cooking. Most glass casseroles, cooking dishes,
measuring cups, custard cups, pottery or china

with a metallic sheen can be used. Some cookware is
labeled “suitable for microwaving.”

bags should be slit, pierced or vented as directed by
package. If they are not, plastic could burst during
or immediately after cooking, possibly resulting in
injury. Also, plastic storage containers should be at
least partially uncovered because they form a tight
seal. When cooking with containers tightly covered
with plastic wrap, remove covering carefully and
direct steam away from hands and face.

microwave cooking is very useful, but should be
used carefully. Even microwave-safe plastic may
not be as tolerant of overcooking conditions as are
glass or ceramic materials and may soften or char if
subjected to short periods of overcooking. In longer
exposures to overcooking, the food and cookware
could ignite.
