  Cookware and Container Guide     
(continued)
Plastics
Plastic dishes, cups and some freezer 
containers
 should be used with care in a 
microwave oven. Choose plastic containers 
carefully, as some plastic containers may 
become soft, melt and may scorch. The majority 
of plastic dishes, even those designed for use in 
the microwave oven, are not suitable for cooking 
foods with high fat or sugar content, or for 
lengthy cooking times. Most microwave plastic 
dishes should not be used for longer than 3 to 5 
minutes on High power. These dishes, although 
not suitable for extended cooking, may be used 
successfully for defrosting or for use on lower 
power levels.
Cooking Bags designed to withstand boiling, 
freezing, or conventional heating are microwave 
safe. Prepare bags according to manufacturer’s 
directions. When cooking by microwave, DO 
NOT use wire twist-ties to close bag. They can 
act as an antenna and cause arcing (sparks).
DO NOT COOK IN PLASTIC FOOD STORAGE 
BAGS.
Plastic Wrap such as GLAD WRAP
®
 can be 
used to cover dishes in most recipes. Over an 
extended heating time, some disfiguration of the 
wrap may occur. When removing plastic wrap 
“covers”, as well as any glass lid, be careful to 
remove it away from you to avoid steam burns.
Loosen plastic but let dish stand, covered.
Metal
Metal cookware or utensils, or those with 
metallic trim, should NOT be used in the 
microwave. Since microwave energy is reflected 
by metal, foods in metal containers will not cook 
evenly. There is also a possibility of “arcing.”
Although metal utensils should be avoided in 
microwave cooking, some metal can be helpful 
when used correctly.
Aluminum foil can be used safely, if certain 
guidelines are followed, to prevent overcooking. 
Small pieces of foil are used to shield areas 
such as chicken wings, tips of roasts, or other 
thin parts that cook before the rest of the recipe 
is finished. Make sure foil is attached securely 
and doesn’t touch sides of oven, otherwise 
arcing may occur. Foil lined containers, either 
cardboard or plastic, should NOT be used in the 
microwave oven as arcing could occur.
Metal twist-ties, either paper or plastic coated, 
should NOT be used in the microwave oven. 
Frozen dinner trays can be used in the 
microwave, if the container is no deeper than 
2 cm and is filled with food. Metal skewers can 
not be used in microwave ovens as arcing may 
occur. Wooden skewers are readily available 
and can be used.
Dishes: Scalloped baking dishes are best used 
during reheating and for short periods of cooking 
time only.
Thermometers are available for 
use in microwave ovens. DO NOT 
USE CONVENTIONAL MERCURY 
TYPE CONFECTIONARY OR MEAT 
THERMOMETERS in food while cooking in the 
microwave oven.
