When microwavingwith the oven
shelf, some techniques will differ
from the cookbook which came
with your oven. It is important to

the next page). Cookware size is
important; select from among the
suggestions below.Also, food size
should be considered; foods over

Cookware for Shelf
Heating and Reheating
Beforeplacing food in the dishes,
check to see thatthey will fittogether
on or under the shelf. Also, be sure
cookware is microwavesafe.
Cookware for heating or reheating
include 1cup measuring cup,
8x4x3-inch loaf dishes, 9x5x3-inch
loaf dishes or 9-inch pie plates.
Leftovers maybe placed in small
individual ceramic or plastic bowls
or divided plates.
Use pot holders when handling
foods heated together with your
oven shelf, especially when heating
larger amounts of food. Extra steam
generated from multiple food
cooking may make cookware hotter
than with regular microwaving.
Use wax paper or plastic wrap
instead oflids on casseroles. Lids
may add too much height to dish.
