MICROWAVE UTENSIL GUIDE
Use
OVENPROOF GLASS
(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.
As the food heats it may melt
the plastic wrap wherever the
wrap touches the food.
Use plastic dishes, cups,
semirigid freezer containers
and plastic bags
only for
short cooking time. Use
these with care because
the plastic may soften from
the heat of the food.
PAPER:
Paper towels, waxed paper,
paper napkins, and paper
plates with no metallic trim or
design. Look for the
manufacturer's label for use
in the microwave oven.
Do Not Use
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:
Metal-trimmed or metal-banded dinnerware, casserole dishes, etc. The
metal trim interferes with normal cooking and may damage the oven.
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 and door
of the oven.
WOOD:
Wooden bowls and boards will dry out and may split or crack when you
use them in the microwave oven. Baskets react in the same way.
TIGHTLY COVERED UTENSILS:
Be sure to leave openings for steam to escape from covered utensils.
Pierce plastic pouches of vegetables or other food items before cooking.
Tightly closed pouches could explode.
BROWN PAPER:
Avoid using brown paper bags.
They absorb too much heat and could burn.
FLAWED OR CHIPPED 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.
