Cooking Instructions
Cooking Utensils
Recommended Use
Glass and glass-ceramic bowls and dishes
 — Use for heating or 
cooking.
Microwavable plastic wrap
 — Use to cover. Leave a small opening for 
some steam to escape and avoid placing it directly on the food.
Wax paper
 — Use as a cover to prevent spattering.
Paper towels and napkins
 — Use for short-term heating and covering; 
they absorb excess moisture and prevent spattering. Do not use recycled 
paper towels, which may contain metal and can catch fire.
Paper plates and cups
 — Use for short-term heating at low 
temperatures. Do not use recycled paper, which may contain metal and can 
catch fire.
Thermometers
 — Use only those labeled “Microwave-Safe” and follow all 
directions. Check the food in several places. Conventional thermometers may 
be used once the food has been removed from the oven.
Limited Use
Aluminum foil
 — Use narrow strips of foil to prevent overcooking of 
exposed areas. Using too much foil can damage your oven, so be careful.
Ceramic, porcelain, and stoneware
 — Use these if they are labeled 
“Microwave-Safe”. If they are not labeled, test them to make sure they can be 
used safely. Never use dishes with metallic trim.
Plastic
 — Use only if labeled “Microwave-Safe”. Other plastics can melt.
Straw, wicker, and wood
 — Use only for short-term heating, as they can 
be flammable.
Not Recommended
Glass jars and bottles
 — Regular glass is too thin to be used in a 
microwave, and can shatter.
Paper bags
 — These are a fire hazard, except for popcorn bags that are 
designed for microwave use.
Styrofoam plates and cups
 — These can melt and leave an unhealthy 
residue on food.
Plastic storage and food containers
 — Containers such as margarine 
tubs can melt in the microwave.
Testing Utensils
If you are not sure whether a dish is microwave-safe or not, you can perform 
this test:
1
Fill 1 cup of glass measuring cup with water and put it inside your oven, 
next to the dish you want to test.
2
Press the One Minute + button once to heat them for one minute at 
High power.
The water should be warm and the dish you are testing should be cool. If the 
dish is warm, then it is absorbing microwave energy and is not acceptable for 
use in the microwave.
