Cookware guide For food to cook in the microwave oven, the microwaves must be able to penetrate the food without being reflected or absorbed by the dish. It is important to choose the correct cookware, therefore, look for cookware that is marked microwave-safe. The following table lists various types of cookware and indicates if and how they should be used in a microwave oven. Microwave-safe utensils If you are not sure whether an item is microwave-safe or not, you can perform the following simple test: 1. Place 1 cup of water (in a glass-measuring cup) inside your oven next to the item to be tested. 2. Press the +30 sec button twice to heat them both for one minute at high power. After one minute, the water should be warm and the item you are testing should be cool. If the dish is warm, then it is absorbing microwave energy and is not microwave-safe. Cookware Aluminum foil Browning plate Ceramic, porcelain, and stoneware Disposable polyester cardboard Microwavesafe ✓✗ ✓ ✓ ✓ Comments Can be used in small quantities to protect areas against overcooking. Arcing can occur if the foil is too close to the oven wall or you use too much foil. Do not preheat for more than eight minutes. Porcelain, pottery, glazed earthenware and bone china are usually suitable, unless decorated with a metal trim. Some frozen foods are packaged in these materials. 18 English ME16K3000A_AA_EN.indd 18 1/21/2016 2:54:28 PM
