utensils guide

This section lists which utensils can be used in the microwave, which
ones have limited use for short periods, and which ones should not
be used in the microwave.
Recommended
Microwave browning dish — Use to brown the exterior of small
items such as steaks, chops, or pancakes. Follow the directions pro-
vided 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 cov-
ering; these absorb excess moisture and prevent spattering. Do not
use recycled paper towels, which may contain metal and could ig-
nite.
Glass and glass-ceramic bowls and dishes — Use for heating or
cooking.
Paper plates and cups — Use for short-term heating at low tem-
peratures. 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 (2,54 cm) between alu-
minum foil and the cavity walls.
Ceramic, porcelain, and stoneware— Use these if they are la-
beled "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 un-
healthy residue on food.
