It is not necessary to buy all new cookware.
Many pieces already in your kitchen can be
used successfully in your new microwave
oven. Make sure the utensil does not touch
the interior walls during cooking.
For further reference about utensils or cover-
ings, check a good microwave cookbook or
follow recipe suggestions.
Use these utensils for safe microwave
cooking and reheating:
glass ceramic
heat-resistant glass
microwave-safe pottery, stoneware and
porcelain
microwave-safe plastics
paper plates
browning dish (Do not exceed recommended
preheating time. Follow manufacturer’s
directions.)
These items can be used for short time
reheating of foods that have little fat or
sugar in them:
wood, straw, wicker
DO NOT USE:
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
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.
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 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
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.

There are many microwave accessories avail-
able for purchase. Evaluate carefully before
you purchase so that they meet your needs. A
microwave-safe thermometer will assist you in
determining correct doneness and assure you
that foods have been cooked to safe tempera-
tures. Wolf is not responsible for any damage
to the oven when accessories are used.
