UTENSILS
This section lists which utensils can be used in the microwave, which ones have
limited use for short periods, and which ones should not be used in the
microwave.
Recommended
• Microwave browning dish – Use to brown the exterior of small items such as
steaks, chops, or pancakes. Follow the directions provided with your
browning dish.
• Microwaveable plastic wrap – Use to retain steam. Leave a small opening for
some steam to escape and avoid placing it directly on the food.
• Paper towels and napkins – Use for short-term heating and covering. They
absorb excess moisture and prevent spattering. Do not use recycled paper
towels, which may contain metal and could ignite.
• Glass and glass-ceramic bowls and dishes – Use for heating or cooking.
• Paper plates and cups – Use for short-term heating at low temperatures. Do not
use recycled paper, which may contain metal and could ignite.
• Wax paper – Use as a cover to prevent spattering.
• Thermometers – Use only those labeled “Microwave Safe” and follow all
directions. Check the food in several places. Conventional thermometers may
be used on microwave food 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.
• Plastic – Use only if labeled “Microwave Safe.” Other plastics can melt.
• Straw, wicker, and wood – Use only for short-term heating, such as warming
dinner rolls for a few seconds; baskets and bowls may be flammable.
Not Recommended
• Glass jars and bottles – Regular glass is too thin to be used in a microwave.
It can shatter and cause damage and injury.
• Paper bags – These are a fire hazard, except for popcorn bags that are
designed for microwave use.
• Styrofoam plates and cups – These can melt and leave an unhealthy
residue on food.
• Plastic storage and food containers – Containers such as margarine tubs
can melt in the microwave.
• Metal utensils – These can damage your oven. Remove all metal
before cooking.
Note
Should you wish to check if a dish is safe for microwaving, place the
empty dish in the oven and microwave on HIGH for 30 seconds.
A dish that becomes very hot should not be used.

COOKING TECHNIQUES
Your microwave makes cooking easier than conventional cooking, provided you
keep these considerations in mind:
Stirring
Stir foods such as casseroles and vegetables while cooking to distribute heat
evenly. Food at the outside of the dish absorbs more energy and heats more
quickly, so stir from the outside to the center. The oven will turn off when you
open the door to stir your food.
Arrangement
Arrange unevenly shaped foods, such as chicken pieces or chops, with the
thicker, meatier parts toward the outside of the turntable where they receive more
microwave energy. To prevent overcooking, place delicate areas, such as
asparagus tips, toward the center of the turntable.
Shielding
Shield food with narrow strips of aluminum foil to prevent overcooking. Areas
that need shielding include poultry wing-tips, the ends of poultry legs, and
corners of square baking dishes. Use only small amounts of aluminum foil.
Larger amounts can damage your oven.
Turning
Turn foods over midway through cooking to expose all parts to microwave
energy. This is especially important with large foods such as roasts.
Standing
Foods cooked in the microwave build up internal heat and continue to cook for a
few minutes after heating stops. Let foods stand to complete cooking, especially
foods such as cakes and whole vegetables. Roasts need this time to complete
cooking in the center without overcooking the outer areas. All liquids, such as
soup or hot chocolate, should be shaken or stirred when cooking is complete.
Let liquids stand a moment before serving. When heating baby food, stir well at
removal and test the temperature before serving.
Adding moisture
Microwave energy is attracted to water molecules. Food that is uneven in
moisture content should be covered or allowed to stand so that the heat disperses
evenly. Add a small amount of water to dry food to help it cook.
