cookware guide

For food to cook in the microwave oven, the 

microwaves must be able to penetrate the food 

without being reflected 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.

MICROWAVE-SAFE UTENSILS

If you are not sure whether an item is microwave-safe, you 

can perform the following simple test:
1.  Place 1 cup of water (in a glass-measuring cup) inside 

your oven next to the item to be tested.

2.  Press the Add 30 sec button twice to heat them both 

for one minute at high power.

After one minute, the water should be warm and the item 

you are testing should be cool. If the dish is warm, then it 

is absorbing microwave energy and is not microwave-safe.
