MICROWAVE UTENSIL GUIDE
Use
OVENPROOF 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 time. 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.
