Microwave utensil guide
Use
Oven proof glass (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 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.
Paper:
Paper towls, 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.
Microwave Oven / User Manual
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 without
metallic trim.
Aluminum foil:
Avoid large sheets of aluminum foil because they
hinder cooking and may cause harmful arcing. Use
small pieces of foil to shield poultry legs and wings.
Keep ALL aluminum foil at least 1 inch from the side
walls of the oven cavity and door of the microwave.
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.
Tightly 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.
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.
