■
"Boilable" cooking pouches
and tightly closed plastic bags
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.
■
Use foil only as directed in
this guide. TV dinners may be
microwaved in foil trays less
than 3/4?(1.9 cm) high;
remove the top foil cover and
return the tray to the box.
When using foil in the
microwave oven, keep the foil
at least 1?(2.5 cm) away from
the sides of the oven.

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:
Use microwave-safe
1
plastics only and use
them in strict compliance
with the cookware
manufacturer's
recommendations.
Do not microwave empty
2
containers.
Do not permit children
3
to use plastic cookware
without complete
supervision.
