Should you wish to check if a dish is safe for microwaving, place the
empty dish in the oven and microwave on HIGH for 30 seconds. A dish
which becomes very hot should not be used.
The following coverings are ideal:
Paper towels are good for covering foods for reheating and UÊ
absorbing fat while cooking bacon.
Wax paper can be used for cooking and reheating.UÊ
Plastic wrap that is specially marked for microwave use can be UÊ
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 UÊ
kept near the food to hasten cooking.
Oven cooking bags are good for large meats or foods that UÊ
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 UÊ
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 UÊ
microwave oven.
Should you have questions about utensils or coverings, check a good
microwave cookbook or follow recipe suggestions.
