Microwaves cannot penetrate metal. They will bounce o 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, theres a simple way
to nd out if it can be used in the microwave.
Place the utensil in question next to a glass bowl lled 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 the microwave. Just read through the following checklist.

Many kinds of dinnerware are microwave-safe. If in doubt consult the manufacturers literature or perform the microwave test.

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.

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.

Paper plates and containers are convenient and safe to use in using microwave function, provided that 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 coloured paper products as the colour may run. Some recycled paper
products may contain impurities which could cause arcing or res when used in the microwave.

Provided they are made specially for cooking, cooking bags are microwave-safe. However, be sure to make a slit in the bag so that
steam can escape. Never use ordinary plastic bags for cooking in using microwave function, as they will melt and rupture.

A variety of shapes and sizes of microwave cookware are available. For the most part, you can probably use items you already have on
hand rather than investing in new kitchen equipment.
