Containers to Use
Choosing the correct container is a very important factor in deciding the success or failure of your cooking.
Quick Check Guide to Cooking Utensils
OVEN GLASS
POTTERY, EARTHENWARE, STONEWARE
Glass that is heat
resistant e.g. Pyrex
®
, is
ideal, and can be used for
MICROWAVE, GRILL,
CONVECTION and
COMBINATION.
Do not use delicate glass
which may crack due to
the heat from the food. Do
not use lead crystal which
may crack or arc.
Only use if completely
glazed. Do not use if
partially glazed or
unglazed, as they are
able to absorb water
which will absorb
microwave energy,
making the container very
hot and slowing down the
cooking of food.
CHINA AND CERAMIC
FOIL/METAL CONTAINERS
Glazed china plates,
saucers, bowls, mugs and
cups can be used if they
are heat resistant.
Porcelain and ceramic are
also ideal. Fine bone
china should only be used
for reheating for short
periods, otherwise the
change in temperature
may crack the dish or
craze the finish. Do not
use dishes with a metal
rim or pattern. Do not use
jugs or mugs with glued
handles, since the glue
can melt in a microwave.
NEVER ATTEMPT TO
COOK IN FOIL OR
METAL containers –
the
microwaves cannot pass
through and the food will
not heat evenly – this may
also damage your oven.
Use wooden kebab sticks
instead of metal skewers.
