Utensils Guide
1. The ideal material for a microwave utensil is a microwave safe transparent plastic dish.
2. Microwaves cannot pass through metal. Metallic utensils, dishes with metallic trim and aluminum foil
should not be used.
3. Do not use recycled paper products when microwave cooking as they may contain small metal fragments
which can cause sparks and/or fires.
4. Round/oval dishes rather than square dishes are recommended, as food in the corners tends to overcook.
The list below is a general guide to help you select the correct utensils.
