MICROWAVE-SAFE UTENSILS
Never use metal or metal-trimmed utensils in
your microwave oven. Microwaves cannot
penetrate metal. They will bounce off metal
objects in the oven and cause "arcing", which
resembles lightning. Most heat-resistant,
nonmetallic cooking utensils are safe for use in
your microwave oven. However, some may
contain materials that render them unsuitable for
microwave cooking. If you have any doubts
about a particular utensil, there's a simple way to
find out if it can be used in your microwave oven.
Testing Utensils for Microwave Use:
Place the utensil in question next to a glass
measure filled with water, in the microwave
oven. Microwave at (Power Level 10) for 1-2
minutes. If the water heats up, but the utensil
remains cool, the utensil is microwave-safe.
However, if the utensil becomes warm,
microwaves are being absorbed by the utensil
and it should not be used in the microwave
oven.
You probably have many items on hand in your
kitchen right now that can be used as cooking
equipment in your microwave oven. Read
through the following checklist.
When popping a popcorn;
Place carefully bag does not touch oven walls.
Fold each end of the bag in half toward the
center top of the bag.
1. Dinner Plates:
Many kinds of tableware are microwave safe.
If in doubt, consult the manufacturer's
literature or perform the microwave dish test.
2. Glassware:
Some glassware that is heatresistant is
microwave-safe. This would include most
brands of oven-tempered glass cookware. Do
not, however, use delicate tumblers, wine
glasses, etc. in the oven, as they are likely to
shatter.
3. Paper:
Paper plates and containers without wax
coatings are convenient and safe to use in your
microwave oven, for short cooking times. Paper
towels are also very useful for absorbing
moisture and grease. In general, use white
paper products.
4. Plastic Storage Containers:
These can be used to hold foods that are to
be quickly reheated. However, they should not
be used to heat foods that will need
considerable time in the oven, as hot foods
will eventually warp or melt the container.
5. Cooking Bags:
Cooking bags are microwave safe. However,
be sure to make a slit in the bag so that
steam can escape. Substitute string for metal
twist ties.
6. Plastic Microwave Cookware:
A variety of cookware is available. Certain
special items such as plastic ring molds,
muffin pans, etc. are convenient. Check the
manufacturer's instructions.
7. Pottery, Stoneware and Ceramic:
Containers made of these materials are usually
fine for use in your microwave oven. They
should be checked by using the dish test.
