Should
you
wish
to
check
if
a
dish
is
safe
for
microwaving,
place
the
empty
dish
in
the
oven
and
microwave
on
HIGH
for
30
seconds.
A
dish
which
becomes
very
hot
should
not
be
used.
The
following
coverings
are
ideal:
Paper
towels
are
good
for
covering
foods
for
reheating
and
absorbing
fat
while
cooking
bacon.
Wax
paper
can
be
used
for
cooking
and
reheating.
Plastic
wrap
that
is
specially
marked
for
microwave
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
metal
twist
ties.
Remember
to
slit
bag
so
steam
can
escape.
How
to
use
aluminum
foil
in
your
microwave
oven:
Small
flat
pieces
of
aluminum
foil
placed
smoothly
on
the
food
can
be
used
to
shield
areas
that
are
either
defrosting
or
cooking
too
quickly.
Foil
should
not
come
closer
than
one
inch
to
any
surface
of
the
oven.
ACCESSORIES
There
are
many
microwave
accessories
available
for
purchase.
Evaluate
carefully
before
you
purchase
so
that
they
meet
your
needs.
A
microwave
‐
safe
thermometer
will
assist
you
in
determining
correct
doneness
and
assure
you
that
foods
have
been
cooked
to
safe
temperatures.

ABOUT
CHILDREN
AND
THE
MICROWAVE
Children
below
the
age
of
7
should
use
the
microwave
oven
with
a
supervising
person
very
near
to
them.
Between
the
ages
of
7
and
12,
the
supervising
person
should
be
in
the
same
room.
The
children
must
be
able
to
reach
the
oven
comfortably;
if
not,
he/she
should
stand
on
a
sturdy
stool.
At
no
time
should
anyone
be
allowed
to
lean
or
swing
on
the
oven
door.
Children
should
be
taught
all
safety
precautions;
use
potholders,
remove
coverings
carefully
and
pay
special
attention
to
packages
that
crisp
food
because
they
may
be
extra
hot.
Don’t
assume
that
because
a
child
has
mastered
one
cooking
skill
he/she
can
cook
everything.
