BEFORE USING MICROWAVE OVEN

About Utensils and Coverings

It is not necessary to buy all new cookware. Many pieces

already in your kitchen can be used successfully in your

new microwave oven. Make sure the utensil does not touch

the interior walls during cooking.

Use these utensils for safe microwave cooking and

reheating:

•

glass ceramic (Pyroceram®), such as Corningware®

•

heat-resistant glass (Pyrex®)

•

microwave-safe plastics

•

paper plates

•

microwave-safe pottery, stoneware and porcelain

•

browning dish (Do not exceed recommended

preheating time. Follow manufacturer’s directions.)

These items can be used for short-time reheating of foods

that have little fat or sugar in them:

•

wood, straw, wicker

DO NOT USE

•

metal pans and bakeware

•

dishes with metallic trim

•

non-heat-resistant glass

•

non-microwave-safe plastics (margarine tubs)

•

recycled paper products

•

brown paper bags

•

food storage bags

•

metal twist-ties

•

styrofoam

Should you wish to check if a dish is safe for microwaving,

place the empty dish in the microwave oven and microwave

on HIGH for 30 seconds. A dish which becomes very hot

should not be used.

The following coverings are suitable for microwave use:

•

Paper towels are good for covering foods for reheating

and absorbing fat while cooking bacon.

•

Wax paper can be used for cooking and reheating.

•

Plastic wrap that is specially marked for microwave use

can be used for cooking and reheating. DO NOT allow

plastic wrap to touch food. Vent so steam can escape.

•

Lids that are microwave-safe are a good choice

because heat is kept near the food to hasten cooking.

•

Oven cooking bags are good for large meats or foods

that need tenderizing. DO NOT use metal twist ties.

Remember to slit bag so steam can escape.

Accessories

There are many microwave accessories available for

purchase. Evaluate carefully before you purchase so that

they meet your needs. A microwave-safe thermometer will

assist you in determining correct doneness and assure you

that foods have been cooked to safe temperatures.

The manufacturer is not responsible for any damage to the

microwave oven when accessories are used.
