COOKING UTENSILS GUIDE

This section lists which utensils can be used in this microwave, which have limited use for short periods, and which should not be used in this microwave.

RECOMMENDED

• Microwave browning dish — Use to brown the exterior of small items such as steaks, chops, or pancakes. Follow the directions provided with your browning dish.
• Microwaveable plastic wrap – Use to retain steam. Leave a small opening for some steam to escape and avoid placing it directly on the food.
• Paper towels and napkins — Use for short-term heating and covering; these absorb excess moisture and prevent spattering. Do not use recycled paper towels, which may contain metal and could ignite.
• Glass and glass-ceramic bowls and dishes — Use for heating or cooking.
• Paper plates and cups — Use for short-term heating at low temperatures. Do not use recycled paper, which contains metal and could ignite.
• Wax paper — Use as a cover to prevent spattering.
• Thermometers — Use only those labelled “Microwave Safe” and follow all directions. Check the food in several places. Conventional thermometers may be used on microwave food once the food has been removed from the oven.

LIMITED USE

• Aluminium foil — Use narrow strips of foil to prevent overcooking of exposed areas. Using too much foil can damage your oven, so be careful. You should keep a distance of 1 inch (2.54cm) between the aluminium foil and cavity.
• Ceramic, porcelain, and stoneware — Use these if they are labelled “Microwave Safe”. If they are not labelled, test them to make sure they can be used safely.
• Plastic — Use only if labelled “Microwave Safe”. Other plastics can melt.

NOT RECOMMENDED

• 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 due to food.
• 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: Should you wish to check if a dish is safe for microwaving, place the empty dish in the oven and microwave at a high power level for 30 seconds. A dish that becomes very hot should not be used.
