IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION

MICROWAVE-SAFE
COOKWARE

Make sure all cookware used
in your microwave oven is suit-
able for microwaving. Most
glass casseroles, cooking dish-
es, measuring cups, custard
cups, pottery or china dinner-
ware which do not have metal-
lic trim or glaze with a metallic
sheen can be used. Some
cookware is labeled “suitable
for microwaving.”

• If you use a meat thermome-

ter while cooking, make sure
it is safe for use in microwave
ovens.

• Do not use recycled paper

products. Recycled paper
towels, napkins and waxed
paper can contain metal
flecks which may cause arc-
ing or ignite. Paper products
containing nylon or nylon fila
ment should be avoided, as
they may also ignite.

• Not all plastic wrap is suitable

for use in microwave ovens.
Check the package for proper
use.

• Some styrofoam trays (like

those that meat is packaged
on) have a thin strip of metal
embedded in the bottom.

When microwaved, the metal

can burn the floor of the oven
or ignite a paper towel.

• Cookware may become hot

because of heat transferred
from the heated food. Pot
holders may be needed to
handle the cookware.

• “Boilable” cooking pouches

and tightly closed plastic
bags should be slit, pierced
or vented as directed by
package. If they are not, plas-
tic could burst during or
immediately after cooking,
possibly resulting in injury.
Also, plastic storage contain-
ers should be at least partial-
ly uncovered because they
form a tight seal. When cook-
ing with containers tightly
covered with plastic wrap,
remove covering carefully
and direct steam away from
hands and face.

• Paper towels, waxed paper

and plastic wrap can be used
to cover dishes in order to
retain moisture and prevent
spattering. Be sure to vent
plastic wrap so steam can
escape.

How to test for a microwave-
safe dish:

1 Place in the oven both the

dish you are testing and a
glass measuring cup filled
with 1 cup of water

2 Set the measuring cup either

in or next to the dish.

3 Microwave 1 minute at high.

If the dish heats, it should not
be used for microwaving. If
the dish remains cool and
only the water in the cup
heats, then the dish is
microwave-safe.
