Microwave utensil guide
Use
• Oven proof alass (specifically treated for
high intensity heat):
Utility dishes, loaf dishes, pie plates, cake
plates, liquid measuring cups, casseroles and
bowls without metallic trim.
• China:
Bowls, cups, serving plates and platters without
metallic trim.
• Plastic:
Plastic must be rated as microwave-safe.
Plastic wrap (as a cover) - lay the plastic wrap
loosely over the dish and press it to the sides.
Vent plastic wrap by turning back one edge
slightly to allow excess steam to escape. The
dish should be deep enough so that the plastic
wrap will not touch the food. Use plastic dishes,
cups, semi-rigid freezer containers and plastic
bags for short cooking times. Use these with
care because the plastic may soften from the
heat of the food.
Look for the manufacturer's label for any
special instructions for use in the microwave
oven.

• Paper:
Paper towels, waxed paper, paper napkins and
paper plates with no metallic trim or design.
Look for the manufacturer's label for any
special instructions for use in the microwave
oven.
Do not use
• Metal utensils:
Metal shields the food from microwave energy
and produces uneven cooking. Also, avoid metal
skewers, thermometers or foil trays. Metal
utensils can cause arcing, which can damage
your microwave oven.
• Metal decoration:
Bowls, cups, serving plates and platters with
metallic trim.
• Aluminum foil:
Avoid aluminum foil.
• Wood:
Wooden bowls and boards will dry out and
may split or crack when you use them in the
microwave oven. Baskets made of wood will
react in the same way.
• Tiahtly covered utensils:
Be sure to leave openings for steam to escape
from covered cookware.
Pierce plastic pouches of vegetables or other
food items before cooking. Tightly closed
pouches may explode.
Look for the manufacturer's label for any
special instructions for use in the microwave
oven.
• Brown paper:
Avoid using brown paper bags. They absorb
heat and can burn.
• Flawed or chipped cooking utensils:
Any utensil that is cracked, flawed or chipped
may break in the oven.
• Metal twist ties:
Remove metal twist ties from plastic or paper
bags. They become hot and could cause a fire.
