Do not leave oven unattended while cooking.
 
Paper towels
 
Use microwave-safe paper towels only to cover food for reheating and 
absorbing fat. Use with supervision for short-term cooking only.
 
Parchment
 
Use as a cover to prevent spattering or a wrap paper for steaming.
 
Plastic containers
 
Use microwave-safe containers only. Follow the manufacturer  's 
instructions. Containers should be labeled  “Microwave-Safe." 
Some plastic containers    soften as the food inside gets hot.  “Boiling 
bags  "  and tightly closed plastic bags should be slit, pierced, or 
vented as directed by package.
 
Plastic wrap
 
Microwave-safe only. Use to cover food during cooking to retain 
moisture. Do not allow plastic wrap to touch food.
 
Wax paper
 
Use a cover to prevent splattering and to help retain moisture.

How Your Microwave Oven Works 
The microwave oven has an electronic tube called a magnetron that produces microwaves, 
very short radio waves. The microwaves then pass through a wave-guide and into the oven 
cavity. The microwaves penetrate the food and cause water molecules within the food to 
vibrate extremely rapidly. This vibration causes considerable friction or heat between the 
water molecules resulting in a rapid rise in temperature. This type of heating is very efficient 
and the cooking time is therefore shorter than in a conventional oven. The rate of heating 
depends on the moisture content, shape, volume and amount of food present. Metallic 
materials totally reflect microwaves. Non-metallic materials such as glass, paper and 
plastics are partially transparent to microwaves. Microwaves do not directly heat the oven
