COOKWARE

GUIDE

Most heat-resistant, non-metallic cookware is safe for use in your microwave oven. However, to test cookware
before using, follow these steps:
1. Place the empty cookware in the microwave oven.
2. Measure 1 cup of water in a glass measuring cup and place it in the oven beside the cookware.
3. Microwave on 100% power for 1 minute. If the dish is warm, it should not be used for microwave cooking.

USE

DO NOT USE
Metal Utensil
• Metal shields food from microwave energy and
produces uneven cooking. Avoid metal skewers,
thermometers, or foil trays.

Ovenproof Glass
• Glass treated for use in high-intensity heat
includes utility dishes, bread dishes, pie plates,
cake plates, liquid measuring cups, casseroles,
and bowls without metallic trim.

• Metal utensils can cause arcing, which is a
discharge of electric current. Arcing can damage
your microwave oven.

China
• Bowls, cups, serving plates, and platters without
metallic trim can be used in your oven.

Metal Decoration
• Do not use metal-trimmed or metal-banded
dinnerware, casserole dishes, etc.

Plastic
• When using plastic wrap as a cover, make sure
that the dish is deep enough so the plastic wrap
does not touch the food. As the food heats, it may
melt the plastic wrap wherever the wrap touches
the food.

Centura

Tableware

• The Corning Company recommends that you
do not use Centura tableware and some
Corelle TM closed-handle cups for microwave
cooking.

• Place plastic wrap loosely over the top of the dish
and secure it by pressing the wrap to the sides of
the dish.
• Vent by turning back one corner of the plastic wrap.
This will allow excess steam to escape.

Aluminum
Foil
• Avoid large sheets of aluminum foil because
they hinder cooking and may cause arcing.

• Use plastic dishes, cups, semi-rigid freezer
containers, and plastic bags only for short time
cooking. Use these with care because the
plastic may soften from the heat of the food.

• Use small pieces of foil to shield poultry legs
and wings.
• Keep all aluminum foil at least 1 inch from the
walls and door of the oven.

Paper

Wood
• Wooden bowls, boards, and baskets will dry out
and may split or crack when you use them in the
microwave oven.

• Microwave-safe paper towels, waxed paper, paper
napkins, and paper plates with no metallic trim or
design can be used in your oven.
• Refer to the manufacturer's label for use of any
paper product in the microwave oven.

Tightly
Closed Containers
• Tightly closed cookware can explode. Be sure
to leave an opening for steam to escape from
covered cookware.
Brown Paper
• Avoid using brown paper bags. They absorb
heat and could burn.
Metal Twist Ties
• Always remove metal twist ties as they can
become hot and cause a fire.

TIPS FOR MICROWAVE

COOKING

BROWNING
Meat and poultry with high fat
for 10 or 15 minutes or longer
cooked a shorter time can be
agent, such as Worcestershire
barbecue sauce.

ARRANGEMENT
content that are cooked
will brown lightly. Foods
brushed with a browning
sauce, soy sauce, or

Do not stack food. Arrange in a single layer in the dish
for more even cooking. Because dense foods cook
more slowly, place thicker portions of meat, poultry,
fish, and vegetables toward the outside of the dish.
TESTING FOR DONENESS

COVERING
A cover traps heat and steam and causes the food to
cook more quickly. Use a lid or microwave-safe plastic
wrap with one corner folded back to vent the excess
steam. Lids on glass casseroles can become hot
during cooking. Handle carefully. Waxed paper will
prevent the food from splattering in the oven and help
retain heat. When warming bread items, use waxed
paper, napkins, or paper towels. To absorb extra
moisture, wrap sandwiches and fatty foods in paper
towels.

Because foods cook quickly in a microwave oven, you
need to test frequently for doneness.

SPACING
Arrange individual foods, such as baked potatoes,
cupcakes, and hors d'oeuvres in a circle and at least
1 inch apart. This will help the food cook more evenly.

SHIELDING
To prevent some portions of rectangular or square
dishes from overcooking, you may need to shield
them with small strips of aluminum foil to block the
microwaves. You can also cover poultry legs and
wing tips with foil to keep them from overcooking.
Always keep foil at least 1 inch from oven walls
to prevent arcing.

STANDING TIME
Food often needs to stand from 2 to 15 minutes after
you remove it from the oven. Usually, you need to
cover food during standing time to retain heat. Remove
most foods when they are slightly undercooked and
they will finish cooking during standing time. The
internal temperature of food will rise about 10 °F
during standing time.

STIRRING
Stirring blends flavors and redistributes the heat in
foods. Always stir from the outside toward the center
of the dish. Food at the outside of the dish heats first.

PIERCING
Pierce the shell, skin, or membrane of foods before
cooking to prevent them from bursting. Foods that
require piercing include yolks and whites of eggs, hot
dogs, clams, oysters, and whole vegetables, such as
potatoes and squash.

TURNING
Large foods, such as roasts and whole poultry, should
be turned so that the top and bottom cook evenly. Also
turn over chicken pieces and chops.

PRECAUTIONS
• Place the front surface of the door three inches or

• Use thermometers that have been approved for
microwave oven cooking.
• The turntable must always be in place when you
operate the oven.
• Do not use your microwave oven to cook eggs in the
shell. Pressure can build up inside the shell, causing it
to burst.
• There are several precautions to follow when
microwaving popcorn:
-- Do not pop popcorn, except in a microwave-safe
container or commercial packages designed for
microwave ovens.
i Never try to pop popcorn in a paper bag that is not
microwave-approved.
i Overcooking may result in smoke and fire.
i Do not repop unpopped kernels.
i Do not reuse popcorn bags.
i Listen while corn pops. Stop oven when popping
slows to 2-3 seconds between pops.
i Do not leave microwave unattended while popping
corn.
i Follow directions on bag.

more from the countertop edge to avoid accidental
tipping of the microwave oven during normal use.
• To program the oven, make sure you touch the center
of each pad firmly since the areas between the pads
will not activate the oven. A tone will sound each time
a pad is touched correctly. Don't touch several pads at
once.
• Do not strike the control panel with silverware,
utensils, etc. Breakage may occur.
• Always use caution when taking the cooking utensils
out of the oven. Some dishes absorb heat from the
cooked food and may be hot. See Cookware Guide
earlier in this section for more information.
• Do not rinse cooking utensils by placing them in water
immediately after cooking. This may cause breakage.
Also, always allow the turntable to cool before
removing it from the oven.
• Never operate the oven when it is empty. Food or
water should always be in the oven during operation
to absorb the microwave energy.
• Do not use the oven to dry newspapers or clothes.
They may catch fire.

CLEANING
DOOR
For best performance and safety, the inner door panel
and the oven front frame should be free of food or
grease buildup. Wipe often with a mild detergent; then
rinse and wipe dry. Never use cleaning powders or
rough pads.

NOTE: Before cleaning the oven, unplug the power
cord. If this is impossible, open the oven door to prevent an accidental oven start.
INTERIOR
Wipe the oven inside and outside with a soft cloth and
a mild detergent solution. Then rinse and wipe dry.
This should be done weekly or more often, if needed.
Never use cleaning powders or rough pads.
Excessive oil splatters on the inside top will be difficult
to remove if left for many days. Wipe splatters with a
wet paper towel, especially after cooking chicken or
bacon.
REMOVABLE

After cleaning the control panel, touch STOP/CLEAR
to clear any entries that might have been entered accidentally while cleaning the panel. Also make sure that
the turntable and rotating ring are in the right position.

PARTS

The turntable and rotating ring are removable. They
should be hand-washed in warm (not hot) water with a
mild detergent and a soft cloth. Once they are clean,
rinse well and dry with a soft cloth. Never use cleaning
powders, steel wool, or rough pads.
• The turntable may be cleaned at the sink. Be careful
not to chip or scratch the edges as this may cause
the turntable to break during use.
• The rotating ring should be cleaned regularly.

COOKING TIPS
Meat

Poultry

1. No special techniques are required. Meat should be
prepared as with conventional cooking. Season if
desired. Always thoroughly defrost meat before
cooking.
2. Place the meat on a microwave roasting rack or
microwave-proof plate and place on the turntable.
3. Cook according to the Meat Cooking Chart (below).
Use the longer time for large meats and the shorter
time for smaller meats. For thicker chops, use the
longer time.
4. Turn the meat once halfway through the cooking
time.
5. Let stand for 5-10 minutes wrapped in foil after
cooking. The standing time is very important as it
completes the cooking process.
6. Make sure meat, especially pork, is thoroughly
cooked before eating.

1. No special techniques are required. Poultry should
be prepared as with conventional cooking. Season
if desired.
2. Poultry should be thoroughly defrosted. Remove
giblets and any metal clamps.
3. Prick the skin and brush lightly with vegetable oil
unless the poultry is self-basting.
4. All poultry should be placed on a microwave roasting rack or a microwave-proof plate and placed on
the turntable.
5. Cook according to the instructions in the Poultry
Cooking Chart below. Turn over halfway through the
cooking time. Because of its shape, poultry has a
tendency to cook unevenly, especially in very bony
parts.Turning during roasting helps to cook these
areas evenly.
6. Let stand for 5-10 minutes wrapped in foil after
cooking before carving. The standing time is very
important, as it completes the cooking process.
7. Make sure poultry is thoroughly cooked before eating.
Whole poultry is completely cooked when the juices
run clear from the inside thigh when it is pierced
with a sharp knife. Poultry pieces should be pierced
with a sharp knife through the thickest part to
ensure that the juices are clear and the flesh is firm.

times may also vary due to the shape, cut, and
composition of the food.
• If whole poultry is stuffed, the weight of the stuffed
bird should be used when calculating the cooking
time.

NOTE: The times listed above are only a guide. Allow
for difference in individual tastes and preferences. The

To heat or reheat successfully in the microwave, it is important to follow several guidelines. Measure the amount
of food in order to determine the time needed to reheat. Arrange the food in a circular pattern for best results.
Room temperature food will heat faster than refrigerated food. Canned foods should be taken out of the can and
placed in a microwavable container. The food will be heated more evenly if covered with a microwavable lid or
plastic wrap and vented. Remove cover carefully to prevent steam burns. Use the following chart as a guide for
reheating cooked food.
