Dishes, cups, mugs, and bowls.
pLAstIC
Plastic wrap (cling film) may be used as a cover. Lay the plastic
wrap loosely over the dish and press it to the sides. The dish
should be deep enough so that plastic wrap will not touch the
food, also the film should be pierced to allow steam to escape.
As the food heats, it may cause the wrap to melt wherever it
touches the food. Plastic dishes, cups, semi-rigid freezer contain-
ers, and plastic bags are usable for short cooking operations.
Use with care as some softening of the plastic can occur with
heat from the food.

MEtAL utENsILs
Metal utensils are not recommended because the metal shields
the food from microwave energy on the bottom and sides, caus-
ing uneven cooking result. Metal utensils will also cause arcing
and damage to the appliance.

Metal-trimmed or banded dinnerware, casseroles, etc., should
not be used. The metal trim interferes with normal cooking and
damage may result.

cause they will disrupt cooking and may cause harmful arcing.

poultry legs and wings. Any aluminum foil use should never be
closer than 1 inch from side walls of oven.
