 BEFORE USE 9

Microwave-Safe Utensils
Never use metal or metal trimmed utensils in using microwave function
Microwaves cannot penetrate metal. They will bounce off any metal object in the oven and cause arcing, an alarming
phenomenon that resembles lightning. Most heat resistant non metallic cooking utensils are safe for use in your oven.
However, some may contain materials that render them unsuitable as microwave cookware. If you have any doubts about a
particular utensil, there's a simple way to find out if it can be sued in the microwave.
Place the utensil in question next to a glass bowl filled with water in using microwave function. Microwave at power HIGH
for 1 minute. If the water heats up but utensil remains cool to the touch, the utensil is microwave-safe.
However, if the water does not change temperature but the utensil becomes warm, microwave are being absorbed by the
utensil and it is not safe for use in using microwave function. You probably have many items on hand in your kitchen right
now that can be used as cooking equipment in the microwave. Just read through the following checklist.
Dinner plates
Many kinds of dinnerware are microwave-safe. If in doubt consult the manufacturer's literature or perform the microwave
test.
Glassware
Glassware that is heat-resistant is microwave-safe. This would include all brands of oven tempered glass cookware.
However, do not use delicate glassware, such as tumblers or wine glasses, as these might shatter as the food warms.
Plastic storage containers
These can be used to hold foods that are to be quickly reheated. However, they should not be used to hold foods that will
need considerable time in the oven as hot foods will eventually wrap or melt plastic containers.
Paper
Paper plates are container convenient and safe to use in using microwave function, provided that the cooking time is short
and foods to be cooked are low in fat and moisture. Paper towels are also very useful for wrapping foods and for lining
baking trays in which greasy food such as bacon are cooked. In general, avoid cloloured paper products as the colour may
run. Some recycled paper products may contain impurities which could cause arcing or fires when used in the microwave.
Plastic cooking bags
Provided they are made specially for cooking, cooking bags are microwave safe. However, be sure to make a slit in the bag so
that steam can escape. Never use ordinary plastic bags for cooking in using microwave function, as they will melt and
rupture.
Plastic microwave cookware
A variety of shapes and sizes of microwave cookware are available. For the most part, you can probably use items you
already have on hand rather than investing in new kitchen equipment.
Pottery, stoneware and ceramic
Containers made of these materials are usually fine for use in using microwave function, but they should be tested to be
sure.

• Some items with high lead or iron content are not suitable as cooking utensils.
• Utensils should be checked to ensure that they are suitable for use in the microwave.
