MICROWAVE UTENSIL GUIDE

USE DO NOT USE

Ovenproof Glass (Glass which has been treated for
high intensity heat):
Utility dishes, bread dishes, pie plates, cake plates,
liquid measuring cups, casseroles, and bowls

without metallic trim.

China:
Bowls, cups, serving plates, and platters without

metallic trim.

Plastic:
When plastic wrap is used as a cover, make sure

that the dish is deep enough so the plastic wrap
does not touch the food. As the food heats, it may

melt the plastic wrap wherever the wrap touches the
food. Place the wrap loosely over the top of the dish
and secure it by pressing the wrap to the sides of
the dish. Make a vent by lightly turning back one
corner of the plastic wrap. The will allow excess
steam to escape. Use plastic dishes, cups,

semi-rigid freezer containers, and plastic bags only
for short time cooking. Use these with care
because the plastic may soften from the heat of

the food.

Paper:

Paper towels, waxed paper, paper napkins, and
paper plates with no metallic trim or design. Look at
the manufacturer's label for use of paper products in

the microwave oven.

Metal Utensil:
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 is a luminous discharge of

electric current. Arcing can damage your microwave
oven.

Metal Decoration:

Metal-trimmed or metal-banded dinnerware,
casserole dishes, etc.

Centura tableware:
The Corning Company recommends you DO NOT

USE Centura tableware or some Corelle closed-

handle cups for microwave cooking.

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 from the side
walls and door of the oven.

Wood:
Wooden bowls and boards will dry out and may split
or crack when you use them in the microwave oven.

Baskets react in the same way.

Tightly Closed Containers or pouches:

Be sure to leave an opening for steam to escape
from covered utensils. Tightly closed utensils can

explode.

Utensil Test: Place the empty utensil in the microwave oven.

Measure 1 cup of water in a glass measuring cup and place it in the oven beside the utensil.
Microwave on Hi Power for 1 minute.

If the utensil is warm to touch at the end of this time, you should not use it for microwave
cooking.

Brown Paper:
Avoid using brown paper bags. They absorb too

much heat and could burn.

Metal Twist Ties:

Remove metal twist ties from plastic or paper bags.
They become hot and can cause a fire.
