MICROWAVE-SAFE COOKWARE
Make sure to use suitable cookware during microwave cooking. 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.”

bags should be slit, pierced or vented as directed by
package instructions. If they are not, plastic could
burst during or immediately after cooking, possibly
resulting in injury. Also, plastic storage containers
should be at least partially uncovered because they
form a tight seal. When cooking with containers
tightly covered with plastic wrap, remove covering
carefully and direct steam away from hands and
face.

microwave cooking is very useful, but should be
used carefully. Even microwave-safe plastic may not
be as tolerant of overcooking conditions as are glass
or ceramic materials. Plastic may soften or char if
subjected to short periods of overcooking. In longer
exposures to overcooking, the food and cookware
could ignite.
