UNDERSTANDING YOUR MICROWAVE OVEN

COOKWARE GUIDE

Most heat-resistant, non-metalllc cookware is safe for use in your microwave oven. However, to test cookware
before using, follow these steps:

1. Place the empty cookware in the microwave oven.

2. Measure 1 cup of water in a glass measuring cup and place it in the oven beside the cookware.
3. Microwave on 100% power for 1 minute. If the dish is warm, it should not be used for microwave cooking.

USE

DO NOT USE

Ovenproof Glass

• Glass treated for use in high-intensity heat

includes utility dishes, bread dishes, pie plates, cake
plates, liquid measuring cups, casseroles, and bowls

without metallic trim.

China

• Bowls, cups, serving plates, and platters without

metallic trim can be used in your oven.

Plastic

• When using plastic wrap as a cover, make sure that

the dish is deep enough so the plastic wrap does not
touch the food. As the food heats, it may melt the

plastic wrap wherever the wrap touches the food.

• Place plastic wrap loosely over the top of the dish

and secure it by pressing the wrap to the sides of

the dish.

• Vent by turning back one corner of the plastic wrap.

This will allow excess steam to escape.

• Use plastic dishes, cups, semi-rigid freezer

containers, and plastic bags only for short time
cooking. Use these with care because the
plastic may soften from the heat of the food.

Paper

• Microwave-safe paper towels, waxed paper, paper

napkins, and paper plates with no metallic trim or
design can be used in your oven.

• Refer to the manufacturer’s label for use of any

paper product in the microwave oven.

Metal Utensil

• Metal shields food from microwave energy and

produces uneven cooking. Avoid metal skewers,

thermometers, or foil trays.

• Metal utensils can cause arcing, which is a

discharge of electric current. Arcing can damage

your microwave oven.

Metal Decoration

• Do not use metal-trimmed or metal-banded

dinnerware, casserole dishes, etc.

Centura^“ Tableware

• The Corning Company recommends that you

do not use Centura tableware and some Corelle"^

closed-handle cups for microwave cooking.

Aluminum Foil

• Do not use large sheets of aluminum foil because

they hinder cooking and may cause arcing.You may

use small pieces of foil to shield poultry legs and

wings.

• Keep all aluminum foil at least 1 inch from the walls

and door of the oven.

Wood

• Wooden bowls, boards, and baskets will dry out and

may split or crack when you use them in the
microwave oven.

Tightly Closed Containers

• Tightly closed cookware can explode. Be sure

to leave an opening for steam to escape from

covered cookware.

Brown Paper

• Do not use brown paper bags. They absorb

heat and could burn.

Metal Twist Ties

• Always remove metal twist ties as they can become

hot and cause a fire.
