MicrowavingTips
@ Make sure all utensils used in
your microwave oven are labeled
“suitable for microwaving”. Check
your Cookbook for specific test
to determine “microwave-safe”
utensils.
e Paper towels, wax paper, and
plastic wrap can be used to cover
dishes in order to retain moisture
and prevent spattering.
e Some microwaved foods require
stirring, rotating, or rearranging.
Check your Cookbook for specific
instructions.
@ Some foods such as unshelled
eggs and hot dogs must be pierced
to allow steam to escape during
cooking.
