Materials you can use
WARNING: Tightly-closed containers can explode. Open closed containers and

your microwave and cook on HIGH for 30 seconds. If the dish becomes very hot,
you should not use it in your microwave.
MATERIAL REMARKS
Browning dish Use to brown the exterior of small items such as steaks,
chops, or pancakes. Follow the directions provided with
your browning dish. Incorrect usage may cause the
turntable to break.
Dinnerware Use microwave-safe only. Follow the manufacturer's
instructions. Do not use cracked or chipped dishes.
Glassware Use heat-resistant oven glassware only. Make sure there
is no metallic trim. Do not use cracked or chipped dishes.
Oven cooking bags Follow the manufacturer’s instructions. Do not close with
a metal tie. Make slits to let steam escape.
Paper plates and cups Use for short–term cooking/warming at low
temperatures. Do not use recycled paper, which may
contain metal and could ignite.
Paper towels Use to cover food for reheating and absorbing fat. These
absorb excess moisture and prevent spattering. Do not
use recycled paper towels, which may contain metal and
could ignite.
Parchment paper Use as a cover to prevent splattering or a wrap for
steaming.
Plastic Use only if labeled “microwave safe.” Follow the
manufacturer’s instructions. Some plastic containers
soften as the food inside gets hot. “Boiling bags” and
tightly closed plastic bags should be slit, pierced, or
vented, as indicated on the package.
