Testing suitability of cookware
Utensils should be checked to ensure
they are suitable for use in Microwave
ovens.
Place the cookware in the microwave
heat on full power for one minute. if the
cookware feels hot, you should not use it.
if it is just slightly warm, you can use it for
reheating but not for cooking. if the dish
is room temperature, it is suitable for
microwave cooking.
Paper napkins, wax paper, paper towels,
plates, cups, cartons, freezer wrap
and cardboard are great convenience
utensils. always be sure containers are
filled with food to absorb energy and
thus avoid the possibility of overheating
or ignition.
Many plastic dishes, cups, freezer
containers and plastic wraps may be
used in the microwave oven. follow
manufacturer’s instructions when using
plastics in the oven. avoid using plastic
utensils with foods that have high fat or
sugar content since these foods reach
high temperatures and could melt some
plastics.
do not leave oven unattended, and look
at it from time to time when heating or
cooking food in plastic, paper or other
combustible containers.
