Microwaving Tips

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."
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 one cup 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. If the dish
remains cool and only the water in
the cup heats, then the dish is
microwave-safe.
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.
Some microwaved foods
require stirring, rotiting or
rearranging. Check the cookbook.
Steam builds up pressure in
foods which are tightly covered
by a skin or membrane. Pierce
potatoes, egg yolks and chicken
—
livers to prevent bursting.
