The following coverings are ideal:
• Paper towels are good for covering
foods for reheating and absorbing fat
while cooking bacon.
• Wax paper can be used for cooking and
reheating.
• Plastic wrap that is specially marked for
microwave use can be used for cooking
and reheating. Do not allow plastic wrap
to touch food. Vent so steam can escape.
• Lids that are microwave-safe are a good
choice because heat is kept near the

any damage to the microwave oven when
accessories are used.
