Cooking
Accessories
(not included
with Microwave) Remarks
Plastic containers
Use microwave-safe containers only. Follow the manufacturer’s
instructions. Containers should be labeled “Microwave-Safe.”
Some plastic containers soften as the food inside gets hot. “Boiling
bags” and tightly closed plastic bags should be slit, pierced, or
vented as directed by package.
Plastic wrap
Microwave-safe only. Use to cover food during cooking to retain
moisture. Do not allow plastic wrap to touch food.
Wax paper Use a cover to prevent splattering and to help retain moisture.
Materials to Avoid in a Microwave Oven
Cooking Accessories
(not included with
Microwave) Remarks
Aluminum pan or tray
May cause arcing. Transfer food into microwave-safe
dish.
Food carton with metal handle
May cause arcing. Transfer food into microwave-safe
dish.
Metal or metal-trimmed utensils
Metal shields the food from microwave energy and may
cause arcing.
Metal twist ties May cause arcing and could cause a fire in the oven.
Plastic foam
Plastic foam may melt or contaminate the liquid inside
when exposed to high temperature.
Wood
Wood will dry out and may split. Avoid using wooden
containers or utensils in the oven.
The microwave oven has an electronic tube called a magnetron that produces microwaves,
very short radio waves. The microwaves then pass through a wave-guide and into the oven
cavity. The microwaves penetrate the food and cause water molecules within the food to
vibrate extremely rapidly. This vibration causes considerable friction or heat between the
water molecules resulting in a rapid rise in temperature. This type of heating is very efficient
and the cooking time is therefore shorter than in a conventional oven. The rate of heating
depends on the moisture content, shape, volume, and amount of food present. Metallic
materials totally reflect microwaves. Non-metallic materials such as glass, paper, and plastics
are partially transparent to microwaves. Microwaves do not directly heat the oven walls and
most cooking utensils because they do not absorb microwave energy. However, they fre-
quently get very warm through being in direct contact with hot food.
