Microwave
Microwave utensil guide
Suitable ovenware
▯
Heat-resistant glass, glass-ceramic:
Utility dishes, loaf dishes, pie plates, cake plates, liquid
measuring cups, casseroles and bowls without
metallic trim (e.g. Pyrex ® , Anchor Hocking™, Corning
Ware ® , etc.).
▯
China:
Bowls, cups, serving plates and platters without
metallic trim.
▯
Plastic films and wraps:
Plastic wrap (as a cover) - lay the plastic wrap loosely
over the dish and press it to the sides. Vent plastic
wrap by turning back one edge slightly to allow excess
steam to escape. The dish should be deep enough so
that the plastic wrap will not touch the food.
▯
Microwave-safe plastics:
Use microwave-safe plastic dishes, cups, semi-rigid
freezer containers and plastic bags for short cooking
times. Use these with care because the plastic may
soften from the heat of the food.
▯
Paper products:
Paper towels, wax paper, parchment paper, paper
napkins and paper plates with no metallic trim or
design. Look for the manufacturers label for any
special instructions for use in the microwave oven.
Unsuitable ovenware
▯
Metal utensils and cookware:
Metal shields the food from microwave energy and
produces uneven cooking. Also, avoid metal skewers,
thermometers or foil trays. Metal utensils can cause
arcing, which can damage your microwave oven.
▯
Metal decoration:
Bowls, cups, serving plates and platters with metallic
trim.
▯
Aluminum foil:
Avoid large sheets of aluminum foil because they
hinder cooking and may cause harmful arcing. Use
small pieces of foil to shield poultry legs and wings.
Keep ALL aluminum foil at least 1 inch (2.5 cm) from
the side walls of the oven cavity and door of the
microwave.
