Plastic films and wraps:
▯
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.
Microwave-safe plastics:
▯
Microwave-safe 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 products:
▯
Paper towels, wax paper, parchment paper, paper
napkins and paper plates with no metallic trim or
design. Look for the manufacturers label for any
special instructions for use in the microwave.
Unsuitable ovenware
Metal utensils and cookware:
▯
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 appliance.
Metal decoration:
▯
Bowls, cups, serving plates and platters with 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 (25 mm) from
the side walls of the appliance cavity and door of the
appliance.
Wood:
▯
Wooden bowls and boards will dry out and may split
or crack when you use them in the microwave.
Baskets made of wood will react in the same way.
Tightly covered cookware:
▯
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 appliance.
Metal twist ties:
▯
Remove metal twist ties from plastic or paper bags.
They become hot and could cause a fire.
