tray.

metallic

glass

non-microwave-safe plastics (margarine tubs)

recycled paper products

Should you wish to check if a dish is safe for micro-
waving, place the empty dish in the microwave oven
and microwave on HIGH for 30 seconds. A dish which
becomes very hot should not be used.
The following coverings are suitable for microwave
use:
•
Paper towels are good for covering foods for re-
heating and absorbing fat while cooking bacon.
•
Wax paper can be used for cooking and reheat-
ing.
•
Plastic wrap that is specially marked for micro-
wave use can be used for cooking and reheating.
DO NOT allow plastic wrap to touch food. Vent so
steam can escape.
•
Lids that are microwave-safe are a good choice
because heat is kept near the food to hasten
cooking.
•
Oven cooking bags are good for large meats or
foods that need tenderizing. DO NOT use met-
al twist ties. Remember to slit bag so steam can
escape.
Additional Accessories
There are many microwave accessories available for
purchase. Evaluate carefully before you purchase so
that they meet your needs. A microwave-safe ther-
mometer will assist you in determining correct done-
ness and assure you that foods have been cooked to
safe temperatures.
