cookware guide
For food to cook in the microwave oven, the
microwaves must be able to penetrate the food
without being reflected or absorbed by the dish.
It is important to choose the correct cookware,
therefore, look for cookware that is marked
microwave-safe.
The following table lists various types of
cookware and indicates if and how they should
be used in a microwave oven.
MICROWAVE-SAFE UTENSILS
If you are not sure whether an item is microwave-safe or
not, you can perform the following simple test:
1. Place 1 cup of water (in a glass-measuring cup) inside
your oven next to the item to be tested.
2. Press the Add 30 Sec. button twice to heat them
both for one minute at high power.
After one minute, the water should be warm and the item
you are testing should be cool. If the dish is warm, then
it is absorbing microwave energy and is not microwave-
safe.
Cookware
Aluminum foil
Can be used in small quantities
to protect areas against
overcooking. Arcing can occur
if the foil is too close to the oven
wall or you use too much foil.
Browning
Do not preheat for more than
plate
eight minutes.
Ceramic,
Porcelain, pottery, glazed
porcelain,
earthenware and bone china are
