MICROWAVE-SAFE COOKWARE
Do not operate the oven in the microwave mode without the turntable and the
turntable support seated and in place. The turntable must be unrestricted so it
can rotate. Make sure all cookware used in your microwave oven is suitable for
microwaving. Most glass casseroles, cooking dishes, measuring cups, custard cups,
pottery or china dinnerware which does not have metallic trim or glaze with a
metallic sheen can be used. Some cookware is labeled “suitable for microwaving.”
If you are not sure if
a dish is
microwave-safe,
use this test: Place
in the oven both the
dish you are testing
and a glass
measuring cup lled
with 1 cup (240 mL)
of water―set the measuring cup either in or
next to the dish. Microwave 30–45 seconds
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.
Oversized food or oversized metal cookware
should not be used in a microwave/
convection oven because they increase the
risk of electric shock and could cause a re.
Sometimes the oven oor, turntable and walls
can become too hot to touch. Be careful
touching the oor, turntable and walls during
and after cooking.
If you use a meat thermometer while
microwaving, 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 ecks which may cause arcing
or ignite. Paper products containing nylon or
nylon laments should be avoided, as they
may also ignite.
Some foam 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 oor of the oven or
ignite a paper towel.
Do not use your microwave oven to dry
newspapers.
Not all plastic wrap is suitable for use in
microwave ovens. Check the package for
proper use.
Paper towels, waxed paper and plastic wrap
can be used to cover dishes in order to
retain moisture and prevent spattering while
microwaving. Be sure to vent plastic wrap so
steam can escape.
Cookware may become hot because of heat
transferred from the heated food. Pot holders
may be needed to handle the cookware.
When microwaving “boilable” cooking
pouches and tightly closed plastic bags, they
should be slit, pierced or vented as directed
by package. If they are not, plastic could
burst during or immediately after cooking,
possibly resulting in injury. Also, plastic
storage containers should be at least partially
uncovered because they form a tight seal.
When cooking with containers tightly covered
with plastic wrap, remove covering carefully
and direct steam away from hands and face.
