longer
exposures to overcooking, the food and
cookware could ignite. For these reasons: 1) Use
microwave-safe plastics only and use them in
strict compliance with the cookware

subject empty cookware to microwaving. 3) Do
not permit children to use plastic cookware
without complete supervision.

MICROWAVING TIPS
● Make sure all cookware used in your microwave
oven is suitable for microwaving.
Most glass
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 if a dish is
microwave-safe,
use this test:

in the oven both

testing and a glass

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.
IF YOU NEED SERVICE...
● 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.
● Steam builds up pressure in foods which are

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.
