Microwave-safe
Utensils
Never use metal or metal trimmed utensils in using
microwave function Microwaves cannot penetrate metal.
They will bounce off any metal object in the oven and cause
arcing, an alarming phenomenon that resembles lightning.
Most heat resistant non metallic cooking utensils are safe for
use in your oven. However, some may contain materials that
render them unsuitable as microwave cookware. If you have
any doubts about a particular utensil, there‟s a simple way to
find out if it can be used in using microwave function. Place
the utensil in question next to a glass bowl filled with water in
using microwave function. Microwave at power HIGH for 1
minute. If the water heats up but the utensil remains cool to
the touch, the utensil is microwave~safe. However, if the
water does not change temperature but the utensil becomes
warm, microwaves are being absorbed by the utensil and it is
not safe for use in using microwave function. You probably
have many items on hand in your kitchen right now that can
be used as cooking equipment in using microwave function.
Just read through the following checklist.
Dinner plates
Many kinds of dinner-ware are microwave-safe. If in doubt
consult the manufacturer‟s literature or perform the
microwave test.
Glassware
Glassware that is heat-resistant is microwave-safe. This
would include all brands of oven tempered glass cookware.
However, do not use delicate glassware, such as tumblers or
wine glasses, as these might shatter as the food warms.
Plastic storage containers
These can be used to hold foods that are to be quickly
reheated. However, they should not be used to hold foods
that will need considerable time in the oven as hot foods will
eventually warp or melt plastic containers.
