Testing suitability of cookware
Utensils should be checked to ensure 
they are suitable for use in Microwave 
ovens.
Place the cookware in the microwave 
heat on full power for one minute. if the 
cookware feels hot, you should not use it. 
if it is just slightly warm, you can use it for 
reheating but not for cooking. if the dish 
is room temperature, it is suitable for 
microwave cooking.
Paper napkins, wax paper, paper towels, 
plates, cups, cartons, freezer wrap 
and cardboard are great convenience 
utensils. always be sure containers are 
filled with food to absorb energy and 
thus avoid the possibility of overheating 
or ignition.
Many plastic dishes, cups, freezer 
containers and plastic wraps may be 
used in the microwave oven. follow 
manufacturer’s instructions when using 
plastics in the oven. avoid using plastic 
utensils with foods that have high fat or 
sugar content since these foods reach 
high temperatures and could melt some 
plastics.
do not leave oven unattended, and look 
at it from time to time when heating or 
cooking food in plastic, paper or other 
combustible containers.
