Glass jars and bottles — Regular glass is too 
thin to be used in a microwave. It can shatter 
and cause damage and injury. 
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. 
Metal utensils — These can damage your oven. 
Remove all metal before cooking. 
 
Note:  
TO TEST A CONTAINER FOR SAFE 
MICROWAVE OVEN USE: Fill a 8 oz (250ml) 
glass measure with water and place it in the 
microwave oven along with the container to be 
tested; heat one minute at HIGH. If the 
container is microwave oven safe, it should 
remain comfortably cool and the water should 
be hot. If the container is hot, it has absorbed 
some microwave energy and should not be 
used.  
 
 
 
 
 
 
Your microwave makes cooking easier than 
conventional cooking, provided you keep these 
considerations in mind: 
S
TIRRING 
 
Stir foods such as casseroles and vegetables 
while cooking to distribute heat evenly. Food at 
the outside of the dish absorbs more energy 
and heats more quickly, so stir from the outside 
to the center. The oven will turn off when you 
open the door to stir your food. 
A
RRANGEMENT 
 
Arrange unevenly shaped foods, such as 
chicken pieces or chops, with the thicker, 
meatier parts toward the outside of the 
turntable where they receive more microwave 
energy. To prevent overcooking, place delicate 
areas, such as asparagus tips, toward the 
center of the turntable. 
S
HIELDING 
 
Shield food with narrow strips of aluminum foil 
to prevent overcooking. Areas that need 
shielding include poultry wing tips, the ends of 
poultry legs, and corners of square baking 
dishes. Use only small amounts of aluminum 
foil. Larger amounts can damage your oven. 
T
URNING 
 
Turn foods over midway through cooking to 
expose all parts to microwave energy. This is 
especially important with large foods such as 
roasts. 
S
TANDING 
 
Foods cooked in the microwave build up 
internal heat and continue to cook for a few 
minutes after heating stops. Let foods stand to 
complete cooking, especially foods such as 
cakes and whole vegetables. Roasts need this 
time to complete cooking in the center without 
overcooking the outer areas. All liquids, such 
as soup or hot chocolate, should be shaken or 
stirred when cooking is complete. Let liquids 
stand a moment before serving. When heating 
baby food, stir well at removal and test the 
temperature before serving.
