Cookware and utensils guide for microwave cooking
Cookware used in a microwave oven must be microwave safe.
Recommended
Microwave plastic wrap
Use to retain steam. Leave a small opening for steam to
escape and avoid placing it directly on the food.
Paper towels and paper
napkins
Use for short-term heating and covering; these absorb excess
moisture and prevent spattering. Do not use recycled paper
towels, which may contain metal and could ignite.
Heat-resistant glass and
glass-ceramic dishes
Use for heating or cooking.
Paper plates and cups
Use for short-term heating at low temperatures. Do not use
recycled paper, which may contain metal and could ignite.
Wax paper
Use as a cover to prevent spattering.
Thermometers
Use only those labeled "Microwave Safe" and follow
directions. Check the food in several places. Conventional
thermometers may be used on microwave food once the food
has been removed from the oven.
Limited Use
Aluminium foil
Use narrow strips of foil to prevent overcooking of exposed
areas. However, take care not to use too much foil, and keep
a distance of 2–3cm between the foil and the cavity wall.
Ceramic, porcelain and
stoneware dishes
Use these if they are labelled "Microwave Safe". If they are
not labelled, test them to make sure they can be used safely.
Plastic
Use only if labelled "Microwave Safe". Other plastics can melt.
Not Recommended
Glass jars and bottles
Regular glass is too thin to be used in a microwave. It can
shatter and cause damage and injury.
Paper bags
These are a fire hazard, except for popcorn bags that are
designed for microwave use.
Styrofoam plates and
cups
These can melt and leave an unhealthy residue on food.
Plastic storage and food
containers
Containers such as margarine tubs can melt in the
microwave.
Metal utensils or trays
These can damage your oven. Do not use in the microwave.
