cooking instructions Cooking utensils Recommended use • Glass and glass - ceramic bowls and dishes - Use for heating or cooking. • Microwavable plastic wrap - Use to cover.

Do not use recycled paper towels, which may contain metal and can catch fire. • Paper plates and cups - Use for short-term heating at low temperatures.

Conventional thermometers may be used once the food has been removed from the oven. Limited use • Aluminum foil - Use narrow strips of foil to prevent overcooking of exposed areas. Using too much foil can damage your oven, so be careful. • Ceramic, porcelain, and stoneware - Use these if they are labeled "Microwave-Safe". If they are not labeled, test them to make sure they can be used safely. Never use dishes with metallic trim. • Plastic - Use only if labeled "Microwave-Safe". Other plastics can melt. • Straw, wicker, and wood - Use only for short-term heating, as they can be flammable.
