I L __________________________________ _I UTENSlL TEST Dishes that do not absorb microwave energy are best for microwave cooking. Lock on the label to verify that particular cups, glasses. plates are indeed surtable, especially paper goods. If you are not sure, try this utensil test to check. ' - Put the empty utensil in the microwave oven, « Put one cup of water in a glass measure next to the empty utensil - Heat on HI lor 1 minute. - After 1 minute the walershouid be warm but the utensrl should not lithe utensil is warm, it is not suitable for microwave cooking. MICROWAVE UTENSILS Glass, Ceramic and China Ovenprooi glass or ceramic baking dishes are the most used microwave utensils Many of these items are readily available in most homes : glass measure. custard cups, mixing bowls, covered casseroles, pie plates and round or square cake dishes. Ovenproof dinnerware is usually safe to use in the microwave. Do not heat or cook in glass jars or bottles. Do not use dishes with silver, gold, platinum or other metal trim Arcing may occur and lor the dish may break. Do not use delicate or stemmed glassware. Although the glass may be transparent to microwave energy. heat from the food may cause the glassware to crack. Plastics Plastic dishes, cups, mugs and bowls may be used in the oven lor short periods of time. None ol these should be used in the oven lor prolonged periods because distortion and melting may occur. Check manufacturer‘s recommendations concerning microwave safety. Plastic wrap can be used to cover dishes in most recipes if the dish is deep enough to avoid plastic wrap touching the food. Always vent the wrap by folding back one corner to allow excess steam to escape. Plastic cooking bags should be slit before cooking so excess steam can escape. Do not use wire twist ties to close the bag. Wire twist ties can cause arcing which can damage the oven. Paper Paper cups, wax paper, napkins, paper towels, and plates may be used for short cooking. Prolonged time in the oven can cause paper to burn. Do not use recycled paper products, such as brown paper bags. They contain impurities which may can“ r‘3ing and damage the oven. Metal Metal utensils should not be used in the oven. Metal reflects microwave energy so foods will not cook so foods will not oook evenly. Metal can cause arcing and damage the oven. . 16 CARE OF YOUR MICROWAVE OVEN '| Turn the oven off before cleaning. 2 Keep the Illblde of the oven clean When food spatters or spilled liquids adhere to even walls, wipe with a damp cloth.
