BEFORE USING MICROWAVE OVEN
About Utensils and Coverings
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.
Use these utensils for safe microwave cooking and
reheating:
• glass ceramic (Pyroceram®), such as Corningware®
• heat-resistant glass (Pyrex®)
• microwave-safe plastics
• paper plates
• microwave-safe pottery, stoneware and porcelain
• 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
• metal pans and bakeware
• 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-ties
• styrofoam
Should you wish to check if a dish is safe for microwaving,
place the empty dish in the microwave oven and microwave
on HIGH for 30 seconds. A dish which becomes very hot
should not be used.
The following coverings are suitable for microwave use:
• 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.
Accessories
There are many microwave accessories available 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 temperatures.
The manufacturer is not responsible for any damage to the
microwave oven when accessories are used.
