Cooking utensils

Microwave utensil guide

USE
OVEN PROOF GLASS (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 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 . As the
food heats it may melt the
plastic wrap wherever the wrap
touches the food .
Use plastic dishes, cups,
semirigid freezer containers
and plastic bags only for short
cooking times .
Use these with care because
the plastic may soften from the
heat of the food .
PAPER:
Paper towels, waxed paper,
paper napkins, and paper
plates with no metallic trim
or design . Look for the
manufacturer's label 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:
Metal-trimmed or metal-banded dinnerware,
casserole dishes, etc . The metal trim interferes with
normal cooking and may damage the oven .
ALUMINUM FOIL:
Avoid large sheets of aluminum foil because they
hinder cooking and may cause harmful arcing . Use
small pieces of foil to shield poultry legs and wings .
Keep ALL aluminum foil at least 1 inch from the side
walls and door of the oven .
WOOD:
Wooden bowls and boards will dry out and may split
or crack when you use them in the microwave oven .
Baskets react in the same way .
TIGHTLY COVERED UTENSILS:
Be sure to leave openings for steam to escape from
covered utensils .
Pierce plastic pouches of vegetables or other food
items before cooking .
Tightly closed pouches could explode .
BROWN PAPER:
Avoid using brown paper bags .
They absorb too much heat and could burn .
FLAWED OR CHIPPED 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
