Microwave cookware guide
• Cookware used for microwaving must be microwave safe. Use the table below
to help you select the right cookware and utensils for use in the oven.
• We recommend round/oval dishes for microwave cooking rather than square/
oblong ones, as food in the corners of a container tends to overcook.
• Microwaves cannot penetrate metal, so do not use any cookware made of
or containing metal, such as dishes with a metallic trim, metal racks, trays or
utensils, aluminium foil, or foil containers.
• To check whether a utensil is suitable for use, place the empty utensil in
the microwave oven and heat at high power for 60 seconds. If the utensil
becomes very hot, do not use it in the microwave oven.
• Do not use recycled paper products when microwave cooking, as they may
contain small metal fragments which may cause sparks and/or fires.
Microwave cooking principles
• Watch the cooking time. Cook for the shortest amount of time indicated and
add more time as needed. Severely overcooked food can smoke or ignite.
• Cover the food, but not tightly, to prevent spattering and help food cook
evenly.
• Turn foods over once during microwaving to speed up the cooking time for
smaller pieces of food. Large pieces must be turned over at least once.
• Arrange the food so the thickest parts are towards the outside of the dish.
• Take special care with the glass tray. Do not place hot food or utensils on
the cold turntable tray or frozen food or utensils on the hot tray. Let the tray
cool down before cleaning. Make sure your cooking container is dry, as a wet
surface may generate excessive heat which could damage the glass tray.
