oven. But many of the “plastic”
utensils are made from materials
that can take temperatures up to
400* F. The glass utensils draw
more heat from the cooking food,
so cooking times may be slightly
longer than plastics. However, the
glass ones keep food warmer
longer at the table. But glass
breaks and is heavier... 1 can’t tell
you which to choose! You will have
to decide which things are im
protanttoyou.
Here are a few microwave
utensils and accessories that would
make good gifts.
• Wooden or plastic stirring
spoons, which can be left in a
microwave during cooking (about
SM).
• A kitchen scale for weighing
vegetables and meats to determine
cooking time. Most vegetables and
meats can be cooked for 6-7
minutes per pound on high (from
about sl(£|4o).
• A plastic 10-or 12-cut bundt pan
for baking cakes. This pan holds
any two layer cake for easy baking
(about $7-10).
• Two 9-inch round plastic layer
cake pans. These pans are easier
to bake in (but harder to find in
stores) than the round glass pans
(about IMIQ each).
• For someone who bakes a lot,
or whose oven cooks unevenly, a
turntable would be a welcome gift.
Both the battery and the wind up
kind work well (from about $2540).
• The small “instant read”
thermometers can be left in the
microwave during cooking since
they don’t contain mercury. They
are helpful for roasting meats and
making yogurt in ovens without a
temperature probe (about $lO-115).
• A microwave cookbook. For a
beginning microwave cook, “Let’s
Cook Microwave,” by Barbara
Harris can’t be beat. Harris’ book
is available by mail (but might not
make it before Christmas) from:
Mrs. Barbara Harris, P.O. Box
2992, Portland, Oregon 97206.
Prices include shipping: |6 for
paperback, $8.95 for spiral bound.
Many other cookbooks are
available where microwaves are
sold and in bookstores.
• Heat resistant (Pyrez-type)
glass measuring cups: the 4 and 8
cup sizes are very useful and
inexpensive “pots” for a
microwave. I use these for

scrambled eggs, pudding, sauces,

• A subscription to “The
Microwave Times.” This
publication has good recipes and
articles, a column on adapting
recipes and many other features.
It is my favorite microwave
magazine. The current (Mice of a
one year subscription (six issues)
is $8.96. Send check or money order
to: The Microwave Times, Box
1271, Burnsville, Mn. 55337.
• RUBBERMAID has a nice line
of white plastic microwave
utensils that stack easily, and their
lids are interchangeable. These
are not safe for oven heat as are
some other “plastic” utensils.
• CORNING has a new line of
pyroceramic utensils, called
“VISIONS.” These clear brown
glass pots can be used on a range
burner, in an oven, or in a
microwave. But you can’t stack
them for storage!
• The WEAR-EVER Company
has some new “Silver Stone lined
glass cookware that is microsafe
and much easier to clean than the
plastic pans.
• ANCHOR-HOCKING has a new
line of white, “SUPREME
MICROWAVE,” in addition to
their greyish-tan “Microwave”
line. Both are safe for oven heat up
to 400* F. The Supreme microwave
products are heavy so they will
retain heat longer, and come with
plastic refrigerator covers as well
as the cooking lids.
• REGAL has a new line of
“METALWAVE” cookware.
These are metal and plastic
utensils that are safe in a
microwave. Foods cooked in these
(a baker/fryer, steamer, grill, and
egg cooker) are enclosed in the
metal utensil and cooked by steam
and conducted heat, not direct
microwave cooking. These
produce nice results and browned
foods, but are expensive to buy
(about $3O-40 each).
From wooden or plastic spoons
to turntables and fancy cookware
sets... there’s a microwave gift to
fit your budget!
