Last Update date : 2015.07.30

Safe Utensils and Cooking Dishes

Rule of thumb: If it says "Microwave Safe" on the utensil or dish, you can use it. Use these guidelines for all others.

Cooking Utensils - Recommended Use:

• Glass and glass-ceramic bowls and dishes - Use for heating or cooking.

• Microwave browning dish - Use to brown the exterior of small items such as steaks, chops, or pancakes. Follow the directions provided with your browning dish.

• Microwavable plastic wrap - Use to retain steam. Leave a small opening for some steam to escape and avoid placing it directly on the food.

• Wax paper - Use as a cover to prevent spattering.

• Paper towels and napkins - Use for short-term heating and covering; they absorb excess moisture and prevent spattering. Do not use recycled paper towels, which may contain metal and can catch fire.

• Paper plates and cups - Use for short-term heating at low temperatures. Do not use recycled paper, which may contain metal and can catch fire.

• Thermometers - Use only those labeled "Microwave Safe" and follow all directions. Check the food in several places. Conventional thermometers may be used once the food has been removed from the oven.

Limited Use

• Aluminum foil - Use narrow strips of foil to prevent overcooking of exposed areas. Using too much foil can damage your oven, so be careful.

• Ceramic, porcelain, and stoneware - Use these if they are labeled "Microwave Safe" If they are not labeled, test them to make sure they can be used safely. Never use dishes with metallic trim.

•Plastic - Use only if labeled "Microwave Safe". Other plastics can melt.

•Straw, wicker, and wood - Use only for short-term heating, as they can be flammable.

Not Recommended

• Glass jars and bottles - Regular glass is too thin to be used in a microwave, and can shatter.

• Paper bags - These are a fire hazard, except for popcorn bags that are designed for microwave use.

• Styrofoam plates and cups - These can melt and leave an unhealthy residue on food.

• Plastic storage and food containers - Containers such as margarine tubs can melt in the microwave.

• Metal utensils - These can damage your oven. Remove all metal before cooking.

Testing Utensils

If you are not sure whether a dish is microwave-safe or not, you can perform this test:

1. Fill a 1 cup glass measuring cup with water and put it inside your oven, next to the dish you want to test.



2. Press the One Minute+ button once to heat them for one minute at High power.

NOTE: The water should be warm and the dish you are testing should be cool. If the dish is warm, then it is absorbing microwave energy and is not acceptable for use in the microwave.

3 4 GETTING TO KNOW YOUR MICROWAVE OVEN Cooking Comparison Guide Cooking with your new convection microwave oven offers a wide variety of food preparation options such as microwave cooking, convection cooking and combination cooking. Microwave cooking uses high-frequency electromagnetic radiation. Microwave cooking heats the food directly, not the cookware or the interior of the oven. Reheating is simple and defrosting is convenient because less time is spent in food preparation and food does not stay out on a counter to defrost where it can spoil. Convection cooking use hot air movement by means of a fan to provide faster cooking. The fan gently sends air to every area of the food, quickly browning, crisping and sealing in moisture and flavor. It produces more even temperature all around the food by air movement, so that food cooks evenly. Combination cooking combines the microwave energy with the convection to cook with speed and accuracy, while browning and crisping to perfection. The following guide shows the difference and the advantages for each type of cooking. Cookware Guide Microwave cooking: Most heat-resistant, non-metallic cookware is safe for your microwave oven. However, to test the cookware before using, place the empty cookware into the microwave with a glass measuring cup filled with water next to it. Microwave on 100% power for 1 minute. If the cookware is warm, then it should not be used for microwave cooking. Convection cooking: Metal pans are recommended for all types of baked products, but especially if browning and crusting is important. Dark or dull finished metal pans are best for breads and pies because they absorb heat and produce a crisper crust. Shiny aluminum pans are best for cakes, cookies or muffins because these pans reflect heat and help produce a light, tender crust. You can also use oven safe glass or ceramic cookware. Combination cooking: Glass or glass-ceramic bake ware is recommended. Be sure not use items with metal trim as it may cause arcing (sparking) with the oven wall or oven shelf., damaging the oven wall, shelf or oven. Heat-resistant plastic microwave cookware (safe to 450˚F) may be used, but it is not recommended for foods that require crusting or all around browning. • Shortened cooking times from microwave energy. • Browning from convection heat. • Browns and seals in the flavor of foods. • Cooks food faster than conventional ovens. • Fast, efficient cooking. • Oven and cookware does not get hot. • Easy clean-up. BENEFITS Microwave and circulating heated air. HEAT SOURCE Microwave energy. Circulating heated air. A combination of microwave energy and convection heat combine to shorten the cooking time while browning and sealing in the juices of the food at the same time. Hot air circulates around the food to brown the food and seal in the juices. Microwave energy is distributed evenly throughout the oven for fast thorough cooking. COOKING METHOD MICROWAVE CONVECTION

You can use a mild detergent if the oven gets very dirty. Do not use oven cleaning sprays or harsh cleansers as they may damage the surface of the microwave oven. 4. Wipe the outside surface of the convection microwave oven with a damp cloth. Do not allow any water to seep into the ventilation openings. 5. Wipe the door, window door seal and control panel with a damp cloth frequently to remove any spills or spatters. Do not use any abrasive cleanser as it will damage the finish. 6. Do not allow the control panel to become wet. When cleaning the control panel, leave the door open slightly to prevent the oven from turning on accidentally. 7. If steam accumulates inside or around the oven door, wipe with a dry, soft cloth. This may occur when the microwave is used under high humidity conditions. 8. Clean the glass turntable, turntable drive plate, pizza pan and metal rack in warm, soapy water or place in the dishwasher. 9. Clean the bottom of the oven with a damp cloth and a mild detergent. 10.

Never operate the oven empty or without the glass turntable when using the microwave mode. When using the pre-heat and/or the convection fan setting, then you can operate it empty. 2. Does microwave energy pass through the viewing screen of the door? No. the screen bounces the energy back into the oven cavity. The holes allow only the light to pass through. 3. Can my microwave oven be damaged if the food is cooked for too long? Like any other cooking appliance, it is possible to overcook food to the point that the food creates smoke and possibly even fire and damage the inside of the oven. It is always best to be near the oven when you are cooking. If the food that you are cooking catches fire, turn the oven “Off” and remove the plug from the electrical outlet.

 DO NOT OPEN THE DOOR. 4. Why do some baked foods have a dry, brown spot? A hard, dry spot indicates overcooking. Shorten the cooking time. 5. Why do eggs sometimes pop? When baking, frying or poaching eggs, the yolk may pop due to steam buildup inside the yolk. To prevent this, pierce the yolk before cooking. Caution: Never microwave eggs in the shell. 6. Why is standing time recommended after microwave cooking time is over? Standing time allows foods to continue cooking evenly for a few minutes after the actual microwave oven cooking cycle ends. The amount of standing time depends on the density of the foods. Follow the recipe suggestions. 7. Why is additional time required for cooking food that was stored in the refrigerator? As in convention cooking, the initial temperature of the food affects the total cooking time. Troubleshooting 1.
