too much foil can damage your oven, so be careful. You should keep a distance of 1 inch
(2.54cm) between aluminum foil and cavity or oven walls.
• Ceramic, porcelain, and stoneware— Use these if they are labeled as "Microwave Safe."
• Plastic — Use only if labeled "Microwave Safe." Other plastics can melt.
• Thermometers — Use only those labeled as "Microwave Safe" and follow all directions.
Check the food temperature in several places.
NOT RECOMMENDED

and cause damage or 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.

microwave and/or leave an unhealthy residue on food.
