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.
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.
