It is not necessary to buy all new cookware.
Many pieces already in your kitchen can be
used successfully in your new convection
microwave oven. Make sure the utensil does
not touch the interior walls during cooking.
Use these utensils for safe microwaving,
convection broiling, slow cooking, high
mix/roasting and low mix/baking:
glass ceramic
heat-resistant glass
microwave-safe pottery, stoneware
and porcelain
Use these utensils for safe microwave
cooking and reheating:
microwave-safe plastics
paper plates
browning dish (Do not exceed recommended
preheating time. Follow manufacturer’s
directions.)
These items can be used in microwave-only
mode for short time reheating of foods that
have little fat or sugar in them:
wood, straw, wicker
DO NOT USE in microwave-only mode:
dishes with metallic trim
non-heat-resistant glass
non-microwave-safe plastics
(margarine tubs)
recycled paper products
brown paper bags
food storage bags
metal twist-tie
metal pans and bakeware
The following coverings are ideal in
microwave only mode:
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 food to
hasten cooking.
Oven cooking bags are good for large
meats or foods that need tenderizing. DO
NOT use metal twist ties. Remember to slit
bag so steam can escape.
How to use aluminum foil in your
convection microwave oven:
Small flat pieces of aluminum foil placed
smoothly on the food can be used to shield
areas that are either defrosting or cooking
too quickly.
Foil should not come closer than one inch
to any surface of the oven.
IMPORTANT NOTE: To check if a dish is safe
for microwaving, place the empty dish in the
oven and microwave on HIGH for 30 seconds.
Carefully test the plate and if a dish becomes
very hot, DO NOT use it for microwaving.
