using aluminium foil in your microwave
It is safe to use aluminium foil in your microwave as long as you
follow these safety guidelines.
As with all metal, microwave energy cannot pass through foil, but
provided that you keep the foil away from the side of the oven it
will not cause sparks and there will not be any damage to
your oven.
Using foil is a good way of shielding parts of food that you do not
want to cook as quickly as others – perhaps where the food is
thinner and would otherwise overcook.
Place the foil over the area you want to shield, taking care that
the foil will not touch the sides of the oven when the turntable
rotates. Only use one piece of foil at a time so that you do not
get sparks between the separate pieces.
Follow these guidelines when using foil in your microwave:
●
Remove foil lids from containers before using in the
microwave. Some lids are made of card with a foil covering
– these should be removed too. Use a microwave safe
transparent lid if possible.
●
Stir food during cooking if the container has a lid or film cover.
●
Always use the glass turntable.
●
Use shallow containers with a large surface area. Do not use
containers that are more than 1.25in (3.5cm) deep.
●
Use oven gloves when handling hot foil containers.
●
Do not completely cover food with foil. The microwave energy
cannot pass through the foil so the food will not cook.
●
Do not let aluminium foil touch the inside of the oven.
●
Do not use more than one piece of foil in the oven at the same
time.
