Suitable Cookware to use in Microwaves
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 aluminium 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.
