Containers to use
PLASTIC
Many plastic containers are designed for
microwave use. Only use containers if they are
designed for microwave use. Do not use
Melamine as it will scorch. Do not use plastic for
cooking foods high in sugar or fat or foods that
require long cooking time e.g. brown rice. Never
cook in margarine containers or yogurt pots, as
these will melt with the heat from the food.
PAPER
Plain white kitchen paper (kitchen towel) can be used for
covering blind pastry cases and for covering sausage to
prevent splattering ONLY USE FOR SHORT COOKING
TIME. NEVER RE-USE A PIECE OF KITCHEN TOWEL.
Avoid kitchen paper containing manmade fibers. Check
that branded re-cycled kitchen towel is recommended for
microwave use. Do not use waxed or plastic coated cups
as the finish may melt in the oven. Greaseproof paper can
be used to line the base of dishes and to cover fatty foods.
White paper plates can be used for SHORT REHEATING
TIMES, ON MICROWAVE ONLY.
WICKER, WOOD, STRAW BASKETS
Do not use these items in your microwave. With
continued use and with prolonged exposure they will
crack and could ignite.
ALUMINIUM FOIL
Small amounts of smooth aluminium foil can be used to
SHIELD joints of meat during defrosting. As the microwaves
cannot pass through the foil this prevents the shielded parts
from overcooking or overdefrosting.
The foil must not touch the sides or roof of the oven, as this
may cause arching and damage your oven.
ROASTING BAGS
These are useful when slit up one side to tent a joint of meat
when roasting by power and time. DO NOT USE THE METAL
TWISTS SUPPLIED.
