Chances are, you already own dishes that are safe to use in a convection microwave oven, although you can certainly find cookware made specifically for these ovens. Find out what items are safe to use when preparing food in these appliances.

If you are unsure that a dish is safe, fill the dish with water and run the microwave for a minute. If the dish itself is hot, then it should not be used in the microwave.

Do not use any cookware that has gold or silver trim. This trim can create sparks. Also, wood items should be avoided as they will dry out and potentially crack when exposed to heat. Glazed ceramic can break.

Foil containers or lining dishes with foil should not be done. However, a limited amount of foil is safe to use as long as it is not touching the inside walls of the appliance.

Plastics that are designated microwave safe are generally good to use, although cheap cookware should generally be avoided. Corningware and Pyrex are good for microwaving. Clear glass containers that pass the water test mentioned above work well, too.

By following these tips, you should be able to find safe microwave cookware.
