Microwave utensil guide

Use
• Oven proof glass (specifically
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 must be rated as microwave-
safe.
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. Use plastic
dishes, cups, semi-rigid freezer
containers and plastic bags for short
cooking times. Use these with care
because the plastic may soften from
the heat of the food. Look for the
manufacturer's label for any special
instructions for use in the microwave
oven.
• Paper:
Paper towels, waxed paper, paper
napkins and paper plates with no
metallic trim or design. Look for the
manufacturer's label for any special
instructions for use in the microwave
oven.

• 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:
Bowls, cups, serving plates and platters with metallic trim.
• Aluminum foil:
Avoid aluminum foil.
• Wood:
Wooden bowls and boards will dry out and may split or crack when you use
them in the microwave oven. Baskets made of wood will react in the same
way.
• Tightly covered utensils:
Be sure to leave openings for steam to escape from covered cookware.
Pierce plastic pouches of vegetables or other food items before cooking.
Tightly closed pouches may explode. Look for the manufacturer's label for
any special instructions for use in the microwave oven.
• Brown paper:
Avoid using brown paper bags. They absorb heat and can burn.
• Flawed or chipped cooking 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.
Do not use
