UTENSIL GUIDE
This section indicates which utensils may be used in the microwave, which may be used on a limited
basis for short periods of time, and which should not be used in the microwave at any time.
RECOMMENDED
Microwave browning tray: Use to brown the outside of small foods, such as steaks, chops or
pancakes. Follow the directions that come with the browning pan.
Plastic microwave wrap: Use to retain steam. Leave a small opening to allow some steam to escape
and prevent it from coming in direct contact with the food.
Absorbent paper and napkins: Use for short heating intervals and for covering. They absorb excess
moisture and prevent splashing. Do not use recycled absorbent paper as it may contain metal traces
and catch fire.
Glass or ceramic cups, bowls and plates: Use them for heating or cooking.
Paper plates and cups: Use for brief reheating at low temperatures. Do not use recycled paper as it
may contain metallic traces and may catch fire.
Waxed paper: Use it to cover and avoid splashes.
Thermometers: Use only those indicated as "microwave safe" and follow all instructions. Measure
food temperatures in several locations. Conventional thermometers may be used on microwaved
foods after they have been removed from the oven.
LIMITED USE
Aluminum foil: Use thin strips of aluminum foil to avoid overcooking exposed areas. Using too much
aluminum foil can damage the oven, so use with caution.
Ceramic, porcelain and stoneware: Use them if they say "microwave safe". If there is no indication,
test them to make sure they are safe to use.
Plastics: Use only if they say "microwave safe". Other plastics may melt.
Straw, wicker and wood: Use only for short heating intervals, e.g., to heat bread rolls for a few
seconds. Baskets and containers may be flammable.
NOT RECOMMENDED
Glass jars and bottles: ordinary glass is too thin to be used in a microwave oven. It can explode and
cause damage and injury.
Plastic bags: pose a fire hazard, except popcorn bags which are designed for microwave use.
Polystyrene plates and cups: may melt and leave harmful residues on food.
Plastic food and storage containers: containers such as margarine tubs may melt in the microwave.
Metal utensils: can damage your oven. Remove all metal parts before cooking.
Note: To check if a container is microwave safe, place the empty container in the oven and cook on
HIGH for 30 seconds. Containers that get too hot should not be used.
