Cooking Utensils
IVllCROWAVE UTENSIL GUIDE
OVEN PROOF GLASS (treated for
high intensity heat):
Utility dishes, loaf 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:
Plastic wrap (as a cover)-- lay the
plastic wrap loosely over the dish
and press it to the sides.
Vent plastic wrap by turning back one
edge slightly to allow excess steam
to escape. The dish should be deep
enough so that the plastic wrap will
not touch the food. As the food heats
it may melt the plastic wrap wherever
the wrap touches the food.
Use plastic dishes, cups, semirigid
freezer containers and plastic bags
only for short cooking times.
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 for the
manufacturer's label for use in the
microwave oven.
METAL UTENSILS:
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 can damage your microwave oven.
METAL DECORATION:
Metal-trimmed or metal-banded dinnerware, casserole dishes, etc. The
metal trim interferes with normal cooking and may damage the oven.
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 COVERED UTENSILS:
Be sure to leave openings for steam to escape from covered utensils.
Pierce plastic pouches of vegetables or other food items before cooking.
Tightly closed pouches could explode.
BROWN PAPER:
Avoid using brown paper bags.
They absorb too much heat and could burn.
FLAWED OR CHIPPED UTENSILS:
Any utensil that is cracked, flawed, or chipped may break in the oven.
M ETAL TWIST TI ES:
Remove metal twist ties from plastic or paper bags.
They become hot and could cause a fire.
