• dishes with metallic trim
• non-heat-resistant glass
• non-microwave-safe plastics (margarine tubs)
• recycled paper products
• brown paper bags
• food storage bags
• metal twist-ties
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 be-
comes 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 DrawerMicro Oven:
• Small fla 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
DrawerMicro Oven.
Should you have questions about utensils or coverings, check a good micro-
wave cookbook or follow recipe suggestions.
acceSSorieS There are many microwave accessories available for purchase.
Evaluate carefully before you purchase so that they meet your needs. A mi-
crowave-safe thermometer will assist you in determining correct doneness
and assure you that foods have been cooked to safe temperatures. Viking is
not responsible for any damage to the DrawerMicro Oven when accessories
are used.
