Cookware guide
To cook food in your microwave oven, microwaves must be able to penetrate the
food without being reected or absorbed by the dish.
It is important to choose the correct cookware, therefore look for cookware that is
marked microwave-safe.
The following table lists various types of cookware and indicates if and how they
should be used in a microwave oven.
Recommended cooking utensils
• Glass and glass-ceramic bowls and dishes — Use for heating or cooking.
• Microwavable plastic wrap — Use to cover. Leave a small opening for steam to
escape and avoid placing it directly on the food.
• Wax paper — Use as a cover to prevent spattering.
• 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 can catch re.
• Paper plates and cups — Use for short-term heating at low temperatures. Do
not use recycled paper, which may contain metal and can catch re.
• Thermometers — Use only those labeled “Microwave Safe” and follow all
directions. Check the food in several places. Conventional thermometers may
be used once the food has been removed from the oven.
Limited use items
• 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.
Never use dishes with metallic trim.
• Plastic — Use only if labeled “Microwave Safe”. Other plastics can melt.
• Straw, wicker, and wood — Use only for short-term heating, as they are
ammable.
