Microwave-safe
Utensils
Never use metal or metal trimmed utensils in your
microwave oven
Microwaves cannot penetrate metal. They will bounce off any metal object in the
oven and cause arcing, an alarming phenomenon that resembles lightning.
Most heat resistant non metallic cooking utensils are safe for use in your microwave
oven. However, some may contain materials that render them unsuitable as
microwave cookwares. 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.
Place the utensil in question next to a glass bowl filled with water in the microwave
oven. Microwave at power HIGH for 1 minute. If the water heats up but the utensil
remains cool to the touch, the utensil is microwave-safe. However, if the water does
not change temperature but the utensil becomes warm, microwaves are being
absorbed by the utensil and it is not safe for use in the microwave oven. You
probably have many cookwares in your kitchen that can be used in your microwave
oven. Read through the following checklist to find out what utensils can be used in your
oven.
Dinner plates
Many kinds of dinner-ware are microwave-safe. If in doubt consult the
manufacturer’s literature or perform the microwave test.
Glassware
Glassware that is heat-resistant is microwave-safe. This would include all brands of
oven tempered glass cookware. However, do not use delicate glassware, such as
tumblers or wine glasses, as these might shatter as the food warms.
Plastic storage containers
These can be used to hold foods that are to be reheated quickly. However, they
should not be used to hold foods that will need considerable time in the oven as hot
foods will eventually warp or melt the plastic containers.
Paper
Paper plates and containers are convenient and safe to use in your microwave oven,
provided that the cooking time is short and foods to be cooked are low in fat and
moisture. Paper towels are also very useful for wrapping foods and for lining baking
trays in which greasy foods such as bacon are cooked. In general, avoid colored
paper products as the colour may run. Some recycled paper products may contain
impurities which can cause arcing or fires when used in the microwave oven.
Plastic cooking bags
Only use cooking bags that are especially made for microwave cooking. However,
be sure to make a slit in the bag so that steam can escape. Never use ordinary plastic
bags for cooking in your microwave oven, as they will melt and rupture.
Plastic microwave cookware
A variety of shapes and sizes of microwave cookware are available in the market.
You probably may have these items in your kitchen and hence, no need to invest in
new cookwares.
Pottery, stoneware and ceramic
Containers made of these materials are usually fine for use in your microwave oven,
but they should be tested to be sure.
CAUTION
Some items with high lead or iron content are not suitable for cooking
utensils.
Utensils should be checked to ensure that they are suitable for use in
microwave ovens.
