SPECIAL NOTES ABOUT MICROWAVING

8

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION

MICROWAVE-

SAFE

COOKWARE

Make sure all cookware used in

your microwave oven is suitable

for microwaving. Most glass

casseroles, cooking dishes, meas

-

uring 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 “suit-

able for microwaving.”

How to test for a microwave-

safe dish.

• If you are not sure if a dish is

microwave-safe, use this test:

Place in the oven both the dish

you are testing and a glass meas-

uring cup filled with 1 cup of

water

-set the measuring cup either

in or next to the dish. Microwave

1 minute at high. If the dish heats,

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 use a meat thermometer

while cooking, make sure it is

safe for use in microwave ovens.

• Do not use recycled paper prod-

ucts. Recycled paper towels, nap-

kins and waxed paper can contain

metal flecks which may cause arc-

ing or ignite. Paper products con-

taining nylon or nylon filament

should be avoided, as they may

also ignite.

• Some styrofoam trays(like those

that meat is packaged on) have a

thin strip of metal embedded in

the bottom. When microwaved,

the metal can burn the floor of the

oven or ignite a paper towel.

• Do not use the microwave to dry

newspapers.

• Not all plastic wrap is suitable

for use in microwave ovens.

Check the package for proper use.

• 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.

• Cookware may become hot

because of heat transferred from

the heated food. Pot holders may

be needed to handle the cookware.

• Boilable” cooking pouches and

tightly closed plastic bags should

be slit, pierced or vented as direct-

ed by package. If they are not,

plastic could burst during or

immediately after cooking, possi-

bly resulting in injury. Also, plas-

tic storage containers should be at

least partially uncovered because

they form a tight seal. When

cooking with containers tightly

covered with plastic wrap, remove

covering carefully and direct

steam away from hands and face.
