Microwaving Tips
●
Make sure all cookware used i n
your microwave oven is suitable
for microwaving. 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.”
If you are not sure if a dish is
microwave-safe, use this test:
Place in the oven both the dish you
are testing and a glass measuring
cup
filled
with one cup water—set
the measuring cup either in or next
to the dish. Microwave
I
minute at
high.
If
the dish heats, it should not
be used for microwaving.
If the
dish remains cool and
only
the
water in the cup heats, then the
dish is microwave-safe.
● Paper towels, waxed paper and
plastic wrap
can
be used to cover
dishes in order to retain moisture
and prevent spattering.
● Some microwaved foods
require stirring, rotating or
rearranging. Check the Cooking
Guide.
● Steam builds up pressure in
foods which are tightly covered
by a skin or membrane. Pierce
potatoes, egg yolks and chicken
livers to prevent bursting.
If
you use a meat thermometer
while cooking, make sure it is
safe for use in microwave ovens.
