Choosing the correct container is a very

important factor in deciding the success or

failure of your cooking.

Testing Dishes for Suitability

When unsure that a cooking

con tainer is suitable for use in your

microwave, check by the follow ing test:

1. Fill a microwave safe measur ing jug

with 300 ml (½ pt) cold water.

2. Place it on the turntable along side the

dish to be tested. If the dish you are

testing is a large dish, then stand the

measur ing jug on top of the empty

dish.

3. Heat on 1000 W for 1 minute.

Result

If the dish is suitable for micro waving, it

will remain cool, whilst the water in the jug

will begin to feel warm. If the testing dish

feels warm, do not use as it is absorbing

microwave energy.

Note

This test does not apply to plastic or

metal based con tainers

e.g. Le Creuset

style dishes, which

should not be used as they are cast

iron covered with enamel.

Oven Glass

Everyday glass that is heat

resistant e.g. Pyrex

, is ideal

for microwave or combination

cooking. Do not use for grilling

on the wire rack. Do not use

delicate glass or lead crystal

which may crack or arc.

China and Ceramic

Everyday glazed china,

porcelain or ceramic plates,

bowls, mugs and cups can be

used if they are heat resis tant.

Fine bone china should only

be used for reheating for short

periods. Do not use dishes

with a metal rim or pattern.

Do not use jugs or mugs with

glued handles, since the glue

can melt. If dishes are heat

resistant they may be used on

combination but not directly

under the grill.

Pottery, Earthenware,

Stoneware

If completely glazed, these

dishes are suitable. Do not use

if partially glazed or unglazed,

since they are able to absorb

water which in turn absorbs

microwave energy, making the

container very hot and slows

down the cooking of food.

Foil/Metal Containers

Never attempt to cook in

foil or metal con tai ners

on microwave only as the

microwaves cannot pass

through and the food will

not heat evenly, it may also

damage your oven. Foil and

metal containers can be

used on grill and may be

used with care during certain

combination cooking as long

as they are not damaged or

dented.
