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
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.
China
• Bowls, cups, serving plates, and platters without
metallic trim can be used in your oven.
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.
• 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.
• 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.
Paper
• 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 paper
manufacturer's
label for use of
any paper product
in the microwave
oven.
Metal
Utensils
• Metal
shields
food from
microwave
energy
and
produces
uneven
cooking.
Avoid
metal
skewers,
thermometers,
or foil trays.
• Metal
utensils
can cause
arcing,
which
is a
discharge
of electric
current.
Arcing
can damage
your microwave
oven.
Metal
Decoration
• Do not use metal-trimmed
or metal-banded
dinnerware, casserole dishes, etc.
Centura
TM
Tableware
• The Coming Company recommends that you
do not use Centura tableware and some Corelle
TM
closed-handle
cups for microwave cooking.
Aluminum
Foil
• Do not use large
sheets
of aluminum
foil because
they hinder
cooking
and may cause
arcing.
You may
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.
Wood
• Wooden
bowls,
boards,
and baskets
will dry out and
may split or crack when
you use them
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
• Do not use 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.
