Cooking Instructions
Limited Use
•
Aluminum foil — Use narrow strips of foil to prevent overcooking of
exposed areas. Using too much foil can damage your oven, so be
careful.
•
Ceramic, porcelain, and stoneware — Use these if they are labeled
“Microwave Safe.” If they are not labeled, test them to make sure they
can be used safely. Never use dishes with metallic trim.
•
Plastic — Use only if labeled “Microwave Safe.” Other plastics can melt.
•
Straw, wicker, and wood — Use only for short-term heating, as they
can be flammable.
Metal utensils — These can damage your oven. Remove all metal before
cooking.
Not Recommended
•
Glass jars and bottles — Regular glass is too thin to be used in a
microwave, and can shatter.
•
Paper bags — These are a fire hazard, except for popcorn bags that are
designed for microwave use.
•
Styrofoam plates and cups — These can melt and leave an
unhealthy residue on food.
•
Plastic storage and food containers — Containers such as
margarine tubs can melt in the microwave.
Testing Utensils
If you are not sure whether a dish is microwave-safe or not, you can perform
this test:
1
Fill one measuring cup with water and put it inside your oven, next to
the dish you want to test.
2
Press the One Minute+ button once to heat them for one minute at
High power.
The water should be warm and the dish you are testing should be cool. If the
dish is warm, then it is absorbing microwave energy and is not acceptable
for use in the microwave.
