LIMITED USE
• Aluminum 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 distance of 1 inch (2.54cm) between aluminum foil and cavity.
•
Ceramic, porcelain, and stoneware - Use these if they are labeled
“Microwave Safe.” If they are not labeled, test them to make sure they can be
used safely.
• Plastic - Use only if labeled “Microwave Safe.” Other plastics can melt.
•
Straw, wicker, and wood - Use only for short-term heating, such as
warming dinner rolls for a few seconds; baskets and bowls may be flammable.
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 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: Should you wish to check if a dish is safe for microwaving, place the
empty dish in the oven and microwave on HIGH for 30 seconds. A dish
that becomes very hot should not be used.
