INSTRUCTIONS
●
Make sure all cookware
used in your microwave
oven is suitable for
casseroles, cooking
dishes, measuring cups,
custard cups, pottery or
china dinnerware which
does not have metallic trim or glaze with a metallic
sheen can be used. Some cookware is labeled “suitable
for microwaving. ”
●
If you are not sure a dish microwave-safe,
use this test: Place the oven both the dish you are
testing and a glass measuring cup filled with one
cup of water—set the measuring cup either in or next
to the Microwave 1 at high. If the dish
heats, it should not be used for microwaving. If the
dish remains cool and only the water in the cup heats,
then the dish is microwave-safe.
●
Paper towels, waxed paper and plastic wrap
can be used to cover dishes in order to retain moisture
and prevent spattering. Be sure to vent plastic wrap so
steam can escape.
●
Some microwaved foods require stirring, rotating
or rearranging. Check the Cookbook supplied.
●
Steam builds up pressure in foods which are tightly
covered by a skin or membrane. Pierce potatoes, egg
yolks and chicken livers to prevent bursting.
If you use a meat thermometer while cooking, make
sure it is safe for use in microwave ovens.
