COOKWARE GUIDE

Most heat resistant, nonmetallic cookware is safe for use in your microwave oven. However, to test
cookware before using, follow these steps:
1. Place empty cookware in the microwave oven.
2. Measure 1 cup (250ml) of water in a glass measuring cup and place it in the oven beside the cookware.
3. Microwave on 100% power for 1 minute. If the cookware is warm, it should not be used for microwave cooking.
NOTE:
Some dishes (melamine, some ceramic dinnerware, etc.) absorb microwave energy, becoming too hot to
handle and slowing cooking time. Cooking in metal containers, not designed for microwave use, could
damage the oven, as could containers with hidden metal (twist-ties, foil lining, staples, metallic glaze or trim).
