back one edge slightly to
allow excess steam to escape. The
dish should be deep enough so that the
plastic wrap will not touch the food.
Use plastic dishes, cups, semi-rigid
freezer containers and plastic bags for
short cooking times. Use these with
care because the plastic may soften
from the heat of the food.
•
Paper:
Paper towls, waxed paper, paper
napkins and paper plates with no
metallic trim or design. Look for the
manufacturer’s label for any special
instructions for use in the microwave
oven.
•
Metal utensils:
Metal shields the food from microwave energy and produces uneven
cooking. Also, avoid metal skewers, thermometers or foil trays. Metal
utensils can cause arcing, which can damage your microwave oven.
•
Metal decoration:
Bowls, cups, serving plates and platters without metallic trim.
•
Aluminum foil:
Avoid large sheets of aluminum foil because they hinder cooking and
may cause harmful arcing. Use small pieces of foil to shield poultry
legs and wings. Keep ALL aluminum foil at least 1 inch from the side
walls of the oven cavity and door of the microwave.
•
Wood:
Wooden bowls and boards will dry out and may split or crack when
you use them in the microwave oven. Baskets made of wood will react
in the same way.
•
Tightly covered utensils:
Be sure to leave openings for steam to escape from covered
cookware. Pierce plastic pouches of vegetables or other food items
before cooking. Tightly closed pouches may explode.
•
Brown paper:
Avoid using brown paper bags. They absorb heat and can burn.
•
Flawed or chipped cooking utensils:
Any utensil that is cracked, flawed or chipped may break in the oven.
•
Metal twist ties:
Remove metal twist ties from plastic or paper bags. They become hot
and could cause a fire.
