COOKWARE
n Make sure all cookware used in your drawer microwave 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."
n If you use a meat thermometer while cooking, make sure it
is safe for use in microwave ovens.
n 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 floor of the oven or
ignite a paper towel.
n Not all plastic wrap is suitable for use in microwave ovens.
Check the package for proper use.
n 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.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
n Be careful when opening containers of hot food. Use
potholders and direct steam away from face and hands.
n Vent, pierce, or slit containers, pouches, or plastic bags to
prevent build-up of pressure.
n Plastic cookware—Plastic cookware designed for
microwave cooking is very useful, but 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:
