COOKING UTENSILS GUIDE

Certain utensils are inappropriate for use in a
microwave. See below for more information on
which utensils are recommended, which should only
have limited use and which are not recommended.
RECOMMENDED
Microwave Browning Dish: Used to brown the
exterior of small food items. Follow the directions
provided with the browning dish.
Microwavable Plastic Wrap: Used to retain steam.
Leave a small opening to avoid a build up of steam.
Do not place directly on food.
Glass and Ceramic Bowls and Dishes: Use for
heating or cooking.
Paper Plates and Cups: Use for short term heating
at low temperatures. Do not use recycled paper as
they can contain metal and could ignite.
Paper Towels and Napkins: Use for short term
heating and covering. They can absorb excess
moisture and prevent splattering. Do not use
recycled paper towels as they can contain metal
and could ignite.
Wax Paper: Use as a cover to prevent splattering.
Thermometers: Only use those that are labeled
"microwave safe" and follow all directions.
Check the food in several places. Conventional
thermometers can be used once the food has been
removed from the microwave.
LIMITED USE
Aluminum Foil: Use narrow strips to prevent
overcooking of exposed areas. Using too much foil
can cause arcing and damage the appliance. Keep
a distance of at least 1 inch (2.6 cm) between the
foil and the inside of the appliance.
Ceramic, Porcelain and Stoneware: Only use if
they are labeled "microwave safe".
Plastic: Only use if labeled "microwave safe".
NOT RECOMMENDED
Glass Jars and Bottles: Regular glass is too thin to
be used in a microwave. It can shatter and cause
damage or injury.
Paper Bags: These are a fi re hazard and could
ignite. The only exception is popcorn bags, which
are designed for microwave use.
Styrofoam Plates and Cups: These can melt and
leave an unhealthy residue on food.
Plastic Storage and Food Containers: These can
melt and ignite.
Metal Utensils: These can cause arcing and
damage to the appliance. Remove all metal before
operation.
Note: To check if a dish is safe for use in the
microwave, place the empty dish in the appliance
and microwave on high for 30 seconds. If the dish
becomes very hot, it should not be used.
