IMPORTANT -COOKWARE NOT TO USE
IN YOUR MICROWAVE OVEN
- Do not use metal pans or dishes with
metal handles.
- Do not use anything with metal trim.
- Do not use paper covered wire twist-ties
on plastic bags.
- Do not use melamine dishes as they
contain a material which will absorb
microwave energy. This may cause the
dishes to crack or char and will slow
down the cooking speed.
- Do not use Centura Tableware. The
glaze is not suitable for microwave use.
Corelle Livingware closed handle cups
should not be used.
- Do not cook in a container with a
restricted opening, such as a pop bottle
or salaed oil bottle, as they may explode
if heated in a microwave oven.
- Do not use conventional meat or candy
thermometers.
- There are the thermometers available
specifically for microwave cooking.
These may be used.
9. Microwave utensils should be used only in
accordance with manufacturer's
instructions.
10. Do not attempt to deep-fry foods in this
oven.
11. Please remember that a microwave oven
only heats the liquid in a container rather
than the container itself.Therefore, even
though the lid of a container is not hot to the
touch when removed from the oven, please
remember that the food/liquid inside will be
releasing the same amount of steam and/or
spitting when the lid is removed as in
conventional cooking.
12 Always test the temperature of cooked food
yourself especially if you are heating or
cooking food/liquid for babies. It is
advisable never to consume food/liquid
straight from the oven but allow it to stand
for a few minutes and stir food/liquid to
distribute heat evenly.
13. Food containing a mixture of fat and water,
e.g.stock,should stand for 30-60 seconds in
the oven after it has been turned off. This is
to allow the mixture to settle and to prevent
bubbling when a spoon is placed in the
food/liquid or a stock cube is added.
14. When preparing/cooking food/liquid and
remember that there are certain foods, e.g.
Christmas puddings, jam and mincemeat,
which heat up very quickly. When heating
or cooking foods with a high fat or sugar
content do not use plastic containers.
15. Cooking utensil may become hot because
of heat transferred from the heated food.
This is especially true if plastic wrap has
been covering the top and handles of the
utensil. Potholders may be needed to
handle the utensil.
16. To reduce the risk of fire in the oven cavity:
a) Do not overcook food. Carefully attend
microwave oven if paper, plastic, or
other combustible materials are placed
inside the oven to facilitate cooking.
b) Remove wire twist-ties from bags
before placing bag in oven.
c) If materials inside the oven should
ignite, keep oven door closed, turn the
oven off at the wall switch, or shut off
power at the fuse or circuit breaker
panel.
