Cookware Guide
Microwave-Safe Cookware
Use microwavable cookware.
• Ovenproof Glass
- Ovenproof glassware that is treated for high
intensity heat so it is heat-resistant is
microwave-safe.
- Use utility dishes, loaf dishes, pie plates, cake
plates, liquid measuring cups, casseroles and
bowls without metal rims.
- Do not use delicate glassware, such as
tumblers or wine glasses, as these might
shatter when heated.
• China: Use bowls, cups, serving plates, pottery,
stoneware, ceramic, and platters without metal
rims or handles. Many containers made of these
materials are microwave-safe, but test them
before use.
• Plastic
- Plastic Storage Containers: Use plastic
dishes, cups, semi-rigid freezer containers and
plastic bags only for short cooking times. Do
not use them when cooking food for long
