Suitable containers for microwave use
46
Microwaves are reflected by metal,
pass through glass, porcelain, plastic
and card,
and are absorbed by food.
Fire hazard. Non-microwave safe
dishes can suffer damage or
damage the oven if used with
Microwave solo
or Microwave
combination programmes.
The material and shape of the
containers used affect cooking results
and times.
Heat distribution is more even in round
and oval shaped flat containers than in
rectangular containers, providing better
results.
Suitable containers for
microwave use
Glassware
Heat-resistant glass or ceramic dishes
are ideal for use with microwave power.
Exception: Do not use crystal glass
as it contains lead which can crack
or shatter with microwave power.
Porcelain
Porcelain is a suitable material.
Exception: Do not use porcelain with
gold rims or cobalt blue or items with
hollow knobs or handles, as
insufficient ventilation may cause a
build-up of pressure.
Earthenware
Decorated earthenware is only suitable
if the decoration is beneath an all-over
glaze.
Danger of burning. Wear oven gloves
when removing earthenware dishes
from the oven.
