Materials you can use
Material Remarks
Aluminum foil
Use as shielding only. Small, smooth pieces can be used to cover thin
parts of meat or poultry to prevent overcooking. Arcing can occur if the
foil is too close to microwave walls. The foil should be at least one inch
(2.5 cm) away from microwave walls.
Browning dish
Follow the manufacturer’s instructions. The bottom of the browning dish
must be at least 3/16-in. (5mm) above the turntable. 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.
Glass jars
Always remove the lid. Use only to heat food until just warm. Most glass
jars are not heat resistant and may break.
Glassware
Use heat-resistant microwave glassware only. Make sure that 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 allow steam to escape.
Paper plates and
cups
Use for short–term cooking/warming only. Do not leave the microwave
unattended while cooking.
Paper towels
Use to cover food for reheating and absorbing fat. Use with supervision
for short-term cooking only.
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.

vented, as indicated on the package.

Use microwave-safe only. Use to cover food during cooking to retain
moisture. Do not allow plastic wrap to touch food.
