Make sure all cookware used in
your microwave oven is suitable
for microwaving.
Most glass
casseroles, cooking dishes,
measuring cups, custard cups,
pottery or china dinnerware which
does not have metallic trim or glaze
with a metallic sheen can be used.
Some cookware is labeled “suitable
for microwaving.”
If you are unsure, use this dish
test:
Measure 1 cup water in a glass
cup. Place in oven on or beside dish.
Microwave 1 minute at high. If water
becomes hot, dish is
microwave-
safe. If dish heats, it should not be
used for microwaving.
Paper towels, wax paper, and
plastic wrap
can be used to cover
dishes in order to retain moisture
and prevent spattering.
Some microwaved foods
require stirring, rotiting, or
~ranging.
Check your cookbook.
Steam builds up pressure in
foods which are tightly covered
by a skin or membrane. Pierce
potatoes, egg yolks and chicken
livers to prevent bursting.
