HELPFUL

INFORMATION

COOKING

UTENSILS

Shape

of

foods:

Microwaves

penetrate

only

about

1

inch

(2.5cm)

into

foods;

the

interior

portion

of

thick

foods

is

cooked

as

the

heat

generated

on

the

outside

travels

inward.

In

other

words,

only

the

outer

edge

of

any

food

is

actually

cooked

by

microwave

energy;

the

rest

is

cooked

by

convection.

It

follows

then

that

the

worst

possible

shape

for

a

food

that

is

to

be

microwaved

is

a

thick

cube.

The

corners

will

burn

long

before

the

center

is

even

warm.

Round,

thin,

and

ring

shaped

foods

cook

most

successfully

in

the

microwave.

Quantity

of

foods:

The

number

of

microwaves

in

your

oven

remains

constant

regardless

of

how

much

food

is

being

cooked.

Therefore,

the

more

food

you

place

in

the

oven,

the

longer

the

cooking

time.

Remember

to

decrease

cooking

times

by

at

least

one-third

when

halving

a

recipe.

MICROWAVE-SAFE

UTENSILS

Never

use

metal

or

metal-trimmed

utensils

in

your

microwave

oven:

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

microwave

oven.

However,

some

may

contain

materials

that

render

them

unsuitable

as

microwave

cookware.

If

you

have

any

doubts

about

a

particular

utensil,

there

is

a

simple

way

to

find

out

if

it

can

be

used

in

your

microwave

oven.

Testing

utensils

for

microwave

use:

Place

the

utensil

in

question

next

to

a

glass

bowl

filled

with

water

in

the

microwave

oven.

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

the

microwave

oven.

You

probably

have

many

items

on

hand

in

your

kitchen

that

can

be

used

as

cooking

equipment

in

your

microwave

oven.

Just

read

through

the

following

checklist.

1.

Dinner

plates:

Many

kinds

of

dinner-ware

are

microwave-safe.

If

in

doubt

consult

the

manufacturer's

literature

or

perform

the

microwave

test,

above.

2.

Glassware:

Glassware

that

is

heat-resistant

is

microwave-safe.

This

includes

all

brands

of

oven-

tempered

glass

cookware.

However,

do

not

use

delicate

glassware,

such

as

tumbler

or

wine

glasses,

as

these

might

shatter

as

the

food

warms.

3.

Paper:

Paper

plates

and

containers

are

convenient

and

safe

to

use

in

your

microwave

oven,

provided

the

cooking

time

is

short

and

foods

to

be

cooked

are

low

in

fat

and

moisture.

Paper

towels

are

also

very

useful

for

wrapping

foods

and

for

lining

baking

trays

in

which

greasy

foods,

such

as

bacon,

are

cooked.

In

general,

avoid

colored

paper

products

as

the

color

may

run.

4.

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.

5.

Plastic

cooking

bags:

These

are

microwave-

safe

provided they

are

specially

made

for

cooking.

However,

be

sure

to

make

a

slit

in

the

bag

so

that

steam

can

escape.

Never

use

ordinary

plastic

bags

for

cooking

in

your

microwave

oven,

as

they

will

melt

and

rupture.

6.

Plastic

microwave

cookware:

A

variety

of

shapes

and

sizes

of

microwave

cookware

is

available.

For

the

most

part,

you

can

probably

cook

with

items

you

already

have

on

hand

rather

than

investing

in

new

kitchen

equipment.

7.

Pottery,

stoneware,

and

ceramic:

Containers

made

of

these

materials

are

usually

fine

for

use

in

your

microwave

oven,

but

they

should

be

tested

to

be

sure.

CAUTION:

SOME

ITEMS

ARE

NOT

INTENDED

FOR

COOKING,

INCLUDING

SOME

STONEWARE

AND

ITEMS

WITH

HIGH IRON

OR

LEAD

CONTENTS.
