IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
MICROWAVE-
SAFE
COOKWARE
Make sure all cookware used
in your microwave oven 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."
How to test for a microwave-
safe dish.
• If you are not sure if
a dish is microwave-safe,
use this test: Place in the
oven both the dish you
are testing and a glass
measuring cup filled with
1 cup of water—set the
measuring cup either
in or next to the dish.
Microwave 1 minute at high.
If the dish heats,
it should not be used
for microwaving.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
If the dish remains cool and
only the water in the cup
heats, then the dish
is microwave-safe.
• If you use a meat
thermometer while cooking,
make sure
it is safe for use in
microwave ovens.
• Do not use recycled paper
products. Recycled paper
towels, napkins and waxed
paper can contain metal
flecks which may cause
arcing or ignite. Paper
products containing nylon
or nylon filaments should be
avoided, as they may also
ignite.
• Some styrofoam 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.
• Do not use the microwave
to dry newspapers.
• Not all plastic wrap
is suitable for use in
microwave ovens.
Check the package
for proper use.
• 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.
• Cookware may become hot
because of heat transferred
from the heated food. Pot
holders may be needed to
handle the cookware.
• "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.
