Cooking Techniques
RECOMMENDED
Microwave browning dish — Use to
brown the exterior of small items such as
steaks, chops, or pancakes. Follow the
directions provided with your browning
dish.
Microwaveable plastic wrap — Use to
retain steam. Leave a small opening for
some steam to escape and avoid placing
it directly on the food.
Paper towels and napkins — Use for
short-term heating and covering; these
absorb excess moisture and prevent
spattering. Do not use recycled paper
towels, which may contain metal and
could ignite.
Glass and glass-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, which may contain
metal and could ignite.
Wax paper — Use as a cover to prevent
spattering.
Thermometers — Use only those
labeled "Microwave Safe" and follow all
directions. Check the food in several
places. Conventional thermometers may
be used on microwave food once the
food has been removed from the oven.

LIMITED USE
Aluminum foil — Use narrow strips of
foil to prevent overcooking of exposed
areas. Using too much foil can damage
your oven, so be careful. You should keep
distance of 1 inch (25.4mm) between
aluminum foil and cavity.
Ceramic, porcelain, and stoneware —
Use these if they are labeled "Microwave
Safe". If they are not labeled, test them to
make sure they can be used safely.
Plastic — Use only if labeled "Microwave
Safe". Other plastics can melt.
Not Recommended
Glass jars and bottles — Regular glass is too
thin to be used in a microwave. It can shatter and
cause damage and injury.
Paper bags — These are a fire hazard,
except for popcorn bags that are
designed for microwave use.
Styrofoam plates and cups — These can
melt and leave an unhealthy residue on
food.
Plastic storage and food containers
— Containers such as margarine tubs
can melt in the microwave.
Metal utensils — These can damage
your oven. Remove all metal before
cooking.
NOTE: 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 becomes
very hot should not be used.
