MATERIALS TO BE AVOIDED IN MICROWAVE
MATERIALS YOU CAN USE IN MICROWAVE
Arcing is sparks or electric flashes that crackle or pop. Arcing can produce heat that is quite intense
and can damage the interior of the microwave or containers being used in the microwave. It can also
cause fire.
Arcing occurs when certain metals are used in the microwave. To prevent arcing, use the charts below to
determine which materials are microwave safe, or follow instructions from container/wrap manufacturer.
Plastic cookware should be used carefully. Even microwave-safe plastic may not be as tolerant of
overcooking conditions as are glass or ceramic materials and may soften or char if subjected to short
periods of overcooking.
In longer exposures to overcooking, the food and cookware could ignite.
Follow these guidelines:Use microwave-safe plastics only and use them in strict compliance with
the cookware manufacturer’s recommendations.
Do not microwave empty containers.
Do not permit children to use plastic cookware without complete supervision.
